That sounds right. Sure is a lot of car for the money at that price.

I just snapped that one when the car was parked at the top of our frontage. I wanted to stop for a few more pictures, but my wife wasn't too keen on pulling over so I could click pics of my car. There is a cool race mural in the town of Watkins Glenn and I really wanted to park under it, but I didn't get the chance. Maybe next time.

Its a great touring car. We did 600 miles in 3 days (260 each way + 40 miles tooling around on Saturday). The long part of the road trip wasn't fatiguing at all. With the top up it is quite quiet. Interesting tidbit: the 991 convertible is actually a 3 piece magnesium folding hard top covered in fabric... who knew?

Saturday was a blast, perfect top down weather, we zipped between Watkins Glenn and around our lake. Had stupid sing a long music playing, giggling like little kids.

It is filthy now, covered in dead bugs and layer upon layer of tree pollen.

The whole Finger Lakes area is such a great road trip place. Nice to know the mural still exists in downtown WG.

Finally out of storage....

Need to change the fluids, install upgraded turbo oil return lines so it stops oiling the turbos when it sits (bizarre 993TT feature), and get it registered.
