Looks awesome!!!! Best color combo, IMHO... Thansk for sharing.

I did look into the rust protection issues with GT3s. It appears that only the 996 variant lacks the underbody protection, hence Porsche's 2 year rust protection for that particular car. Starting with the 997.1+, the GT3 is covered by Porsched full rust warranty...

The car is so obnoxious that you have to love it. I don't think I will play with mine in the snow though. Some butt head would hit it. Someone has nearly creamed my Escalade twice in the last couple of days.

Very nice shots. What kind of camera are you using?

Even if the GT3 did have rust proofing your mechanic would curse you the day he has to do an alignment or anything else.

Unless your car never sees any serious track use don't drive it in winter.

I love driving a rwd car with lsd in winter. That's what the M3 is for. DSC is off and I use the side window to see where I am going. Having other cars around is a PITA as they go too slow

Not that I am setting any speed records but I prefer rwd to awd most of the time. AWD makes it too easy to accelerate and to hang the *** end out you need to go much faster. Any mistake can be much more serious.

Thank you everyone for your comments, and I will surely be snapping more photos as the seasons and surroundings change.

Lighting was difficult that day so hopefully the next round of shots will turn out much nicer if the weather permits.

Currently I use a Nikon D300, and my lenses of choice that day were an AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Nikon lens (great lens BTW for the price), and a AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED Nikon macro.
