If you can't see belting, you're still good.

I asked for a discount at Discount since the kid checking the car out didn't need to spend time measuring tread depth.

I'm pretty stoked with the even wear.

Is that a hooked X in the tire? If so, those tires were made by the Knights Templar.

Re: Opinions: time for new rears?
Really nice wear! Stock suspension?
2003 Carrera: Dark Teal Metallic
Re: Opinions: time for new rears?
Nope - previous owner included the suspension in his quest to spend as much money as possible on a 996. Near as I can tell, he spent $15-20K transmogrifying his '99 C4 into a GT3. Every once in a while I find yet another hidden upgrade, like the Turbo Mike (now IPD) plenum I found while replacing the starter.
All of that work, and he didn't change ANYTHING in the interior. 100% stock. Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck tracking down the P.O. - I'd send him a fruit basket. Or a gift certificate for his hooker of choice.
