Since selling my Evo IX last November, I have gone through a bit of sellers regret. Probably because I went to possibly one of the slowest vehicles made, an H2. Anyways, after a short stint driving the short bus around (it was a yellow H2), I’ve traded it in for an 04 Porsche 911. Thanks to Justin for getting a hold of me about it, and working out the deal. I may have finally found something to help take away some of the pain from getting rid of the Evo. Oh, and since we are moving to Alabama this summer, this will probably be my daily year round. Not some garage queen. ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c249/mdwilcox/Porsche/DSCN0490.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c249/mdwilcox/Porsche/DSCN0490.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c249/mdwilcox/Porsche/DSCN0491.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c249/mdwilcox/Porsche/DSCN0491.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c249/mdwilcox/Porsche/DSCN0493.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c249/mdwilcox/Porsche/DSCN0493.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c249/mdwilcox/Porsche/DSCN0494.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c249/mdwilcox/Porsche/DSCN0494.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c249/mdwilcox/Porsche/DSCN0496.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c249/mdwilcox/Porsche/DSCN0496.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c249/mdwilcox/Porsche/DSCN0495.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c249/mdwilcox/Porsche/DSCN0495.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c249/mdwilcox/Porsche/DSCN0492.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c249/mdwilcox/Porsche/DSCN0492.jpg) ---

Gorgeous car… The only thing I don’t like is it seems very plain with the inside/outside being the same color… If the interior was black, then we’d be talkin :excited None the less a very nice car! ---

No worries everyone (who doesn’t care for it). I’m not the type to get bent out of shape because someone doesn’t like my car. I respect everyone’s opinion. I know that the color scheme is a little bland, but it suits me perfectly. I am not a flashy kind of guy. My evo was pretty bland cosmetic wise, too. Stock appearance with the exception of the shorty antenna and window tint (didn’t get done till all the engine mods were done 2yrs after I bought it). Regardless I think we all have to agree that it’s better than the Hummer H2 no matter what model or color. > [@How pissed would you be if....](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/how-pissed-would-you-be-if/17146/10): > > looks awesome to me.

The 04 996’s are great drivers cars for sure. What is the first mod going to be? 🙂 Justin, I can’t think you enough for working out such a great deal for me. I still can’t believe how close I was to getting that 03 with 2x as many miles for only $2k less. I owe ya one for this. Hmm, I’m not sure about first mod. I have thought about a few things already, but I think I am gonna take it easy for awhile and get to know the car. I will probably get the windows tinted though. Actually my first mod was to remove the front license plate holder. I found some color matched plugs in the glove compartment, but there was some metal threaded pieces in the holes that the license plate holder bolts screwed into. I can’t figure out how to get them out without taking the front bumper off. > [@On another topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/17150/24): > > Looks great Mike!
