Default Nice day for a drive...Pics

I finally had some time to take the car out today. Weather was great and i took it out for 2H after not driving it for 2 weeks.
Drove great as usual and i even saw a white 951!
Pulled over and had a chat with him, really nice guy. He bought it 3 years ago for $4000 and spent $6000 to get it up and running, it had 65K when he bought it and now has 130K. I didn't have the camera with me so i missed the pics of his car.
Its funny how people with these cars just start talking to complete strangers just because we have the same brand car.
My ownership so far has been great and half of it is because the people you meet. Anyway heres the pics.

Antonio

I'm afraid I must disagree. The tint compliments the car nicely.
Thanks for the pics, she's gorgeous.

Looks great! I haven't made a drive like that for a while, my car turns strictly into nervous transportation while I'm at school...too afraid something will break. My car broke down the morning after I moved back home last year.

WOW. Your car looks really really good in those pictures! It's those kinda pictures that really drive it home why the 944 is and always will be my dream car!

Ok, that first pic, and i believe the fifth... Its the two full side shots by the broken glass.

Do you have those in hi-res (or staight from the camera and unedited?) I would REALLY REALLY like to have copies of those two. I want to make a backgorund for my system but ide love to use the hi-res instead of web compressed graphics.

I personally like tint if its tasteful and not too dark. What i like even more is factory smoked glass. I don't car ehow dark you go with that! I think it adds character, as long as its tasteful. And if you use metallic tint, it really helps keep the car cool inside!

Very sweet! I gotta say the 17" Cup II rims are my absolute favorite look for these cars! Do they really make the ride more noisy and harsh, compared to 16" rims??
