Hey guys, it's just a car to drive. Not like it's a 914
Is there a motor in here? Where's the TPS? Distributor? Does it have spark plug wires?

Blue, ain't it?

Does this color make my ass look big?

I prefer to think of it as having broad shoulders. Will this help me get chicks?

Phew, it's a waterfilled 996.

That's like a rear engined Lexus, only without the stigma of reliability.

For a second, I thought you meant someone bought a REAL 911!

OUCH!!!!!!

Let the slinging begin....

I'm jealous. I'll trade you a Ferrari for a Porsche for a day!
1.7 914 guys need not reply to that offer.

Nice Car

I was wondering who bought that car. Good luck.

Wait, there's more! It's TIPTRONIC!

But back to the whole car story, saw it a couple of weeks ago in my endless pursuit to acquire all the 914's in the Western World that Camp 914 has missed.

The teener was a bomb, but here sat this 996 at a really good price. Lots of miles, 90K, and reliability was a question with the early wasserboxers. But the more I thought about it:

996's weigh almost 200lbs less than 993's
They run an average of 3 seconds per lap faster at Streets and the big track.
Saw Mike's notes on the Boxster with a new 996 crate motor being less than $10k installed. Since this car was about $10k less than market...

So I got the VIN, ran the carfax, all is well. Call the original selling dealer (Pacific). Great service manager, buy anything you can from them. He says, 'Oh, that car. Buy it!'

Says it just had 90K service 2500 miles ago, new pads/rotors, flush all fluids, etc., and by the way, we put a new engine in it at around 60k miles. New Kumhos all around. Oy, such a deal!

BTW, I have a month of CARFAX. Email (NOT PM) the vin if anyone needs one.

looks good howard.

I just bought two 911's, but at least they are air cooled, one will be giving it's essence to a 914 though. I'm still not sure I like them. It just doesn't feel right. I feel like my "essence" gets smaller every time I drive one of them

TIPTRONIC? Man you are getting old. So I guess you'll be spending all your tiime on the 911 Bird Board.

They are awfully sensitive over there. Must be all the estrogen.

Nice ride, now you can go to 6speedonline. "Dude, I just flashed my chip, got an EVO intake, and a Misha wing!"
Oh wait, do they allow Tip car owners to log in there?

Didn't you want the masculine model?

FUCK ALL Y'ALL.
I've got 300hp, you don't, and Drew will let me drive his Ferrari.

And have you heard? Porsche is going back to air cooling.






NOT!

Well, you do have a point there.

Although maybe I'll pull a plug wire and that'll put me down to *only* 300, just like you!

POC track day at Streets of Willow coming up. Want me to beat you with the 2.0, V8, or the slushomatic?

Well you don't have to worry about heel and toe in high heeled pumps....no clutch.....

Ahh, you can't get me there.

I gave up my AX and track days 10 years ago.

I suck at it, and I know it!

(P.S. PM me your e-mail and I'll send you some pics and info on my new ride)

On the other hand, doesn't it have a push button shifting transmission, "JUST LIKE A FORMULA ONE CAR!!!!"

Dude, I'm 64 years old, balding, overweight, and taking mind altering drugs. You gave up the track? Wuss!

Edit. It does have pushbutton shifting. Asshole sold me the car without an owners manual. I thought I was turning up the strereo and got sideways.

Hey! Is that one of those rear engined Boxsters?

NICE "SENIOR VEHICLE" HOWARD! Now, all you need is a handicaped plate................................will the "walker " fit in the trunk? What has happened to our fearless leader?..........

I didn't get this much shit when I drove my Hyundai to WCC. You guys are harsh! Can't get on the Bird Board 911 thingy, cause it's a water pumper, and can't play with the other group with the Tip.

I just feel so alone and must just give away the car. Anyone wanna just come get it and save me from the shame?

Nice donor!

















Couldn't resist!

you scored howie. i've said it before and i'll say it again. the best porsche ever made is the latest 911.

Thanks, Matt, I saw your post on the bird.
Rob, Marianne has one of those stickers from her knee surgery. Think I'll slap it on next event and go for the sympathy vote.

Didn't you just start a thread the other day about a "dream car" that is COMPLETELY THE OPPOSITE of this car?


-Tony

OK, I overspent by 6K and 900 lbs. But this is transport, not a dream car. Get back to work.

The 996 is 200lbs lighter than a 993?

The 996 Tiptronic weighs even more than manual trans 996s.

I thought a 993 weighs in at 3014lbs(1370Kg) the C2 variety.

993 Data Sheet

Olav, here's the stuff from POC. Tip's are heavier, of course.

The classes are (s)tock, (i)mproved, and (p)repared.
Lap record for 914/4 improved is 1:18.736

That's an awesome car. I got to drive a 99 like yours that was a 6 speed and it's a fricking blast. I would give one of my left nuts for one ( as long as it dosn't go towards a 6 first ) Have fun howard that's gona be a great car for a lot of miles and a hell of a kick in the ass in the process.

Eric

oh yeah - more pictures please she's pretty.

Damn, Howard!!!!... I thought they meant something else when they called you an ass dragger!
