That car makes my heart ache remembering all the opportunities I've had over the years to have The 911. Beautifully turned out, nearly every detail I could see was perfect.

I love blacked out horn grilles on a longhood 911.  That filler cap is inconvenient for nice paint, though.

You know, I always said that if I ever had a 1000+hp car, I'd paint it bright pink. That was a joke, years ago when I was driving my Cavalier.

I love old 911s

They go for ridiculous money

What that cost to have TRE build that must have been the annual budget of a small country

I could buy a newish one for that much cash

why don't I have enough money for both?

why don't I have enough money for either :(
