Default Sunday Drive before Christmas in Miami (Agate on Agate Pix)
Posting for the good people waiting on an order/shipment. Amazing color that changes with the lighting. Porsche publications don't do it justice. Must see it in-person. Enjoy.

I am continually impressed with how favorably the new shape catches my eye. I loved the 997 looks, but I like the 991 shape even more. It isn't just different to look 'new' but is a fine sculpture in its own right. This last shot of yours on Flickr would be right at home in an art museum:

Glad you liked the happy snaps. Awesome day down here. I dread coming back to the cold in DC metro. Will likely head to the beach on Christmas day. "Don't be hatin'."

Beautiful colour and the 991 wears it really well.

Great pics holminator! I love my agate too. It has some brown in it that gives a bronze tinge to it in the right light.
