Thanks bro. I'm probably PMSing since I haven't driven my car in three weeks while I'm out of the country... I really miss that thing!

Stunning blue car, looks like a blue that was originally used on a 356?

Here are some pictures of my car looking slightly less 4x4. Taken by a roadside photog in the mountains at a really sharp turn while on a weekend get away with the family.

"Stance" and "Porsche" should never be used in the same sentence. Everything about Porsche was designed around racing.

Drop into Art Center, Center for Creative Studies, Royal College of Art, or any auto manufactures design studio and you will hear the word "Stance" used a good bit to describe the attitude of a car. I under stand that "Stance" has an urban dictionary meaning that is a bit extreme but it also goes the other way like this Nose-High Gasser http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/05/...nce-and-style/

Some members have amazing performance oriented stance, which is what Porsches should be centered around in my opinion. Aside from improving the aesthetics, it does make a difference in the handling of the car if set up properly.

Frank's Black Betty probably has one of the best functional setups I've seen on here.

Porsche's have always had a great racing stance.

But I also come from a stance scene, so I'm biased a bit.

I also come from a "stance" background. I have a stanced Passat as my daily driver. Looks great, drives well. I agree you can stance a 911 for more function over form but now days with the kids and their airbags, the word stance is used to describe how much fender is touching the tires sidewall. Looks wise, it is cool, but a 911 looks silly when stanced in my opinion. I guess I've seen a lot of what some guys do to cars to make them "stanced" To each his own I guess.

That's Lee's (gt two) old car. Build thread on PistonHeads and impact bumpers.

Some build indeed. He's just bought a 3.8 993 to replace it.

Stance, the lamest buzzword ever.
