Default Gratuitous post-storm car wash photo

After a week of torrential rain, it was finally sunny out in Los Angeles today. I washed my car and took this pic.

I never get tired of looking at the 993.

Very nice! I love looking at the curves on these beauties.

What type of tint did you put on your girl?

I like the red S on the emblem. I was debating of swapping mine with a red one but haven't done it because I was afraid it would look too flashy. Yours looks really nice however and it got me thinking again...

Why didn't you just wash it while it was raining? Wouldn't that be the environmentally friendly thing to do in Kalifornia?


Beautifully car BTW.

Oh, I thought it was simply a regular emblem painted red?!? Are you saying that you can buy these in red? That's news to me... I did not know that, but there's lots of stuff I guess I don't know about these cars.

I clean mine in the rain sometimes. It always makes my neighbors shake their heads. Nice pic!

Thanks for all the kind words!

The back looks better than the front, now that I hafta run a front plate here in CA. Ugh.

The red S was painted the same time I painted the engine grill body color. I figured the red would tie in nicely with the red rear reflector, and of course, the Big Red brakes.

Here's a shot of the front, also taken today. As I said, the front plate is just ugly

The original owner did the tint, so I have no idea...

Whenever I look at my car I keep wondering if I need to lower it further. Then I see a slammed 993 like yours and the answer is pretty obvious.

Beautiful, just beautiful.

Gorgeous car. The painted rear grille looks so good on these cars, really gives it a more modern yet still classic look. Talk amongst yourselves. ;-)
