George,
Congrats! I can't wait to see her at the next meet and greet since I missed her at your BBQ.

I had a Nissan (Z4 I think) try to keep up with me the other day... ha! ... There's nothing like a SC 993!

Wow! Beautiful re-finish/ updating. You certainly were patient, and it paid off.

Like others have asked - what's your impression of driving/ overall feelings regarding the F-car?

So the Lexus is the Home Depot slash dog car "beater"? I love it.

Where in NoVA? I'm guessing Great Falls or McLean. Former Potomac, MD brat here...

What are the offset and sizes on those wheels? You made me happy that I will be putting gold wheels on my car this weekend. Whatever color you car is, that's something to drool over. Maybe I missed it, but where are your engine pictures?

There were questions as to how the 360 Modena drives.... It is awesome, I have to say that it handles better than the 993. I think that is because it is a mid engine as opposed to the 993 rear mounted engine.

Here is a pix of the 993 engine (dirty) at the shop.

The wheels came with the car when I bought it. I don't know what the offsets are. The front are 8" x 18" and the rear are 10" x 18". These wheels are no longer made as Kinessis was bought by Lexani
