Marty, we are going to miss Old Blue around here. I think my son is still shaking his head in disbelief from that ride the first day we met you!!!! That was a good day. Hope to see something new in the near future, best of luck.

Sorry and happy for you all in one. I am sure you will miss that fine machine. I hope you get into another one soon. of course you could wait for pdk and try the turbo with that.
On a side note, I passed by the porsche dealer to see if they still had the panamera turbo they got a few weeks ago, but it was gone. The sales guy told me that they cannot keep any 996tt's in stock, they disappear within a week of arriving.

Marty -
A bittersweet day for sure. Good to see the bluesmobile go to a good home.
I don't have anyone to run the Canadian highways with now. Very even cars and always a hoot.
We'll have to look at some 997's in the future. AtomicZ is a track car now and I'll need a street car.

[QUOTE=WOODTSTER;2565679]I actually do like that wagon, and I am VERY sad to see your 996 go!

I only had (2) issues happen in 15,000 miles of agressive driving;
1) Greddy Boost Controller went dead--just plain died:
I called Todd, he overnighted me a new one and gave me the settings so that I could plug it in and go have fun. EASY !
2) I had (1) boost leak when the custom intake blew off from the throttle
body and S-351 put it back on for me, re-tightened it and it never happened again.
Seriously, Iam sure sale was bitter-sweet.
I hope you are still planning to come to mile...
