Default Does My Bum look too Big?

I was struck by this side by side.
Camera distortion, angle, Cab vs Coupe?
How did it get so...big?

Def Cab vs Coupe thing. Cab rumps are certainly more bulbous.

Could also be a little 991 vs 992 thing.

That's the reason I am not too big of a fan of the cab...the rear hump.

It's funny how tastes vary... I love how the rear looks on the cabs.

I think lowering the car only accentuates it too

A man's wife once asked me if her pants made her look fat. He was honest and said "No. It's your *** that makes you look fat."

Take a photo from directly behind them; might be less pronounced. Also did the 991.2 touring have the wider hips from the 4S/GTS?

I really really wanted a cab but could not get past the looks no matter how I tried or rationalized that I will not see the car when I am in it and it looks OK with the top up.

I ordered the coupe which is the classic 911 look which I find gorgeous. I really enjoy sometimes just looking at my toy car. Looks matter to me.

I think the non sport design rear accentuates it's bulbous-ness; the SD breaks up that vast area of roundness in a way similar to 991. That said, baby got back! I'm an a$$ man, though, so it doesn't bother me. Love mine from every angle, top up or down.

Also, I like how your driveway guy has the concrete fading into the pavers. Am I seeing it right, or is there a clear line where they meet?

I guess cars follow their drivers path
our bums are getting bigger so the cars are following our lead
