I like the Guards Red with the gray wheels!

I can take mine out too in this weather, but I usually find myself not doing it. Mainly b/c I want it to stay clean!

Very nice pics, I like that soft cloudy light on the red.

Sometimes I forget what beautiful cars they are, and it takes a certain light or view to remind me.

Thanks for the compliments ! Its hard to leave these cars in the garage for pretty days. I've started to change my ways and drive these cars the way Porsche intended.

I didn't get my 993 out very much and now that its gone , I regret not driving it more.

No, it stays at home, or very close to my office window at work.

Guards Red is timeless! Great shots and the 997 looks really good in GR.

kdurg, that's a sharp car in the rain.

There is definitely a time and place for a garage queen. I put 77 miles on my 1990 in 2011. Down from 90 miles the previous year. But, most of these cars should be driven and used. I babied my previous 2008 Boxster and regret not enjoying that car more before it got traded off on the 997. Someone got a lightly used Boxster that sat in the garage most of the time while I took the depreciation hit...

Looks like we're going to have a brown and green Christmas here in SE WI. It's been a LONG time since we have not had snow for Christmas and I'm loving every minute of the break from snow.

When I put snows on, I had painted the OEs Satin Gold. In the summer, I use HREs that are 20in Bronze.

Guards Red looks great in all light conditions in my opinion, but I'm a little biased!
