Default Finally some pics

In response to many remarks over the past several months to the effect that "if there are no pics it never happened," here are a few pics of my two P cars. Given my sub-standard computer skills and my poorly organized photos scattered amongst both Picture Motion Browser and Kodak Easy Share, this was no small feat.
I think both vehicles nice examples, but neither is a total barn burner or a total show stopper.
The 08 Cab is close to perfect, having only 10,000 miles on it, and currently resides in my garage with my wife's X3.
The 95 C2, purchased from Richard Sloan a few months ago, is really nice for a 15 yo car but not concours by any means. The car has about 36,700 miles on it. I've recently had a Fabspeed exhaust, air intake, and chip installed professionally, as well as PSS10s, MO30 sways, and a strut tower brace. The side model decals were added a few days ago, and I'm now looking forward to some DE's. The mods have totally changed the character of the car and I'm liking it more and more all the time. The 997 is a better car in every way, yet every time I leave the house there's this inexplicable urge to hop in the 993.....

Two great looking cars. I like the script along the sides. I've been toying with adding it to my white 993. Where did you get them and is that silver on your 997? Looks like it matches your wheels which is what I would try to do on mine.

This is what it's all about. Nobody needs a 911 in all honesty. It's how it makes you feel that counts.

Thanks. My first intro to P cars was an eccentric neighbor in the early 70s with a kelly green metallic 911 and black Carrera decals. So in my mind, ever since, a proper 911 is pictured with these decals.
I believe the yellow decals for the 993 were purchased from Suncoast but I can't find a receipt.
The decals on the 997 are Aluminum look, from Porsche Tequipment. If you order them with the new car I think it's about an $800 option, but in ordering mine from the local dealer they were only a few hundred bucks.

...my poorly organized photos...Selo
I have quit worrying about how to organize mine. I just upload them into my hosting site (SmugMug) and set up most of the galleries under the month and year of the upload. Then, once in a while, I will move stuff into other "categories."

Enjoy your new 993.

I got my side scripts from this guy on Pelican. Look to be good quality and he has many happy customers. For $46 shipped they're a real steal.
Waiting to get some black 18" rims before I attach the decals. I'm 99% sure I'll put them on at some point.
