I have a 94 Dodge 2500 pickup with twin turbos pushing big power. But it's too tall to get under the garage door and too long with the Road Armor on it to live in the garage. Need room for the tools anyway.

The sawdust, from many of the woods I use, is hazardous to ones health. So, each machine has sufficient dust collection.

I recently added the all red "sport" tail lights which seem to work nicely with the gray. Also, the thicker sports steering wheel. Major rip price wise but make the car more "mine".

When I bought it (had not driven a 911 since the early 80s--friend had a few of them) I was expecting the performance ( but not quite as across the board as it is) but was shocked at the comfort and fit for me. I was more comfy in the C2S on the ride home from the dealer than during the 4 years w/ my M-3 that preceeded it. I liked that BMW but I was alwats figgeting with it. Just never quite fit me.

I love it. thanks....

NO to the PSE, though I would love it. Too pricey to add after the fact.

Everything else is OEM. When I first saw the car it had "lobster forks". I had them switched off another Carrera and got them thrown in the deal. I really like the sport designs even if they take a bit longer to clean.

I recently had a chance to meet some P engineers at a preview of the Panamerica and gave them some teasing about their option prices..He just laughed and said--but you guys will pay it, right? So we will take your money. Guess that says it all.

You mean "garage?"

In mine I have two Lexus, four BMWs, Prius, two Mercedes, Audi, seven motorcyles, and four scooters.

I can take pics of em all if you want to verify I'm telling the truth.

Oh, by the way, I park in a public garage where about 60 cars park. Don't know if that's relevant to what's in my "garge."

Damn you guys have some hot cars!

My r56 is my daily, but in my (parent's) garage sits my 86 325es that's currently getting a 5-lug swap and then an e36 m3 engine this winter. Pics on the old wheels:
