The PPI checked out fine. I'll probably still take it to my mechanic for a double check.... but right now, after a fresh wash and the evening sun casting glowing rays from the sun set.... this has to be one of the best designs Porsche has ever penned.

I don't know... I like the side markers orange with the blue car. Anymore, the pumpkins separate you from all the other switcheroo guys (inc. me) and looks nice and stock.

She looks great have fun. The interior must be awesome. I can't believe that people just don't drive the snot out of these things.

Yes 'the Porsche Guy' having 2 will be fun. Thank goodness for high ceilings and man's brilliant idea to create a lift. When it is all installed I'll take a pic for you.

The kids named the 951 'Red Racer'. I'll have to wait to see what they decide to call the new car.

I think the orange markers look just fine on my car, too. I've never quite understood the hatred for them.

Congrats on the new car. I don't know where you guys find these cars with mileage that low. When I bought mine there were none with under 50k on them. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, I thought my '02 had low miles at 27K when I bought it. Great find and start spinning that odometer.

I'll keep the pumpkin lights. I think they look good with the blue car.

Throttle - Yes, I'm starting to put the miles on it. This coming weekend I'm driving it down to the PCA Escape in Eureka Springs, AR. (a.k.a. Palooza). Lots of fine twisty roads in the rolling hills of Arkansas.
