Just one of the longer running jokes on the 993 board...

BTW, Did you know the factory put all the strongest motors in the Grand Prix White cars?

Yes, but the problem is where you open the holes so it catches all the oil leaks on the tray while maximizing air flow to the head valves and deosn't creates high speed unstability.

Make sure they're chrome plated so your undercarraige lights will
illuminate them.

C'mon cabrio.

We all know you resprayed your car so we would think it was fast.

Being from Georgia and all, we know you originally ordered it in General Lee Orange...

Ruf is now tuning the undertray holes. You can order any of a number of rap songs, soft rock classics or German polka tunes.

True, but in the first year, the cheap paint faded to orange in the Georgia Sun.

(when you took delivery, did Daisy go cruising with you?)

I agree, that was true, the lack of clear coat didn't help either with the sun, that's when I took the roof off and made it a Cab, the rebel flag was wearing off badly.

Did you say Daisy? ...how can I forget?. I would take Daisy everywhere. Daisy was the designated stick shifter, she did such a great job, I thought I was driving a tip.

But did you ever jump it more than 20 feet?

Must have been lots of practice...

I did, after I fitted it with MOMO Carbon Fiber Speed Racer steering wheel. Just pressed the "F"
