Hey all...

When I said that found a sweet car, I had no idea it would be like this. This thing is AS NEW. Unreal!!

To start off the trip, my bud Mark from Atlanta, and I flew to Albany, NY early Sat morning to pick it up. Waiting for us, was the previous owner. I must say, a very nice guy who was a pleasure to deal with from the start.

As we walked outside, there it was. Beautiful. Perfect. Not a single nick on her. I looked her over with as open minded as I could be, but I couldn't find anyhting. AWESOME.

We did the paperwork and I took delivery:



My friend and I took off westbound at around 12:00pm. We decided on a route that took us across NY, through PA, across OH and ended up in Indianapolis 12:30am Sunday. One long freakin day and into the night....

Weary travelers:



We did have a heart stopping incident. Late Sat, coming through Erie, PA., I was chatting it up with Mark and for second I looked away from the road. At that second, I suddenly noticed a large retread from a tractor-trailer lying dead in front of us!! SCHIT!!! - WHAM!!!

We immediately pulled over to look at the carnage. Thankfully, there was nothing but some skid marks on the mufflers and the front airdam. WHEW!! Talk about relieved. (Though, I have to admit, when I got it home I investigated further. The only thing damaged was the driver's side of the undertray. I will repair / replace this soon.)

Upon reaching Indy at 12:30, we grabbed a room from at a Fairfield Inn, slept for 4 hours and headed out around 5'ish am Sunday.



We got into St. Louis around 9:00am and cruised home. Unfortunately, the weather turned rainy and I could only get this pic when I put her in the garage.



All in all, a great trip that was long as hell, but completely worth it. I'll get some better pic s when I have cleaned her up. For now, I am now off to sleep.

Talk tomorrow...

cheers,
Chad

 

Did u run into the tire tread just after you turned your head for the camera? You're ham. Drive carefully

The car looks like it just came out of the mother's womb. Enjoy.

 

Nice car dude, I did the NY-KC haul several times....sucked everytime.

 

Nice car, congrats. How fast did you get her up to?

 

congrats on the car
you look like the guy from 15 minutes

anyway prepare to mod like crazy
this board's madness reaches even overseas!

 

IMHO what is a must.
Litronic (Xenon) lights
Three spoke steering wheel
and a little bit of carbon fiber in the interior.

Other than that it looks to me that you got a sweet 996.

 

Congrats for the new car!

Great pic at the garage!

 

Looks great! What is she an '01? What was your first impression of the ride? Mine was rough, but now I'm used to it.
I thought the Xenon lights bounced too much, is it true?

 

 

Chad, awesome tale of your first voyage in the new 911!

How did you post multiple pic's and descriptions within one window?

 

Congrats! Looks cool!

 

Chad, Congrats on the car, glad all is well after the incident.

 

congratulations on your new car! Enjoy it!

 

What did you have before?
