Awesome Joe, nicely done.

Is this the '74 Porsche orange color?

Like your hot rod by the way. I think I saw it at R gruppe a couple of years ago. Very nice.
I think I was parked next to it for a lot of the R Gruppe meet in Monterey with the dual parking lots. Too many great details on that car to count.

Maybe it got the curse from my car. I've also gone through more than one tub. In my case, though, it's always been the driver's fault.

The car is fine. Quite fine in fact. What you want to change is in your mind. Consider that this is not your old car, but a new chassis. Start referring to it as the 74 Carrera. That has a nice ring, doesn't it ?

Thanks for posting the pictures of your new Carrera. I love the toy shot.
Driving classes would probably help the last 3 guys that wrecked the car... In my case I was going 50MPH when a car pulled directly out in front of me. I smashed the throttel and avoided head on contact or Parked log truck... The 3.8 Varioram almost had enough pull to get me by him...If I would have been in 4th gear I would have made it....

I spent the last 2 days of dry weather driving the wheels off it... Ahhhhh, Just like I remember....

Wow great car, I love the IROCs. Those wheels alone are worth a small fortune if one can even find them.

Was this the car at one time? If so, I saw it at PIR a few years ago. It was beautiful then and even more beautiful now.

That's one mean looking beast. I love it. It's killing me to know what's in that big box in your garage... Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back.

Scooters in the boxes... I opened a couple of scooter stores last year... Sold 168 scooters in 4 months... Winter has taken it's toll...Summer right around the corner..

Anyone need a good scooter, I have the best. SYM was the only scooter to make it accross the country in the Gumball... I have over 100 of them... No China crap, the good stuff.... I will make you a great deal...They work great in the race trailer, and if your tow car breaks down you can drive it home...
