I finally did it . . . US 129
Probably the hottest day of the year, but I finally slayed the Dragon.
It was a lot of fun. The cops were there with radar just across the state line, but my V1 warned me before I got into any trouble. You don't have to be more than 10 miles over to have plenty of fun here. I'm pretty sure I will go back when I have more time to explore the other roads. This was just a spur of the moment trip.
Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics. Fortunately for me the guys selling photos out there got some really good shots.

Invest is a nice DSLR camera, you don't need to be a photographer to make the pictures 'pop'. Cell phones never do any picture justice, especially with your nice looking C4S. That looks like a fun road, we have many around here and I go whenever I feel like a drive.
Here is what DSLR can do, and Microsoft's Picture Manager auto fix feature. I'm far from a photographer.

love those fuchs wheels- gotta do a better job with the v1 cord though! Eric at bumperplugs has a great device that attaches the v1 to the base of the self dimming mirror very custom and discreet

Awesome and I'm jealous!
If the dragon was in my back yard I would have to establish a tire fund, brake fund and I would be out there at least a couple of times a month! Not sure I could stay 10 over the limits though, depends on what is posted as the limit!
Great pictures and beautiful 911

Nice shots of yourself. I wonder how you did that.
My observation is; you have the painted lower rocker panels. But the 4 black filler pieces on the front and rear bumpers are not painted. I wonder how you get porsche to paint those also? Do they include it with the $500 painted rockers? Do they do it at all?Is that another $500 or what.

I have painted side skirts. To paint the rest of the black you would have to select paint lower rear panel and front apron trim, each an additional $475 according to the configurator. I would consider the front apron, but the back being black is a good thing, my car is a DD and the buildup there is terrible.
