Goddamn, still love my 996

I pulled up a photo from last September's PCA Concours - it was held at Cancer Survivors Park, and I wanted to use the photo for World Cancer Day because I'm all into social causes if they require NO time or effort on my part. I'm a goddamn hero.

Anyway, this photo made me realize just how much I still love my 996...not in a "meh, I haven't found anything better" way, but much more a "I'm 16 again and just saw a girl in a really tight sweater on a cold California morning" kinda way.

Anyone who says the 996 is ugly: f**k you, and a plague of The Diabeetus upon your house for a thousand years.

Nice! Your exhaust tips look low...time for new motor mounts?

They look kinda sooty to me, also, so probably time for a rebuild. :o

You make a couple of good points here. Looks good in black.

The Evo2 is the best extreme summer tire I've found that I can afford to shred, although they can get greasy and will start chunking if you get them too hot...but I'm always on the lookout for my NEXT good tire I can afford to shred.

RE: tip height - the mounts are WEVO semi-solid; I moved my tips onto a set of Fister cans. They may not be perfect, but they're definitely not drooping.

RE: sooty tailpipes: zero f***s given. Will continue driving/maintaining as normal until one of us shits the bed.

No droopy tips there.
