Porsche Turbo one of the 10 sexiest cars of all time :)
Was just reading an article on MSN Autos that lists their 10 sexiest cars of all time. One of the 10 is the 911 Turbo with the following picture and quote:
The Porsche 911 family of sports cars is the grandest ever, and the Turbo is its wildest child. The first 911 Turbo was launched in 1974, in the wake of the first oil crisis. It is powered by a rear-mounted, turbocharged, air-cooled 3.0-liter flat-six engine that develops 260 horsepower. The Turbo became just as famous for its generously flared rear fenders and a large rear spoiler that was quickly nicknamed "whale tail." Engine displacement and horsepower grew over the years, culminating with the rare 1993 Turbo 3.6S, the last and most powerful of the rear-wheel drive Turbos, with its 3.6-liter 380-horsepower engine. The Turbo's notoriously tricky handling was mostly tamed with all-wheel drive in the 1995 Type 993. The newest 911 Turbo is both slick and fast, with its water-cooled 500-horsepower 3.8-liter engine.

I truly miss my 6GT3 like crazy but I have to admit, the 6Turbo is one sexy car. Maybe it's the wide ***. Maybe it's the lines. Maybe b/c it's a TURBO!

Bravo Sierra in my neck of the woods. Did a brisket two weeks ago. I was in the mood to smoke some pig.
Back on topic, the 993 Turbo is my favorite 911, but the 996TT is a close second. It doesn't have a bad angle, and the widebody... what's that song about Fat Bottomed Girls?

Sorry for going back OT but have you ever been to Rudy's in San Antonio? Actually Leon Springs on I-10 just past Dominion Country Club. Best ever!
And yes, the 993 is a sexy MF with a 996 a close second.

Sorry abot the "thread jack" but I'll be in Fredericksburg this weekend, with the Boxstoberfest crowd, will hit the Salt Lick Friday for lunch, if anybody wants to join us. Heard lots of good reviews, never been there myself.
