Thanks Jim, I appreciate that. Agreed, every day I get to drive my 996 is a good day for sure.

Jon – Love reading your blogs and all the replies. I recently got my hands on a ’99 911 Carrera 996. Growing up I loved VW bugs & they were always more affordable but now that I have a real job, I’m happy to race the freeways of Northern California in my 996. Thanks so much for the info on your blogs!
Best,
Jim

I just bought an 04 911 C4S cabriolet with a 6 speed. I cannot tell you how much I love this car. It had the electronic exhaust that you can switch from loud to quiet with the dual port SS exhaust tips. It sounds stupendous and goes like crazy! Only issue I have is getting it into third when it’s cold. Once it warms up though, it goes right in and I get thumbs up wherever I drive it. I’m not sure what all the fuss is about regarding the headlights (other than the boxter had these) as I love the look. I really love the wide ass on it, too! The car is soo much fun, it should be illegal and the power curve from 3,000 to 7,000 rpm is intoxicating. I’m always speeding in it cause I cannot control myself, lol!

Thank you for your article. I am purchasing my first Porsche this week, a 2003 996, and look forward to driving enjoyment.

I have an 01 C2. I actually love the headlights of my car :-) I kind of think that the cayman is the kind of car the 911 was morphing into before Stuttgart regressed away from their non-oval headlight 911. Given the initial lashing against the 996 and Porsches precarious financial position, the company quickly responded by changing the headlights (twice in a span of 5 yrs.) back to the original style.

I think that the Porsche could have continued its evolution. Im loving what the 2013 boxster lights look like … and in fact, i think im going to like the 2013 cayman more than the 2012 911 ….lets see …
