PorscheCooled Owner Stories #69 - Matt 2006 997 Carrera S

In today’s PorscheCooled Podcast Michael presents episode 69 of owner stories with Matt from New York in the U.S. Matts first recollection of Porsche was the Dentist in his local town who had a 911. An iconic black 964 with a whale tail, a Porsche Matt admired and remembers well. Most of Matt’s cars before his Porsche were mainly hand me down cars from his parents. His first ‘real car’ (as Matt puts it) was a Nissan Maxima. A car that had some extra performance than his previous cars. Once he moved to New York Matt didn’t own a car for some years. Owning a car, let alone a Porsche in New York has its challenges, especially with parking and associated costs. Until Covid hit, Matt never had the need for a sports car. The Porsche 911 was going to be the means to escape and get out of the city. After using Turo to rent a Porsche 991 Matt was hooked and didn’t want to give it up. From that point on Matt knew he wanted a 911 and his search began. Initially wanting a Porsche 991 Matt decided upon something rawer. He found a fully optioned 2006 997 generation 911 Carrera S, manual 6 speed which was perfect. In the past year Matt has driven his first 911 over 20,000 miles.
