Great story. But trust me, I use my cars the way they were intended. You will find neither Q-tips nor toothbrushes in my trunk!

I wanted a pristine 997 S to start with—not to end up with.

Beautiful car, good choice. My 996 is Seal Gray, it's really a great color on the 911.

That Shelby GT 350 looks very sweet!

But I'm very happy with my choice.
