Good mornkng All
Finally got myself back in a 911 after a 12 year absence.
Picked up a 2017 991.2 Carrera in GT silver yesterday.
Only found this site by searching for a solution to mount the rear license plate on the car. Someone has already gone “wild” with a drill on the rear bumeper cover!
Will post a picture when daylight hits.

Welcome Johnny and congrats on your return to the 911 world!!
I just put a pair of Tom's license mounts on my new '26 Carrera S that came in a couple of days ago. I was at the dealership when the car hauler arrived and put the new mounts on that afternoon while the car was getting PDI'd.
Please do post pics - as many as you want!

Name: Derek
Location: Brooklyn, NY (Red Hook)
Current fun cars: '68 Mustang Coup, '87 Porsche 944 NA.
Occupation: Research engineer
First Porsche: My current '87 944, always wanted a 944, it is the top car on my short list.
Was hooked on Porsche's when: Ever since I had an interest in cars and engineering, I have had a respect for Porsche. I appreciate the objectives and weirdness of their transaxle cars. I also owned a 1990 VW Vanagon, which I restored and drove 15,000 miles and xcounty(usa) twice. Owning the flat 4 and working on 80s/90s tech only fueled my desire for owning a Porsche. I took my 944 on a 1600 mile drive a few months after acquiring it and that was truly when I become hooked.

Even though you've already been posting for a couple of weeks, thought I'd give you a shout-out with a "welcome to Carpokes" message.
Nice car too! Glad you are part of the Carpokian family.

The zero rust is fantastic for an '81, but I guess a few issues are not unexpected. (44- years ago since built - time does indeed fly by.)
Welcome to Carpokes!

Welcome aboard. Love the original 924 cars. Great time to get one too -- eventually they will balloon up in value like virtually every other model Porsche has ever made.
