Really, really nice. Love the color. Trailering a beautiful car is the same as trailering a hot boat - lots of looks! How did the loading process go in terms of clearances? Steve

Steve, everything was perfect, just put the ramps down and drive the car up

You better check to see if it has any oil in it. Sucker looks dry. Are you sure it's a 911?

Ed, I'm changing the transmission oil and I seem to find the right size of the hex bit for the bolt to empty oil, does anyone know the size I need ? TIA

Should be a 17mm Allen. Open the fill nut first, before you drain...just to be sure you can get it off to refill, before it is empty. Be careful that the plug is clean, and that you have a good bite on it. You don't want to strip it!

As Ed said and properly torque it back in place....18 ft lbs. these are often over torqued and that leads to stripping when changing the oil .
Looks like a great car, excellent finish and color.

Beautiful color, I'll bet it looks even better in person. I don't recall seeing a rear wiper on many 3.2 targas...rare option?
