> i saw cossy this weekend driving in schenectady. i was in a silver caviler coming home from the gym. i was going to beep but i knew u not only didnt know me, but the car wasnt anything that i drive day to day so i didnt. looks hot but…i dont think the wheels fit that car. hot wheels and im not sure what it is i just dont like them on ur 996.

They’re stock wheels for the 996 GT3, but with an offset for the TT. 18x8 up front, 18x11 rear. To most, they fit the car fine, I think they look better than the normal turbo ‘twists’ on the car stock. Different strokes for different folks.

The car really is an attention getter. One dude in a E34 (I think?) BMW 5-series with an out headlight pulled up next to me, gave me his life story about how he worked at Langan and drove an X50 996TT (450hp). When I told him that my car has about 100hp more than that, he said “SICK! And you have an out tailight.”  
I had my rear foglight on. :rofl

I also had some kids in a black SRT4 mess w/ me a little bit on Central. Just going back and forth, horsing around, nothing serious. The complimented the car, and their buddy was in the back seat taking pictures and/or video.
