Default Some pics of my new toy

Well, I finally own a 968! I have wanted one since they were released. I flew into Denver last Wednesday and was so impressed with the car that I bought it right there on the spot. It has complete records, and is in outstanding mechanical, interior, and exterior condition. I am so excited! Being that I was a stone's throw from the Rocky Mountains, I just had to put my new toy through her paces on those awesome, windy roads, and I had to take in those beautiful vistas.. So, I drove west to Breckenridge, stopping by the Red Rocks Amphitheater, the Coors Brewery, and the Continental Divide en route. Next, I headed down to Colorado Springs, stopping by the Air Force Academy, Pikes Peak, and the Garden of the Gods. Then, I made the 1300 mile journey home, and fell more in love with the car with each passing mile. I post for you now some of the shots I took with my digital camera while on my trip.

Just minutes after buying her. When I first saw a 968 in Amazon Green Metallic several years ago, I knew I had to own one someday.

When you sell the S2 I want first dibs.

Amazon Green is gorgeous.
I'm very jealous now, I'm gonna go and sulk.

I just had to stop while driving up the Loveland Pass, going through the Continental Divide. Actually, I stopped about every 3 minutes, because it was so beautiful!

What is that on the top center of the windshield?
Congrats, that is one fine machine.
