yeah, my work time often encroaches on my fun time too. too bad. dallas to montreal would have been an incredible drive!

i've been to toronto many times for work, but never made it up to montreal. it's definitely on my list of places to see. enjoy your beautiful car!

Hah, Mike Ferris. I remember him when I was looking at buying a Cayman S...he didn't believe I was actually in the market and never called me back...after 4 phone calls and an email. I ended up getting one 2 weeks later

Just my 2 cents, but few things I would consider on this car...

Looks like you might have clear side markers (can't tell), but a simple and inexpensive touch that cleans up the look of the car, most folks here do this... you can find them most anywhere online or at dealer.

A short-shift kit (either OEM or B&M) is a nice touch, shortens the throw, a bit more notchy/mechanical feel.

I am not a huge fan of the 993 Turbo-Look wheels... but, the Porsche OEM Sport Design 18" wheels (below) would look really nice, and period correct, could prob find reasonably priced used on eBay, or new from place like Wheel Enhancement (no affiliation, just nice Porsche wheel selection)... There are also some great Champion and HRE options that would work as well.



Also, consider an after-market exhaust system for some extra bite... I used to have the OEM Sport Exhaust system on my 996 C4S, and loved the sound. That OEM option is unlikely to be cost efficient, and many here can help advise on the numerous better/more affordable after-market options.
