No, I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I don't own a camera (and haven't in at least a decade - I've never had a digital camera!). The camera on my iPhone is messed up - I dropped the phone and the only casualty was the camera lens.

If it checks out and I get it, I guess I'll pick up a camera, too.

I'll PM you the listing.

Paraphrased from a post in another thread:

I picked up a black 96 C2 (I actually prefer the narrow body) with 18" turbo twists and the OEM aerokit eight weeks ago. When it's clean, it's arresting. Hopefully my activities while driving it don't lead to anyone arresting me...

Since then I've put about 2700 miles on it - and my commute is only 3 miles roundtrip.. In addition to the daily commute, I've driven it over all the mountain roads north of Atlanta, on track at Road Atlanta, and to the IndyCar race at Barber in Birmingham. I've also had a full detail done with TS sponsor Whitlock - the car looked amazing; better than showroom I'm certain.

I've had an oil change done and diagnosed a few niggling CEL issues, but nothing major. I've added the OEM motorsound airbox, 3M Crystalline tint, and I have a bypass exhaust in the works. Over the summer I'll need new tires (going with Michelin Pilot Super Sports to replace the so-so all-seasons the car came with) and another oil change; I may also do a short shift kit, RS shift rod, RS motor mounts, and RS LWF / Clutch kit.

Thus far it's been fun and enjoyable; no tickets or accidents yet . The day to day demands of my job are soul-crushing (if I'm here until midnight I will have done 127 hours this week - waiting on comments right now), but I enjoy any opportunity to exercise the 993.

Need to find time to buy a camera; I'm a worse photographer than Jox, besides.

Avoid buying a 993 at all costs.



j/k. Just saw this thread. Sounds like you made a great choice buy picking up a 993. Be careful with the mods, they can be expensive and addicting.

IMHO, 993's look great on twists, but it seems 95%+ of them are riding on twists. A nice set of modular bbs-style wheels can make it look a bit "sportier" while still maintaining a classy look. Like this;

A step ahead of you; next bonus is hopefully a condo downpayment, a set of BBS E88 (polished, aluminum centers), and perhaps a time piece.
