Default Finally Got Some Pictures!

My car is clean, the camera works, and the sun is sort of shining. Finally have all the pieces in place to present to Rennlist my baby that I'm so fond of. 86 951 100% stock (minus a cruise control unit) with 89K miles.

She's great!

Definately an asset to the marque. I wish I could put the tint back on my windows like yours, but just isn't possible here in the Communist....I mean, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Looks fantastic!! You are the only other person I have seen with the BBS 3 piece wheels in gold. They even look pretty good on a red car suprisingly. The flat black on the engine components looks fantastic!! Gives me ideas! Very nice car!!

Looks good! I really like the BBS wheels, wish I could find a set.

Looks like somone has removed the cruise control unit (if it had one) and your charcoal cannister etc.

Whoops. Nope, it's just dirty. Need to clean and polish it I guess.

Yikes!! I just noticed the kids in the first pic. If those aren't yours, I'd get the car back in the garage pronto! It may be too late as of this writing. Porsches are kid magnets. Ask me about the kid-inflicted door dent from a propelled shopping cart, or the rock chip from a kid flinging stones at my 944.

Nice! There is a car show on March 1st at The Avenues of East Cobb, you should try to stop by. It starts at 8:30am and ends at 11:00am.

That's a beautiful car! It's apparent you take pride and put effort into keeping it nice. I like the colors, wheels, engine, all of it!

It's getting harder and harder to find a nice clean stock 951. The value of such a car will undoubtedly only go up.

Thank you. I truly hope it does go up in value. I bought the car in the condition you see it back in Sept. for $10,250. My wife thought I was making a horrible irrational decision (it was the first car I saw on the first day I decided I wanted to by a 944 Turbo and I bought it 2 days later). But after owning it for 6 months and not seeing another car for sale close to the quality of this one for less than $15K, I think I did get a good deal. Despite my irrational approach to buying it.

But seriously, for $10,250 I could have had a 10 year old Camry or a 22 year old 944 Turbo in pristine condition. Um, can you say "no brainer"? I thought you could.
