He needs to lose some weight...as in get rid of that annoying passenger's head that kept bobbling into the picture.

Darnit! Another Gulf-schemed car, and this one even has the same or similar wheels to mine

Don't feel bad, Dan. The world gets better with each Gulf-liveried Porsche that is added.

Incredible. I guess in some places helmets, point-bys, and driving instructors are for pansies.

What was really incredible, though, was that GTR blasting away up the hill!

They musta been racing for money, saw some blocking going on, and the GT split that black car and the e30, that was sweet (around the 2:44 min mark).

Yeah, I have a buttload of photos of gulf-schemed cars, trust me, I've been studying them for the last four years!

When I first settled on it for my color scheme was right after I saw a vintage 911 RS replica that won the Judge's Choice award at the Tweeks Fun Fest way back in 2005. At that point, I hadn't seen any road-going 924's or 944's in that scheme, so I thought it would be unique. So far, aside from #14 above, most of the 924 versions seem to be in Europe, so it'll still be fairly unique. I just gotta hurry up and finish the car! And I do have a few unannounced tricks up my sleeve that will definitely make the car different from any other toofah on the road...

The lack of helmets and crazy mix of cars was the tip-off.
