My Porsche pics, for no reason

I'm excited about my newly refinished red 8 & 9 X 16s. More attitude now, and it's made the car significantly faster. As a matter of fact, on one occasion, just putting the key in the ignition caused the car to peel out and fish-tail its way out of the parking lot. Absolute mayhem. So don't mess with us. The next step will be red "Carrera" script decals, at which time I'll also get a bigger stick to fight off the women.

Did you park that thing at the Safeway across from Bellevue Square today? Had lunch at Red Robin and going out I saw it.

Nice!

Camaro allignment? Are you talking about the ride height? I like to keep the back end jacked up to give me an even more commanding view of the road, and it also shows off my new treads. The chicks totally dig that.

I agree that red wheels are very fast (see pic)

But why stop with the Carrera stripes? - continue the theme as per Chuck's ride with red rockers, red front and rear bumpers...

I totally understand.

You should paint the sump yellow.

Great interior! Is it custom or stock?

What are your thoughts on Martini stripes?

The interior was custom-ordered from the factory, probably one of a kind (who the hell else would order this color scheme? Jack White? Santa Claus?). It shocked the crap out of me at first, but now I'm used to it.

Never big on Martini stripes.

Lose the whale tale and go with a duck. The red Carrera stripes would be most cool and should add at least 30 hp. Wish I had the guts to do this sort of stuff to my 86 - I'm still in the "factory stock" phase of Porsche ownership.

Don't like the hotrod ride height. Are you running Hoosiers?

It would be cool to find out who the original owner was. He probably has an interesting story behind him. It's definitely different, but the fact that the factory put it together like that is pretty cool.

If you're looking to impress the chicks even more, try armor-alling the treads on the tires. It makes them jet fockin black, looks hella sweet.

That has worked amazing for me. That and I put a plexiglass engine grille on so the girlies can see my red anodized cool collar!
