Default 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

Beautiful car. Love the Fuchs wheels. I've been to the Dragon twice and can't wait to get back again. It's a veritable roler coaster ride for cars.

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.
