nice federalized 959 at the shop next door getting service. Such a beautiful car w/ gorgeous lines.

This one was Seal Gray (but it looked too dark for seal and not green enough for Slate gray).

What are they running now? About $1MM?

I didn't take pics because I didn't want to be THAT guy. Yeah, I had a camera phone. It had CA Dealer plates. LA Times owner's car?

Maybe I'll get lucky again when I pick up the car and it's still there tomorrow and will ask to take pics. Last time I was there, there was a RUF 73 RS in white and red trim. Another gorgeous car.

Well, had my suspension installed. Right now, it's on '4' on the front and '5' on the rears and it feels perfectly fine. Dare I say it's comfy? (PSS10) Bumps evened out and tracking nicely. 0 toe so turn in should be better as the rear will rotate more.

To the non-believers ;-)

This one is a 'touring' model that had the back seats, stereo, etc, but had the non-adjustable 'S' suspension installed. What beautiful lines. It looks a tad bit dated, but still it's so sweet.



btw, the lid behind the door on either side is where the oil goes. Fuel door is on the hood.

Not if you have a BlackBerry 8820.
