20 years later.... I have it. My 911.

[Digital K]

I'm not sure on an exact time, but sometime around being 10 years old I started to like cars more than just liking ALL of the matchbox cars I had. Some became cooler than others. Some were completely undesirable and were "sandbox" cars.

As I got a little bit older, I got books about cars. Then there were drawings and posters of cars. (and monsters). I liked the countach, the corvette, and of course, the Porsche 911. This is the pinnacle of what I thought I would ever own. I never imagined being able to have one.

I'll use this thread to document the car, and the plans I have for it. I'll write much more about the details surrounding the journey and trip I had to go get the car for publication, but here are some photos from the trip.

P.s. Its funny (but not really) for a little while to keep asking me when I'll sell the car, but it gets old. I am seriously in love with this car. It's been decades in the making. This is my (cliche I know) dream car. Lets just leave it at that. alright? Alright.

I was so so so so frickin tired. I slept about 5-7 hours in the previous 60 hours.



here is me when I first got to see the car. it was clean then







first gas stop:





at sonic...



tail is good for something...






had to stop to eat somewhere distinctly southern. I pooped at a rest stop later.



its pretty much this the whole time:



awesome codriver:




once we got back to the midwest, I pulled over for a photo. car very dirty by this point. it rained the entire first day.

Next up is getting rid of the whale tail, getting euro headlights to replace the embarrassing US DOT approved sealed beam crap, and finding some polished caps for the fuchs...which are 16x8 and 16x7 off of the 930T and optioned late carreras. kinda valueable I hear. I think I'll keep them for quite some time.

one more!

Great buy and I plan to pay attention to this thread. I envy you. I wish I could afford the car I have lusted after since I was 10.

I honestly can't believe it. It didnt feel real till I got closer to home. All of a sudden I realized I want just going to not have it when I got to my destination. It was mine. Holy crap. The whole drive I kept bumping glen and just looking at him with a grin on my face in a "Like...yeah!? yes!? this is happening?" kinda way....
