We have highway 930 running thru here. Been wanting to see Pennsylvania Route 993 so I could snap a picture but haven't made it out that way.

Saw this sign on my way into work.

I was distracted by the type of the car they used in the sign, odd choice for this kind of billboard.

^^ I love using the 993 block when I do my cross sections, I once exploded one and lowered it, drew in wider wheels, bigger exhaust ect. I was lol'ing in the meeting when they showed the drawing and I could see my tricked out 993.

Everytime I fill up at one of those, I get a chuckle at the fuel fill in the back.

So, for really boring reasons that aren't worth going into here, I am back into a fleet vehicle as my (day job) daily driver.

It gets dropped off last Friday and... well... destiny
Only bummer is that California plates are on the way

so, I searched and didn't see a thread like this and thought I'd start one.

I've driven by this sign a few times and took the time to snap a pic yesterday.
This is at one of those coin-op, do it yourself car wash things in Mtn View, Ca...
I think its a sign to get back your black TT Turbo

I know this isn't exactly what you meant, but this is the kind of Porsche sign I like to see . . .
