Well the trip went great. I really appreciated having e3photo with me for the long drive. We logged 867 miles in a day and a half. The car looked better than I remembered. I think we made Starbucks stock rise a point with all the coffee we drank. Glad to be home in front of the TV. With all the rain today there were no opportunities to get Little Fart out in front of the lens. It rained all day and never quit. EVER!!! Anyway, the car did great, we are all home safe and all is well. The first thing I did was put on the PJ's and have Little Fart make me a dirty martini. He's already passed out. The little blue guy just can't do the liquor. Here are the only shots I took. It would have been more, but as you can see........ RAIN!!!!

What a great story. Looking forward to reading the updates.
Yes you will. I have missed the past 2 years. Not anymore. I bet I won't be invited back. Little Fart is a handful.

Maybe somebody could photoshop them (keep the silver on the lip)? We know how Mike likes to "make it his own".

Antlers were just the beginning. We have been asked not to participate in cornhole ever again.

Hey it's only 2 hours for me to the Southside of Chattanooga, and plenty of other 993 owners here as well. We should do this. Seriously

SMURFTACULAR!!!

Glad to see you've got her back home where she belongs. Good to see Little Fart still causing havoc too!

Now, as previously stated, I have a suggestion or two. I've always found that multiple sets of wheels and tires goes a long way to satisfying the need for change that sometimes results in selling a car we don't want to. Kind of like different shoes for different occasions......you wouldn't wear sandles with a Tuxedo would you?

So how about some matte black centres for those RUFs? That would complement the black interior and top quite nicely and really make the yellow calipers "pop" in betwenn the spokes.

Then, maybe a nice set of Speedlines? Completely different look but the bright lips work very well with the screaming-blue bodywork.

I could go on......
