Awesome pictures!

You know you only blanked your plate in one pic, right?

I was wondering about that also. Even if the second to last photo was retouched,
you can assemble the pieces from the other photos.

Those are nice pictures! But seeing the snow makes me shiver... Thank god I'm in sunny California!

Your rear bumper cover seems to have endured a few beatings over the course of its life, but nevertheless your car is beautiful. Love those turbo twist style wheels!

Just be extra careful with those high performance tires in the cold weather...

I recognize that driveway..... La Caille is a restaurant that copies the look of a French country chateau, right down to the serving wenches. The waitresses wear a uniform that could distract any mans eyes from those beautiful twists!!!!!!

Tony,

Holiday driveway photos are great, but I don' t think we would appreciate it as
much as photos of your car.

Yeah, beautiful car and gorgeous pix Ferris B, thanks!

And not to go OT too much here, but what's with the blanking out of license plates 'round here? I don't get it... don't we drive around all the time with them hanging out in public view?

Thanks for the comments. Yeah, I blanked the one, though it looked like crap and then didn't take the time on the rest.

Just being a little cautious... on one photo anyway.

Folding- yes it's LaCaille. I couldn't get a pic in front of the Chateau because they were having a wedding there. That place is beautiful. The food is just okay but the atmosphere can't be beat. I had dinner there last Sat and dropped $220 for two people. Only one bottle of wine in that mix. Great Irish coffee prepared tableside though.

Au revoir.

It's good to hear that Utah has some people who appreciate fine cars. I usually only see the nice ones in Park City. There may be more 928's in Utah than I figured. At least, in Utah, you mostly have to dodge jackrabbits and weaving Dodge Vans. In Idaho it's Elk, Moose, Bear, Deer....and worst of all...Logging trucks! Utah has some nice straight roads to open up the thottle on (e.g., heading to Wendover, heading South, etc.) In Idaho, you have only one straight run (heading for Snowville and the Utah Border...hoping you get there before your V1 talks to you. But in Idaho, we have some great "curvies".....with logging trucks hugging the wrong side occasionally. That's where the quick response of the 928 really comes in handy. But, it's almost impossible to get your hair to lay down flat for a few days after these kinds of encounters.

But...for open road 928 fun and beautiful scenery...try Montana. Or Canada on the way to Jasper is great too...but I'm not sure a Yankee would EVER get out of the country if caught speeding there.

Hey Harvey!

We have deer, elk and moose here too just not too many bears. It's the surburbans, excursions, and every other MAV (Morman Assault Vehicle) that cause us the most grief. A lot of them think it's their duty to drive slowly in the fast lane to "assist" us sinners/speeders in leading a better life. They know what's best for us don't cha' know? My heck! Gosh Darn it anyway!

The roads here are quite nice for 928's if you can avoid the constables. Some of them have no sense of humour at all. I recieved a ticket for parking 3" on the sidewalk in front of my shop on thanksgiving day, Garrity was ticketed for parking at an angle in front of the shop the same day. We have parked this way for 2 years every day in front of our business with no problems and we were the only 2 cars on the whole block. I guess he just didn't want to be working thanksgiving morning and decided he was going to take it out on anyone he saw. I normally stand up for officers of the law but this one was a bit of bullshi*!

BTW, we have some really great twisty roads too, enough to keep a smile on just about anyone's face regardless of how they like to drive. Big's GTS's fat red *** is fun to watch going through Provo canyon at speed while sitting on his tail. Hey Green Goblin, how did my wide white *** look going through the canyon? (I mean my car's.........) When are you setting up your first official drive? You and Ferris B. can take us to some of your favorite photo op locations for group shots. I'll provide the echo off of the rock walls.

Dave

Beautiful snaps of your car. What is the deal with the symmetrical buckling of the rear bumper?How did that happen?
