I've owned many of cars in my lifetime but I'm only going back just a few in chronological order statring from oldest to my recent car. Started the European car love with a 1986 XJ6 Jaguar but don't have digitals of it.
Notice the car tags for all?

1998 BMW Z3
First new car



1998 BMW M Roadster
Traded the Z3 for this used M Roadster





2003 Porsche Boxster
Traded it in after nine months and 15k miles. Great little car




2003 911/996 Porsche C4S
This is my present love and traded the Boxster and brought this brand new, best feeling in the world too.

Got to give ya credit there Bro, you seem to have "life in the fast lane" down pat.
I've only had one opportunity to drive a Turbo Carrera, an old one. I'm assuming they've got that turbo lag "issue" straightened out by now, that's a scairy thing to find out about in a corner.
That's a gorgeous car! and not the kind of car you want to cut some "amateur" (like me) loose with.
Is that one "all wheel drive"?

Thanks and yes it is AWD. Doesn't mean I can go mud bogging with it, though
Turbos have come a long way and it really shows in the new Porsche 997 Turbo. Those Porsche engineers are aliens from another world because some of the stuff they come up with is not human engineering

Thanks!
I learned how to drift in it but don't recommend it though. What year was your C4S? Miss it? Got pics? Got pics of your C4S, too?

It's very rare to find a girl who's a gearhead. And I mean that in the best sense possible. To guys, there is something awesome about a girl who is really into cars. Rock on.
