Talking Sumo HTR ZIII Great in the Snow!

Well, not really. I have a grade school friend in town visiting which forced me to take the p-car out of winter hibernation. Got out for 100 mile drive in the high country. I thought I would share some pics with the tribe.

Bob-- Suckered me in with your title but it was well worth it. Great photos, as always; especially the Guards Red contrast on the snow!

She was clean. Now I need to get her over to LARPY's to get the underside detailed up.

Bob your car looks stunningly clean as usual. Having brought the 95 home from the bodyshop in similar conditions, however, I know the task you have ahead of you. I can hear the wheel wells crying from here: "PLEASE clean us Bob, we were perfect yesterday!"

Don't think I'll be getting out for a drive myself.

Thanks Tim, It was worth it. Now I need to find some time to get her detailed up before she goes back into hibernation. I'll get some before and after shots for proof so LARPY can sleep at night

Bump. Why? Because I just went back to look at (again!) the pics of this beautiful, shiny red 993. The last pic in the first set, ***-shot pulling into garage, is why I love the "basic" NB 993 coupe so much. Absolutely stunning. I know, I'm sick.

The weather here has been beautiful for the past few days with minimal to no salt etc. on the road so with any luck the black 97 will be suckin back some chilly west-coast air tomorrow afternoon with me behind the wheel smiling like a fool.

Maybe Santa's planning to borrow your Guards Red sleigh while he's there.

If it makes you feel any better, think of all the cleaning I'll have to do after a drive this time of year. Which requires beverage consumption and possibly assistance by 993 owning/loving friends and neighbors.
