Then I'd check into a hotel/motel in Flag and sleep and sit in a pool tomorrow and drive again on Weds eve...rinse & repeat...

PS 120F is nasty so be safe, and seriously, take advantage of the nearly full moon...

PSS I hope that you have ventilated seats!(?)
No ventilated seats, one of things I miss most from my Lexus. Oil temp got to 225 but not higher, I was commuting which didn't allow for that spirited of a drive. I was in the gym just over 90 minutes that day (roughly 3:30 pm - 5pm) and when I started the car up leaving the gym, the oil was slightly over 175 after sitting for 90 min. Fun times.

Love all the 997 pics!

Thanks! The white letters come from a company called http://tredwear.com/. I am inspired by Nakai-san and RWB with the Idlers imprint on their tires. The white lettering also makes a nice contrast to the black on black theme.

I checked out the website but I'm confused which package you went with for the lettering?

Always liked Atlas Gray! Great choice and the C4 wide body is just gorgeous. Congrats!

Thanks! The cloudy day hides the color highlights. It's the ol' LB64 Seal Grey Color. Atlas is much darker blue-ish Grey and Meteor Grey is similar to mine but with a touch of brown. All of those colors are some of my favorites. Seal Grey has more blue in the highlights.

What is is about this 911 that makes it look (in my opinion) so much better than most others? Is it lowered? Bigger wheels, front lip? Just a great photo?

Ride height, lip and wheel offset.
