PorscheCooled Owner Stories #60 – Josh 996.1 Porsche 911 C2 Aero

In today’s PorscheCooled Podcast Michael presents episode 60 of owner stories with Josh from Seattle in the U.S. Josh’s father is a big part of why he loves 911s. As a kid his father brought home a ’86 Guards Red 930 turbo. Josh remembers his first ride in this car and the day he realised ‘what a fast car was’. A very cool childhood memory that doesn’t end there. His dad slowly made the 930 Turbo into a track car. Josh recalls going to the PCA track days with him as a kid. A great introduction to Josh’s Porsche journey. His dad sold the 930 when Josh was 16. Following the 911 his dad bought a Mini Cooper S, a shared car with his dad which he drove to school. During college his first car was a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. After the Jeep Josh was carless for a few years but knew his next car had to be a Porsche. Originally thinking of a Boxster or 911, Josh’s lifestyle and budget at the time led him to a Cayenne. ‘Be patient and let the right car find you’ Josh said. Well, it did, and his first Porsche was a 2004 Cayenne Turbo. A car Josh loved but ended up selling after the air suspension gave way. So now what? Well, Josh always had a goal to own a 911. Finding the right one wasn’t so easy, and Josh almost gave up on it. Well, he didn’t and this year everything came together. Josh now owns his first 911, a 2000 996 Carrera 2 manual in ocean blue metallic with the factory Aerokit. A unique 911 and Josh couldn’t be happier.
