Thass booful, SY 997! I don't think I've seen a new 997 I didn't is beautiful. Especially now that I'm driving the heck out of my two-week-old cabrio.
Enjoy, enjoy!
Enjoy, enjoy!

Thank you all for the kind words and welcome.
I'm impressed that several people could tell the pics were taken on Skyline Boulevard. I drove up Page Mill Road (twisty with no bikes that afternoon), passed Alice's, stopped at the vista point near Thomas Fogarty Winery, stopped again at a turnout near Hwy 92 so I could get the Pacific in the background, then coasted down 92 in 3rd gear and kept perfect pace with the car in front. A pleasant "mountain road" break-in.
The wheels will be "fun" to keep clean. At least they won't be as tedious as the 72 spoke Dayton wire wheels on my Jag!!

BTW, I went on a hike a few weeks ago with a guy who works for the Mid-Peninsula Open Space Preserve, and he showed me "Methesula" - its an 1800 year old (!) redwood literally a few yards from the Skyline roadside. I've driven by it hundreds of times before and never noticed it. Not sure I could find it again, but its just a little south of Kings Mtn Road.
