Default How's this for a "family portrait"?

Thought I'd post a pic a came across while going through some old photos. At the time this pic was taken, all of these cars were owned by family members (father, mother, brother-in-law, and my old boxster s and my current 996). My parents' neighbors probably thought we were on crack! My dad has since replaced his 02 cab with the red 997 targa 4s. Sorry about the crapy photos. The rear view on the c4s is just crazy. It's pretty decked out with full leather, sport chrono plus, turbo wheels, etc... Car only has 1200 miles so we haven't really opened her up yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

Nice, love the Targa 4S.

You must have some ginormous ants in Arizona, that's a serious ant hill in that first picture.

Thanks for the props guys. Yes, the ants are huge (never quite understood why the parents haven't ditched the red rock mountain in the front yard!). Zicoramone...photoshop away!

No kidding...this cracks me up. My family is nuts about these cars, yet not a single person as ever owned an air-cooled porsche. Nothing against air-cooled cars, its just that the later cars are so good. My dad and I have been thinking about taking on a pre-74 911 project as some point. that would be fun.

I don't think your neighbors would say you were on crack, but selling it possibly!!

Nice photo! Beautiful Cars!

Hey Gota911, how's the VHT caliper paint holding up on the rotor hats? I'm considering doing this but want to know if it will stand up to the high rotor temps.
