New 911 Pics

You guys got on me about the 911 needing lowering last July when I bought her... so, I got around to lowering it a few months ago and just yesterday shot these new and improved pics.

looking very good.
now you should point the bottoms of the porsche crests on your wheels to the tire valves. (for the deadly serious concours guys.)

This is in OT??

Nice car. Question: If you don't use a front license plate, why the one you have?

They were pointed downward (correctly) when it went to the shop for lowering... it came back like this.... I plan to correct it.

Posted in OT probably due to lack of sleep.
The front plate was on the car when I bought it and I sort of like it.

Thanks for the comments on the car..... I appreciate you guys. My former fiance and girlfriend of 4-years said today that we "need to spend some time apart."
I think a Facebook rat has invaded my happy home based on the comments I have read between her and this so-called "friend."
At least the car still needs me.

Woah, sorry to hear that.

The ride height looks great. Forget about which way the crests are pointed... that kind of obsessiveness is just wrong.

Now that I am Free at Last I will resume my passion of creating art involving the above mentioned topics...

That was something else I gave up for her... my art.

It's enough to kill a man.
