So, my sincerest apologies to all of you that were affected by the attempt to ban Russian hackers.

You should stick to things you know and are skilled with KC. Living in Kansas... You should know not to touch anything digital or made in 21st century.

Stick to goats, B52s, hammers, duct tape, 350s, and PBR.

And yet, it seems almost the same here as when you were gone.

Thx! After two days of ownership, I can attest that this is the finest car I have ever driven. Loved my 996. This takes it to the next level!!!

Only problem... with the Sport Suspension it is very low. I need to buy a case of lip spoilers. Can't even get out of my driveway without scraping.

With it being the same color (hundreds of search hours to find this car), it feels like my 996 was given a youth injection.

Ditto for my GT4 -- front spoiler lips are a wear item (a $300/ea wear item). It rubs on driveways, speed bumps, road kill, you name it. So far at least I've done only superficial damage, the evidence of which is easily removed with a 100 grit sanding block and a spritz of ArmorAll.

My 996 has none of these issues, which is why it is the most awesome version of the 911 platform.

Beautiful ride there Cuda! I'm glad you got it all in one piece. Did you check the odometer to make sure the drivers didn't take it for a spin? :o :D I see you say it's lower, but after two days of driving, how would you compare the 991 driving characteristics to the 996? I know it's probably apples and oranges, but would be a great write up. When you think about, it's only 7 years between the two platforms.
