Another "new" 911

I sold my old 911 in 2014. I raised money from the sale to pay for renovations on my then current house. I sold the house and bought a new one. I was able to save some money, and I bought another 911 midlife crisis car.

I looked at a lot of different cars in my price range. Duffy was adamant that the car have a back seat, so that eliminated Lotus Elises, Corvettes, Boxters, S2000's and quite a few other fun cars. In the end, I kept discarding cars cause the 911 was in my mind.

New car is a 2001 Lapis Blue, grey interior RWD 996. The IMS bearing has been replaced with a LN Engineering IMS Solution. The RMS was checked at the time, as was the clutch.

I purchased it last year around this time as a 50th birthday gift to myself.I drove out to West Virginia to pick the car up. I took Duffy and Teddy with me to the location. I think Teddy was more excited than I was to see the car. Some pictures below.

I've put a few thousand miles on the car since I bought it. I have done 3 Track Nights at PittRace, and a full season of Autocross with the SCCA. I won my class every event at my home region, but that was mainly due to there being no one else in AS. When I went to bigger events at Toledo or Pittsburgh, I was bottom of the AS class.

I'm enjoying this more, but that may be because I can drive it more. I'm less worried about rust, dings and other issues. Now that I have said that, I have jinxed myself.
