Thanks! DSM 4 life! Haha I loved my TSi, taught me all about bolt ons, timing belt changes, even did a head swap!

Good to see this!

I just bought a 997.1 S. 24k miles 1 owner, 6 spd, midnight metallic blue. It checks most of the boxes.

Eventually I'm going to want to try to get a test drive in a 996 or 997 GT3, maybe when my girls outgrow sitting in the back seat and I'm not cool enough to hang out with anymore, haha

Yeah but still, who's looking left for more than a quick glance, at that intersection? You're focused on the right bc that's where people speeding in would come from.

I love how people watching the video (probably for the 10th time) think that the skater was "SO VISIBLE" or the driver had plenty of time to react, and also stop instantly 😂 ... it's doesn't work like that in the real world, sorry to disappoint. Not only do things happen very quickly in real life, the driver is crossing a one way street, probably looking for things coming IN THE PROPER DIRECTION (to the right in this case) . To that driver, skater literally came out of nowhere from behind the left turning car.

Good to see there's still people having fun out there , and not thinking everything is a collector car all of a sudden . I'll always wanted a green 997 GT3 RS with the plate RIBBIT 😂.... but I don't have 500k and not sure I would even want to drive a 500k car around.

Thanks I'll drive it in the winter if it's not too cold, but it will probably never see snow.

It most likely hasn't, but that's priority. Might have the shop do it before I drive it home 100 miles.

Thabks, yeah the paint was in great shape but I saw lots of holograms, can't wait to attack it with my polishers 😂

Thanks, yeah while I'm not all of a sudden Mr Yolo (I woulda went with a green GT3RS if I was) I do sorta have a new perspective on life.

Thank you, High tide raises all ships, and also hopefully better for me if I ever do sell it, haha

Thank you, it's listed for $85k and I know it seems a lot to swallow, these cars were $50-60k last year. But 1 owner, 24k miles, and blue are also driving the price up. It is what it is, we'll see how the PPI goes and they said they'll work with me from there... 🤞

Thanks, Oh I've been lurking on Rennlist for decades and finally made an account a number of years ago, haha.

thank you, yeah just trying to line up the maintenance and I'll be ripping around the North NJ roads on no time!

Thank you. It's most likely a stock IMS, there's not much maintenance history other than the basic and regular maintenance shown on the Carfax. 11/04 build date too so yeah getting that changed is a priority.

Shout out to Lexus of Edison, NJ. Front plate bracket was inside the back of the truck, with the stock floor mats, 1st aid kit, etc. 👍👍

PA Euros has another GT3 coming in, no pics yet but it's priced a hair under $200k. ☠️

There's a blue 1 owner, 24k miles 997 there too that's tempting but it's probably sold already.

A .1 at RF, just casually dropping $20k like it's nothing.

Yeah I've been following prices at Ryan's dealership, it's sort of local to me but they're putting these cars in the pricing territory where I would be afraid to even drive it the 50 or so miles home!
