Thread: My move to the dark side

  1. #21
    Guess I'm still willing to fight the "fight." Even with all the obstacles, etc...I'm up for the challenge and I'm a glutton for punishment.

    Huge difference between a 996 GT3 and a GTI though! I've been having a lot of fun in my 996 Carrera but am going to trade it for a 996 Turbo now -- could not resist the Mezger pull.

    Beautiful car!
    Thanks. My air cooled friends make fun of me after purchasing a 996. I had to buy this one, early 98 car with 32k miles from new. I love it already although i will put it back on it's correct turbo twist wheels.

    The early 996's are the best. Although, the Turbo is definitely growing on me.

    Considering a Boxster. More than a little clueless about years, updates, etc. Somewhat aware of IMS bogeyman. Suggestions?

    I am no expert. But when i had that itch i was encouraged by those that know better to buy the newest Boxster you can.
    I bought a 2005 Boxster S with 30,000 miles. that was back around 2012 before the twin turbo 4 bangers were around
    I have never regrated it.... love the car.
    I have test driven the twin turbo 4 banger and that car is awesome.
    most of 2005 and on up, the ims is more b.s. than reality. (According to the lawyers that did the class suit)

    But the dark side? Ha I say....

    I just recently bought this guy, and this indeed is a move to the "dark" side if you ask me.
