2003 Porsche 911 (996) Turbo
Her name is Athena (goddess of heroic endeavor, companion of heroes) Picked up this dream car on 2006.12.04 with 15,435 miles on it after scouring the country for over a month for the perfect deal, features, options, color, price, miles, dealer, etc.
Ever since I was a kid, the Porsche has always held that special head-turning "oh my" quality, but it was always someone else driving it by, well...no more of that! :)
I figured I'd better pick this up sooner rather than later; can't have people saying it's a mid-life-crisis car.
Learn how to pronouce Porsche (POR-shuh) properly, and stand your ground against all the TV shows, radio, movies, and likely your friends who don't. On your next trip to Europe when renting a GT3-RS for Autobahn fun, you'll be happy you did.
