New Shot of My Car [cross-post]

G96-
Sweet shot. The color looks blue! I've read (maybe from a post of yours on 968.net?) that the Amazon Green takes on different hues. The clear lenses and non-painted centercaps really give it a clean look. Are those the stock 16" wheels? They look a bit larger and the profile on the tire seems lower than the standard 205/55, 225/50.
I also think this shot really show how much more aggressive the stance of the 24/44/68's versus the 911. (IMO)

Sweet car! makes me want to drive and drive...
(Gnashing of teeth in frustration)
I love that color, too. If/when I get my 951 repainted, that may be the color... depending on how "concours" I am feeling that day.

Thanks for all of the praise guys, I really appreciate it!!
Eric: When I went to the BMW dealership to drive a new M Roadster last week, the salesman said, 'Good afternoon, I see you pulled up in a Nissan.' I said, 'you're mistaken, sir, it's a Porsche that was manufactured until 1995,' and then he proceeded to tell me he's got poor eyesight. I drove the M, that's all I wanted.
Clem: The Amazon Green paint is VERY rich and deep. It almost always looks blue because the awesome finish reflects the sky, sort of like the ocean. The ocean is a greenish-brown but it looks beautiful and blue, similar effect with the Amazong Green paint. The 'clean' look is exactly what I was looking for [minimizing the number of colors on the car] so I've got the Green paint, light silver/white of the wheels and lenses, black of the tires, tint, rear spoiler. The tires are stock sizes but completely bald, so maybe those X/32nd's of an inch are making the tires look shorter.
Tabor: The car was disgustingly dirty!!! I had driven about 700 miles down to SFR, these pics were taken on the way back...there were at least 50 bugs splattered all over the front end and dust coating the car!! Paul is an excellent photographer, I don't know how he brought out the shine...I guess it's also due to the quality of the paint.
Thanks again guys!
