There was alot of snow on the ground and when he was driving it home, he decided that it would be a good time to take it on a racetrack that he passed on his way. Well, after a lap or two, the car skidded and the rear of the car hit the retaining wall. He got out of the car and saw that the metal was pushed up against the rear tire. So he pull the metal away from the tire and went back on the track to do more laps. I guess that's one of the definitions of F--- you money.

Definitely good to be wealthy!

omegaSMP300 is infamous around these parts

I can't complain living in CA but I ordered my 911 intending to drive it rain or shine or snow (up in Tahoe). I think they look quite at home in the snow.

I believe yours is metallic black and mine is regular black. OT, but do you have more pics of your car, mine is still waiting for its boat in Emden, it will help pass the time

At this rate, my car might be shipped to my house when it arrives at the dealer, arrggh

Congratulations, one thing I've noticed about my basalt black ducktail is a subtle difference in shade from remainder of car. I think the metalic components are slightly different. Hopefully with your black this will not be the case. It's only noticeable in certain light but now I know its there. I have yet to bring it to the dealers attention but I just mention it so you can pay particular attention to this area at pickup. Thanks for asking about pictures. I have yet to take one I really like.
