I wish I knew the codes...but here are some more pics. Or, as I like to call it "porsche ****"


Thank you all for the kind comments. I am so excited about the new car! I grew up underneath 356's (pics comming soon) and 914s and 66 911s....basically if it had a porsche crest I was able to view, even work on, but not have for my own!

A few quesitons & responses.

1. The orange side markers stay. HOT.
2. Painted seatback---not hot.
3. Painted lug bolts: good idea, but I shake too much when I get near the car! Someone has to have some stainless bolts around cheaper than ebay...eh?
4. List of upgrades: Send it! Currently looking to lighten the wallet (and the car) with a new battery, stiffer, lower suspension, spare rims & autox tires, and maybe a little motor massaging from jones autowerks which typically remains trade/proprietary secrets, simply tracked as "guaranteed to go x faster" next to a dollar amount by the owner...

5. In case of emergency does anyone know a reputable shop in Houston?

shade - check for a option code sticker under the trunk lid or on the inside front cover of your Maintenance manual.

The clear sides are Euro and it's a FACT that they look way better!

Seriously tho, I doubt you'll find one person anywhere on Renn or any other P board that like the pumpkins. but hey, it's your car....enjoy it!

lol...

Although with a few key mods, maybe a little tequila, that pumpkin might be a keeper.

1. Remove the braces (upgrade to a grill?)
2. lase corrective eye surgery
3. Perm.
4. More make-up

She (America Ferrera) is actually a nice looking young woman. Not glamorous, but attractive in a wholesome way.

+ 1 on that Tim. Never mind on the tequila or the make-up, unless we are talking about a scratch margarita.
