Worth a view. Nothing groundbreaking over existing reports about the 991 which should be revealed this fall.

reewrd is infamous around these parts
i've seen that car on my last two trips to germany, in stuttgart a couple of times (no surprise) and also on the 5 autobahn a few times. last year it passed me in a tunnel in stuttgart, the driver was on it and it sounded great, and from the way it was shifting, definitely a pdk car

i was next to two boxster mules a week ago on the 5 by the black forest, mentioned in the article at the end, the rear taillights while covered, looked ferrari like, they were round and seemed to protrude from the body. interesting design if it sticks....

you can see the boxster mule at the 1.24 mark, it's parked in front of the 911

The only giveaway that it wasn't Dallas was the lack of 2WD SUV's stranded on the side of the road!

Heck even with 4WD, a lot of Texans cannot handle traditional winter weather.

If it snows or there is freezing rain, your best bet is to stay off the roads in Texas!

It was colder in Texas then it was way up north. Now if you want to talk rain...we have almost everyone beat except for Australia!

I second that, my workplace (morons) decided to open last Friday at 11 am, after close to 100 accidents in a couple of hours. Almost no one showed up...

Interesting rear window in the 991, seems that the back seats might actually have room for people with legs...

Looks less like a 911 and more like a Panascara, you can keep it.
