I guess this is as good a reason to smoke a cigar...

I flew to Miami this morning and picked up this great car...1997 Artic Silver 993tt with 30K miles...

Got home around 3pm and straight for a car wash...and a cigar! Pics are terrible off my cell phone...but you get the gyst of the greatness that is the 993tt...

PS I was giddy driving back to Tampa...

Beautiful car. Congrats!

Damn Jon, I thought you were going to post some naked pics of Monica Lewinsky!!!!

I guess the Porsche is okay... Not quite sure if it compares to Monica though... I mean, she must have been pretty good in order for good ole' Bill to use a cigar on her!!!

And that 993 looks puny sitting next to that Suburban and the SL!!!

Nice car but come on now, one doesn't need any reason to kick back and enjoy a good stogie

I am enjoying one right now, maybe I'm celebrating your purchase with you

I just got back from some "spirited" driving with a good buddy of mine. He has a built 300zx with 500+ to the wheels...so it is more powerful than the 993tt but he was still giggling like a school kid in the 993. I am so glad to have made this choice in car...the physical interaction between driver and car was the main factor in getting this car. Not that it was fastest or coolest (it is to me though)...just that it is a classic design, the last of the air cooled 911 Porsches, and the fact it so pristine (inside and out).

Man...I am a blessed. I still have a smile on my face...and that is what its all about fellas.

Nothing like cruising down " Bayshore Blvd" I once worked Peds at Tampa General

Nothing better than the feeling of automotive nirvana. Congrats Jon, you now have one of my all time favorite cars.
