The pelican one is positioned pretty far back and not very large in diameter or depth but works OK within its limitations.

Imo the two cup holder that fits in the back of the center console from Pelican looks decent but not sure how good that one is at this Link
Easy! There are clips behind the VW cup holder, and it slides right in the gap we have on the passenger side. If you look, it will make sense. Simple "clip" in and go!

There's gold on them there wheels.

Quite pale, but I think it works with the red. YMMV.

^^ Such a great colour combination and photo! And you even coordinated the tone of the gravel to work with the wheels!
Perfect stance with the 17" Sport Classic wheels.

Thanks - I've tried most OE wheels, but the 17s won as they are such a lightweight wheel.... and I always liked classic/spoked BBS on any car.

I selected every piece of gravel by hand.....

I finally have a solution for the rear window shade. I can't tell you how hard it's been getting something to fit and stay in place. Voila, using a Costco bought umbrella type sun shade, 2 per package, by golly, I've got something that works. Unless I'm missing something completely obvious, this might actually work. . You really don't need the foam extension, but it helps to push the umbrella flush with the window!

Wow! I think I would be embarrassed to use it. It is pretty cool though.

We took the 993 to the Cars and Cappuccino meet this morning at Hendrick Porsche over on the east side of Charlotte. Had a good turnout and saw some amazing vintage and new P-Cars (and a few odd Ferraris and Lambos) and yacked with a bunch of great folks. There was one other 993, an Adventurine Targa, nice car. Lots of 911's from 996 on up to the present, plus many early 911's. I didn't know there even is a GT4, but there it was, looked sweet, and a bunch of GT3's in various spots mixed in with other great P-cars in the outer lots. Donuts and coffee was top-notch also. Crunched the exhaust manifold on a parking bumper trying to be cool backing into a space. Got home to check for damage and just a scratch on bottom of each manifold (phew!). It was a good day!

This 3 ton foor jack is from Cotco about $139 + tax at my local Costco.

. It is heavy duty! I already have a floor jack but I got this today so I can work under my car as a back to my jack stands.
