Default 996 in the wild - photos of our cars where they belong, on the road

(If there is another pre-existing thread with this theme, please let me know and I'll just post there. I've read back through many years and don't remember seeing such a photo post theme, though plenty of "slammed cars" or "18inch rims" which skews the photos differently)

There's been lots of recent chatter about how too many 996 owners (and P-cars in general) are "owners" and not "enthusiasts" a subset of which I like most, "drivers."

I firmly believe these works of mechanical rolling art were meant to be driven.

Let's see some pictures celebrating our beloved 996's (and P-cars in general) on the road!

Multiple settings with the same car welcome, the idea is all about DRIVING our cars!

Default Wow!

Wow! Your pictures are so nice, I'll have to up my game!

Thanks for your support of this thread; sometimes, there's so much damned gloom and doom about the 996 that it is easy for noobs to get the wrong idea and get scared off.

This thread celebrates the great driving cars these 996's are!

YaHOOOOO!!!!

Time travellers


ready? set? DRIVE!


Crossroads - back to the future?
