Default Sport Classic Table
Slightly off-topic, but it does have the Kills Bugs Fast poster in the background - snagged a 19" Sport Classic 997 rear wheel and had a glass top made, and turned it into a table for my garage (short table next to chair). Worked out great. Very cool in person!

That's brilliant. I have couple of 997 TT wheels that could be turned into tables.

Default Sad day/happy day
I have been struggling lately with whether to keep or sell my beloved GT3...at 9,500 miles it is do or die time. I have been advised by friends at Porsche to sell it since the RS is coming....so I was offered good $$ for it and also bought a '16 Boxster Spyder. What a car! I am so happy I did this. What fun!!! Really a treat, the Spyder. Pure driving enjoyment, incredible sound. Even my wife who can give a **** about this stuff said "wow, it is gorgeous" right before she jumped in for a drive, but I had not yet told her about the buckets, so she literally fell into them! She then got mad at me for not warning her...oh well
Here are some goodbye pics and some hello pics....

Scoops look great! I saw that on your 981 thread. Very cool modification!

The black has a sinister look.

Spyder is fantastic specially in black. Went in today and saw a red one for around $100K. I like the black better. My dealer is all sold out of Spyders. The GT3 won't be used when the RS arrives. Good luck.

It's awesome! The combination of RS/Spyder is what I am gearing for as well. Waiting patiently for the confirmation of my GT silver RS allocation

Congrats on the Spyder! Great pickup and addition to your garage. I've seen far fewer Spyders than even RS's on the street in SoCal.

The RS will be epic and I'm sure someone is going to luck into your perfectly spec'ed GT3.
