So it seems to be BMW/Audi/Mazdazine lately....

So I decided to stray away from the pack a bit

This is my 2003 Porsche 911 Turbo with the X50 package.



And here are some more pictures...(in no order)

engine

Wing up

dash lit up

carbon fiber short shifter

more carbon fiber

dash

crappy interior shot lol

front quarter with black BBS

wing down... please excuse my finger



I wanted a car that was powerful, fast, and comfortable enough to be a DD. I really wanted a Porsche and I stumbled upon this beauty online about a week ago and knew that was it.

Specs- 03 911 Turbo with X50.
450hp
AWD
0-60 in 3.8
claimed 202 MPH top speed.... (we'll see at the texas mile)

If you are 19, I'm wondering how you can afford a $53K car and the maintenance that will come with it?

In all honesty, and I really really mean this when I say it, it was a gift.
Grades and extremely generous parents.

Parents.

If his parents bought a $53k car for him, I'm sure the maintenance won't be much of a problem...

The only downside of this is that now you probably won't be able to enjoy all the other affordable fun cars out in the market.

You can only upgrade so much, you know?

But, really, enjoy it when you can!

Congrats, dude!!

Both my first cars were given to me without me asking....it didn't make my head any bigger and in fact, it made me appreciate them even more. The Elantra is the first car I did all myself and I pay for everything....insurance, gas, maintenance and the payments.

you have my word.

I still have to learn how this car reacts. So it'll be slow and steady until I get some track days in. There's no need to go fast on public roads.
