Cabriolet Drivers Only

It said Cab drivers only, we know you are Coupe driver.....but it's OK, read on:

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.

WOW! Makes me want to take off my HARDTOP for a topless drive!!!

a turbo cab is seriously "having your cake and eating it too." I think I will always have my cab...if not a turbo cab would be perfect. You have to enjoy a Porsche top less...PERIOD.

certainly your 996TT cab is in great shape, Guards Red with Beige is simply hot... BUT...

why those wheels??? and the wing??? certainly diminishes the wow effect...

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...

You have GT2 front, TA sideskirts wich give a more purposeful stance and in black the wing blends somewhat better...

love the steering wheel...

iffy on the monochrome side creasts...
