Nice shots, Bro where is the GT2 RS badge in the rear?
I mean i've been to germany and i was surprised that most porsche on the street doesn't not have badges in the rear (carrera, targa, turbo, gt2.. Etc.), any idea why?

It´s quite common here. showing off (badges, stickers, fancy colours, revving, loud exhausts etc.) is a no-no here and and most car guys/girls prefer the clean and understated looks. It´s almost common sense, a political statement to not show off in any sort of way here.
U will rarely find a 911 (even Turbos and GTs) with a badge on the rear or in a different colour than black, silver/gray. Even white is too offensive for most drivers.
Same goes for M5s, RS6s AMGs, which are dressed up like normal versions.
But apart from that we love (to drive) our cars.

i personally like white and other wicked colours, esp. on the GT models, but of course cars like this blacked out RS are totally awesome. i think people over here should start to risk a bit more. I guess we are still a bit too conservative in some areas which is a good but also a bad thing at times, cause it stops people from experimenting and being creative.

07turbo is infamous around these parts
nice

Great pics....loving the black wheels.

man, i'm so paranoid about parallel parking unless i have the first or last spot on the street, the one thing i noticed is how close the other cars are. Little bumper taps would **** me off .... i know parking is a lot tigher in Europe. When i was over there i was amazed how ppl got their cars into such tight spaces....though i didn't witness a few bumper taps.

I am half French,and while France may have the best built roads in the world..they unfortunately have the worse attitude towards drivers of luxury cars(jealousy,envy,suspicion...)
Having done tourist delivery twice, i can confirm that there is no other country like Germany for driving pleasure

I travel to germany quite often and am even more surprised not to see ANY Porsches at all let alone a GT2 RS...

All VW/Audi and BMW abound tho...
