Default A Different Take

Don't know who's car this is. Saw it on my way home last night, here in NorCal. Took pictures through the windscreen. Definately a different take. This is a mod you would expect to see on a 951, but a vert? This guy obviously knew what he liked and was creative enough to see it through. The adaption was done with high quality craftsmanship. I like it very much. Well done!

spencang,

Yeah, I actually drove it to work last Friday. I rarely do this because whats the fun in sitting in bumper to bumper traffic? Not to mention, the risk of being nailed by some schmo on a cell phone, drinking a latte, while shaving.

I leave work at 2m on Fridays, so I was on my way home. My speed.......well if I wanted to get home faster, I would have driven my Prius and done 85mph in the commute lane. I was just enjoying my time in the 951, on a nice day. Now had I been on HWY 9 or 17 or 152........

The common mutated appendage found here in the silicon valley......a cell phone.

With your car, I totally understand. You also forgot to mention the police as factor for your beautiful red porsche.

I was on my way to LA, hence my speed in the plain white bimmer.

Where was that pic taken?

spencang,

I fear no ticket. I hold a PHD in traffic school.

The picture was taken on 101, south bound near Cottle Road exit, in South San Jose.

Looks like he's getting ready to take a cell phone pic of bill when he passes him.

That is funny! But I do not think anyone would be interested in taking a picture of me in my Prius. That is just boring.
