Default It ain't easy being green...

Spring has sprung here in Alabama! I usually am not all that nice to my car. I wash him, but then I take a 2 hour drive or something. Well the other day I didn't have much planned and had him pretty cleaned up, so I said "Hey buddy, let's go out and take some pictures!". He seemed pretty up for it, so here's my little Adventurine pig with various backdrops.

Got pretty dusty in this and did some pretty significant off roading for a Porsche to get one of them.

Thanks guys! Recommend one for the calendar. Wait until you see my pics from Germany/Italy/Austria/Switzerland this summer, though (posted some from last summer as well)

BTW, AR is probably my favorite color for a "classy" 993 (same color category as Midnight and Aventurine). And Cactus, you have one of the sexiest Guard's cars I have ever seen. So, a couple of good guys to get compliments from...

now THAT is a good looking car. i really like the lack of bumperettes, debadge and MY02s. add all that up along with the color and it makes for a great looking 993.

Great stance (looks like my ride height ). And with one of my favorite wheels for our 993s. Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful 993. I really like that 2nd shot. (I like how things are starting to bloom in those shots........still no sign of it here).

Cheers.

Wow guys, My car may blush with all these accolades. There are more pics I didn't post.

Roche: Don't forget the painted engine grill

Edward: It's just below the -10 of ROW Sport height. I had it lower, but the steering was a little squirrelly.

Do these pics reflect at all how the colors change on this car? Aventurine is very dynamic (and contains no green!).

Here's another rear 3/4 shot of an aventurine pig (my mascot). Look up adventurine if you don't get it.

The silver calipers look great. I think I'm going to copy that idea.
