This little car has been a blast. 76 911s with a punchy 2.7, Thanks to Stephen Kaspar. Just a wonderful car.

What did you buy it from a "Cat" dealer? Looks like "Caterpillar" yellow. Don't get me wrong. I like it!

Looks great. Cool and dif color.
I like where you took the picture at. I drove out into a field last year and took a bunch of pics out in the middle of some flowers.

MUSSBERGER, You are a genius. I know I live in Mississippi and I may look like a confused redneck, but I now MUST get a "CAT" license plate for the porsche. My neighbor said the same thing about the car and he operates a CAT equipment rental franchise.

Thank you for the idea. I will post a picture in the same field with the CAT plate up front.

Yeee Haaaa . . . . .

Open the garage, and every day, a dilemma staring you in the face -- and you staring back with one h3ll of a grin!

I love it. Do feel free to update us with stories.

Re license plate, can you fit CATRPEELR?

Cheers,
Brent

Doc, you are right. How I do enjoy the two side-by-side.
The crazy thing is how completely different these two cars drive. The yellow car jumps off the line and will shread the tires down the block and into controlled "drifting" cornering, but needs attention and more time to slow down. The turbo just toodles off of the line, thinks about what it wants to do and then it's time for second gear at 50mph, cornering can be quicker, but not as firm (due to the cab) and as far as braking is concerned, you'll stop on a dime in a blink of an eye. Love those turbo brakes.
As far as the tag, only seven letters, how about CATAPLR ? My daughter says it looks like a bumble bee smiling.
