Nice! Another guards red cab here. How long did it take to find a building with 996 as its address?

as far as wheels get some TA's, Rinspeeds or mutli piece HRE's... the huge wing definitely has to GO and perhaps a TA wing would be a nice touch...

Someone here mentioned clear side markers, also a must for 30 bucks or what ever they are...

But otherwise stunning vehicle, enjoy... and sorry if I was brutally honest but I feel the car is hot for the accesories...
Yeah, those wheels gotta go. Tomorrow the UPS guy has my new rims. I appreciate your comments....thats why I like this board so much...everyone is brutally honest!lol

Well, it's December, ho-ho-ho. While most of the country is shoveling snow, I woke up this morning and put the top down and went for a drive up Pacific Coast Highway then back home on Mulholland Canyon Road (996 Cornell road). Passed only a handful of cars, and had the whole road to myself. It was one of those mornings where the sky, the ocean, and the canyons where just painted on the horizon, and having the top down really allowed me to take it all in.

Haha...went out for the same ride Sunday...PCH then through Topanga to Mulholland, absolutely gorgeous day. You cannot quite get the same feeling in a coupe. Sorry we did not cross paths...cudos on the sharp cab

Well, it was another great day in So. Cal (70 degrees). I cruised along PCH and had some fun with an F430, M6, Audi S4 and two Turbo P-cars.

Beautiful car Robert. Love the speed yellow. Here on the East Coast that color takes big cajones, and mine just 'aint big enough. For some reason East Coasters 'aint feelin' yellow cars.

I've got no data to support that statement, just my sense form living here my whole life. So, enjoy your beautful SoCal weather and your yellow TTS!

JIMQ: I'd LOVE to have two Pcars, one cab and one coupe, siting in my garage. Impossible for me to justify the expense, and, one additional minor detail-- the wife would kill me!

A few more of my lowered '04 996 (seal grey).

My Dad is from Brooklyn, and I grew up in Manhattan. I now live about 30 miles north of the City in Westchester county, but work in NYC so I'm in the City everyday. Great place, but not Pcar friendly. Rarely if ever take my car there.

I know the area well since the entire family resides in several of the boroughs. Are you near Younkers or New Rochelle?

Seattle is a great place to visit. I had several clients around the city and outskirts of town. I especially liked how in the summer time it was still light out at 9:30pm.

My first white mocha latte was a Seattle’s Best. That was a hard habit to break.
