Really love this! The only part of a cab I really don't like are no roof rack mounts, hehe. Your baby is looking great!!!

Awesome!
Mine will also be outside, carry kids, battle all 4 seasons. I don't believe in garage queens either. If I'm paying this much, I'm using the damn thing.

Do you know about OptiCoat??? It's great for paint protection especially if you use the car the way you do.

I had always heard there were Porsche owners that let their cars get hot, wet, snowed, and shat on, but I never believed it until now.

Exactly! There are no other sports cars that I could drive and use year round in Minnesota.

Never bought into the concept of a "beater". Home Depot, Costco, driver ed, work, etc....I just need one car.

Full disclosure: I do keep mine in a garage.

Thx guys. Thought these pics might put a smile on some of your faces.

On the dog pee, this is in a pretty pedestrian area, so I wouldn't rule out a dog (or two) having lifted his leg on it.

As far as washing question, I think i have a Meguiars shampoo. Seems to work fine. I am gearing up for a spring waxing (I think its been since August...).

Riley, do you have a 997 at the moment? Hard to keep up with your garage...
