^^^ Is that a photograph? It looks like an airbrush painting (would have never thought it was a photo).

Toy since Y2K... back burner since the 911 joined the stable but leaning back into it after the novelty of the 911 has worn. Just so fast and raw... vr6 with garret T04Z on megasquirt.





Daily driver since '03. Was to replace it with a new appliance vehicle but chose the 911 instead. 208k miles and ready for a third timing belt job now. Driven everywhere... up PCH/us1 from San Diego to Port Angeles partially on the beach during low tide and back to Vermont. Trusty.

Just sold this one. Shopping for something to replace it - maybe a Ducati 998 or 1098.

Yeah.. they've got nice lines. Always thought they were cool but ended up with BMW wagons. Although, a buddy and I co-own a really old 60's M-Benz Wagon. Its on the restoration/modification list.

Send me an email and I'll send you pics of the wheels.. they're straight with a few minor blemishes that were sanded out.

2 nights of 2-3 hours of sleep, drive from Boston to NY, set up a trade show booth, have to drive back to Boston because you forgot stuff, get 4 hours of sleep, start off for NY again at 4AM and 2 hours later, fall asleep.

All things considered, I'm very lucky. Just know when it's going rain.
Ok, I think I remember hearing of this.. I had not seen pics..You were lucky dude!! Get some sleep!
