Default Riviera Blue 993 cab finds a new home
Hey all ... wanted to share with you a "new to us" '95 Riviera Blue 993 cab that found itself a new home with my wife here in Cal from its old digs in Boston.

We've been working on this deal for a while now ... and the car finally arrived here in Woodland Hills on Saturday morning, 2/10/07.

Here's some more pics ... after I mounted some 18" MY'02 Carrera 5-spoke wheels.

Nice Scott, and already going down the Slippery Slope! Did you do the front bar upgrade to support the 18" wheels?

That color is much more California than Boston. You did the right thing bringing it out west.

Nice find. Incredible what difference the wheels make. Looks stock and judging by your car, I can only assume you're gonna be fairly busy. Have fun.

It's on order from Sunset ... won't be driving it too much until then ... just couldn't resist getting the wheels on.

Sweet car Scott. Congrats on the great find of a car and a wife that obviously gets the pcar obsession we all suffer from and now shares.

Oh man, I just love that color! Scott, can you tell me about how much it cost to ship and which trucking outfit you used? Thanks a lot.

Looks great! Interesting to see 16" wheels...not valuable but rare.

The 18s look great on the car. Is that your other car under the cover?

Enjoy!

Very nice Scott. The one with your Wife behind the wheel is the best. Hey, I guess women can have that **** eating grin too?

Still have the 7? My Wife loves hers.
