Some guys are just TOO lucky dammit!
Of course, I guess you deserve a little luck, considering your situation w/trying to get parts you've paid for... Did you ever get that straightened out or anything? IIRC, it was somewhere in SC- can't be more than ~8-10hrs away from me- maybe we CAN get a little neck-tie party together

Hehe!
Take a look under "Prev. Porsches" under "Gustaf's" in the menu of my website (link in footer) for more pictures of the 968!Still haven't got my parts
But hopefully a Rennlister, Jason - username jason952, will stop by his house and during a PCA meeting closeby in the near future!Any Rennlisters visiting the PCA meeting should join him!

BTW- is "Nautic Metallic" a rare color?
This one is on the Nürburgring (shortly before the rubber donut on the clutch went, had to be towed from the ring, pretty embarrassing)

Anyway, I never was never really impressed at ALL w/944's in general- one day I was driving up a local highway- had stopped at a light & was accelrating from it when it runed green- I had just gone to 2nd (my 1st Gen integra 89) & saw a dark green 944 turning onto the highway from my right- he was going my direction & as I moved to the left lane to give him a full right lane, I noticed that he was giving it a little gas- I was JUST about to shift & went ahead & floored it, to wind out 2nd- I was in the perfect zone- I was almost to 4000rpms (where the power starts in the Acura) & as I passed him, my car was winding out hard- he went ahead & floored it & all of the sudden, he was slightly ahead of me & I saw the car squat majorly as he grabbed the next gear- it was then that I noticed, through the dust & grime (the car was dirty & it was dusk) the little word on the right rear fender- "Turbo"
I saw the car around a few times & I really liked it a LOT! It was beautiful when it was clean, etc- Duke's car is identical to it- not sure the year, but, that was 89 I think, so, the car couldn't have been more than ~3yrs old... That's always in the back of my mind whenever I see Duke's car- I would love to have a few more pics of it too... I THINK I got the pic of the blue cab the same time as I first got a copy of Duke's. He had just posted a few pics of his car as it had just been painted IIRC. ALSO- the crhome wheels- I'm pretty sure they are factory- my Turbo S wheels are identical- I had them refinished & that is how they came out- I've also seen a slightly off-color looking finish- not sure what is supposed to be stock, but, they COULD have varied it slightly- I'm just hoping my Cup 2's look good when I get them- I just bought some from Tony Garcia. IF I have to have them refinished, I'm not sure what I'll be doing IF there's an optional finish- my car is Zermatt Silver- any opinions on what I should do, based on my car's color?

Not sure what shade of red this is, but, I REALLY like it- in certain lights it looks REALLY cool- in other's it's a hair purple-ish, but... BTW- S2- yeah, you're right, that paint really DOES look pretty bad- I can't believe you'd let it get that dirty & dull- I'd be embarrased to ride around in something like that... 
You know, I'll tell you what- it looks SO BAD, that you should probably jsut go ahead & SELL it- I'll be a nice guy & give you $1K for it & do my best to bring it back up to an acceptable level...
