Found this forum through Excellence.
Long time lover of Porsche.
Wide range of interests…
Currently driving a restored restomod 356, a 964 and a 981 mostly purposed as a track car.

Looking forward to many interesting learning opportunities through this forum.

Hi Kyle! Welcome to Carpokes and thanks for posting some outstanding photos of your sweet 996! (The sunset and Fall road shots are triple wow!)

There are many different, varied and growing numbers of topics on Carpokes - browse around and contribute whenever you wish. Based on your rides and the pics it's easy to tell that you are a die-hard car guy, so a big thank-you for that if for nothing else!

I was not too familiar with Bride seats so I spent a minute briefly looking over their offerings - lots of options for many different needs and situations - impressive manufacturer helping fill a huge aftermarket need.

I didn't overlook your nice Porsche garage door banner with its prominent crest nor did I miss the off-road ready Element! Enjoy your rides!

Glad you found the site and thank you again for joining and sharing the pics!

Hey Scott - welcome to Carpokes and thanks for the shout out about finding Carpokes via Panorama!

Great lineup of Porsches in your stable - very nice! Post pictures if you can - Carpokes is a very picture friendly site. We luuuuv pics of cars!

Also, there is a large and growing number of posts covering many topics. Browse away. (The Carpokes search works amazingly well too if there is something specific your looking for)

Thanks again!

PS - great user name. It fits!

The quick story on the user name is that my wife was commenting on the number of Porsches that had accumulated in the garages. She asked another Porsche owner, “how many Porsches does a person need?”. He thought about it for a few seconds and replied, “Just one more.” I love that guy!

Welcome Scott! Tangerine is my all time favorite Porsche color -- love that 912! Sure wish Porsche would include it in their PTS program. I have a hard time believing it's not 'feasible' but that's what they told me last time I begged for it.

Thanks again Rob!

Hi all - I found this Forum through Panorama. I've been a Porsche owner since 1988. I'm on my second 911, and I traded my Panamera for a Taycan. I'm looking forward to interacting and good advice/heads-up.

Best to all,
Rich
