Been a long time since I posted, but thought everyone here might enjoy a pic or two from a recent photo shoot of my garage.

 

us too!

our Stable

09 TT Cab completely bone stock 6 speed (20k miles) "new" to us last week
10 Pana Turbo my Daily Driver for the last 3 years
13 Range Rover Sport SC , her DD since new
67 Chevelle SS clone 427 6 speed Resto Hot rod ( mine)
56 Ford F100 Big window (only year made back then) Resto truck( hers)

 

Beautiful stables!

 

I thought the 997 would look a lot bigger than the 964, but it doesn't!

 

Love seeing pics like that!!

 

looks like you should have built a deeper garage

 

LOL, yeah, the cars only fit half way!

Nice rides!!!

 

Cool! All black though? Your full time job is obviously car detailing, so what side job/hobby permits 3 fine cars like that? ��

 

Enjoy in good health. It's the beauty of life.

 

LOL, while not like THOSE beauties, we also have 3 black vehicles in our family and I've become convinced 1 is more than plenty.

Congrats and enjoy!

 

Why all the hate for black vehicles I have only had 1 non-black car since 1997, and I just got "stuck" with that one.

This picture was taken this spring. I have since sold my Supra and IS300 sedan, but I still have my black IS300 wagon and black S6 that are not pictured. I will admit it is tough to get everyone cleaned up at the same time for family photos

 

I don't hate black cars at all. I actually LOVE black. However, unless I end up with enough money to pay someone ELSE to detail the car(s) every 2-3 days - which black cars require if they even get PARKED outside, let alone driven - then I have decided to go with lower maintenance colors. Even if they do get detailed all the time, the detailer needs to be extremely experienced and extremely diligent in order to detail them properly and not leave swirl marks. After my first black car, I told myself "never again." I ended up buying a black daily driver more recently (and the requisite cabinet full of car detailing products) just because it was a good deal, and it just reinforced my original conclusion. Not surprisingly, my current cars are all various shades of silver, which hide dust and swirl marks incredibly well. A friend aptly told me when referring to cars, "Black isn't a color. It's an occupation."

 

Yup, I love the look of black too but I basically wipe-down my TT before and sometimes also after each significant drive. It'll start looking dirty just sitting in the garage after a week or so. Back in 2014-15 when I drove it way more, I had a membership at a local high-end wash/detail shop for unlimited hand washes...

The other issue which is way more pronounced with dark-colored vehicles parked outside all the time, is they're big heat sinks. My big truck is also black and sits outside soaking up the SoCal sun while also having sucky A/C. I don't care much about keeping it clean like the nicer cars but still, the next truck will be white or silver...

 

Do yo uhave more pics of your 997 with those wheels ie side shot, angle side shot etc.?
