Needed a grill for tomorrow's game, off to lowes for a 4-burner kitchen aid on sale. Love this 911...

Brilliant.

You get a pic of the face of the guy who helped you load it?

Aerodynamically, that is classically called the "BRICK".

It does look too big to fit into your wife's SUV, nice job!

Must have raised your Porsche's center of gravity just ever so slightly around corners.

Not really. It's better than pulling a trailer with a 911.

Nice pun.

It was only a mile or two home...but yes the traffic circles made it fun.

For Hurdi... I used heavy moving blankets to protect her while loading and unloading. And to make amends she also received a quick detail and with the racks removed... slipped back under her stretch satin cover for the night.

Just love this car!

As much as I love my 911, I love my F150 FX4 EcoBoost Crewcab more when hauling cargo, shuttling motorcycles or bicycles, moving people or just plain old bad weather. While the C2 stays tucked away in the garage... Same reason I like C2's more than C4's. With easy/inexpensive ECU tuning, the 3.5L GTDI engine will also out accelerate my by 3.6L C2 at altitude. Curves, not so much. :-)
