Two of my favorite Porsches in one garage. I'm a huge fan of the 993 C2S, especially in Arena Red.

What's all the cardboard for? To catch oil leaks from the 993?

haha. I noticed the cardboard first. I have a sheet under my 914. It's an extremely useful tool. Nice pics!

Great photos. I especially like the overhead shot--makes it really clear how much more the fenders of the new car are flared, and how much larger the windshield is.

Very nice! Isn't the 993 more like an Uncle? Is that a turbo or C4S? Beauties!

Great Uncle.....you're right.

The Boxster is a bigger/longer car.
