      A Swede, an Italian, and a German rolled into a bar... They were immigrants in America, diverse and unique, each from a different time and place. They parked 6 feet apart and cared about one another's state of tune, because that's what cool cars do. They ordered a few quarts of oil and realized that despite their differences in origin, design, and age that they were each better because the other was here, in this epicenter of upheaval. Some trucks don't embrace them, clearly unstable as they thunder by, side eye, more noise than power. "Not to worry", says the Swede from behind his dapper yellow mask, "for with our combination of strength, beauty, and endurance, we will outdrive the bastards."

        @RallyWrench this is excellent! Any more photos of that volvo(?)

        That 911 of yours continues to be such a rad vehicle

          Strength, beauty, endurance, so what does the Swedish car contribute? 😉

          I like this very much.

                The bartender said, "how'd you guys fit through the door?"

                Very cool though.

                  @spacekraken Thanks! I do have a few more, will try to post up. Super cool 142 with a rad owner who pedals hard. That's not my 911, it's a smokin' hot RS tribute that's actually nice. My car is... not nice. 😉

                      @rallywrench For sure! Thanks. And the "not nice" part is what makes it good-so many don't get driven it seems.

                      Someone near me has a fairly old one (not sure of year, but narrowbody) with some battle scars in bright orange with a double bike rack on the roof, seems like your car's twin.

                          @spacekraken I can't drive nice cars, they need to wear their scars proudly. Would love to see a pic of that orange one sometime, kindred spirit! Need to put the racks back on mine now that I can ride again.

                            @rallywrench cars with scars are good. I worry too much about mine cause it only has a few tiny scratches lol.

                            Sadly don't have any pics but if I see it again I'll make sure to let you know!
