928th on 928s - and shapely rears
Post #928 has arrived: to mention it is a bit crass - like singing 'happy birthday' to yourself; however, it only happens once and is a good opportunity to say that it has been a blast to join in on this forum and share the wealth of knowledge available - so thanks to all!!!
For the 928 content (and to avoid the OT abyss), I was reflecting on the sculpted lines of Porsche design. There is a harmony to the flow of the elements and lines that produce this enduring excellence of design: many aspects of this are better enjoyed in isolation - close up.
I very much like the rear design, so a good place to start - in part because it was so widely criticized initially, but(t) it has stood the test of time.
So, how do you 'see' your car - close up?

Very nice, Garth.... Oh, and happy 928th! 
This is my favorite close-up of my car, for the same reasons. I love the sculpted, flowing lines, the economy of form and what I consider timeless beauty. Also, I love the way that the wheels improved the stance of the car. This was right after I put them on:
This next pic is my favorite closeup taken on or near the car, but it's cropped so close that it's not really about the 928 anymore, but what the hey...
