rg's "Stable"

I was bored enough to wash all my cars on Sunday, and take some photos.

All are mine, except the Volvo. It's half mine, half my fathers. My mothers Cadillac STS wasn't home at the time.

Enjoy

Oh that Porsche is sexy, I love those cars! Just have to watch that tail.

I know someone with a 67 he restored himself, cool car kind of like a go cart.

I'm sure the porche is nice and all, but are those cup holders in your 300D??? I wish I had some stinkin' cupholders in my SD.

Nice! Dump the Chevy and the "Very Odd Looking Vehicular Object" and you will be good to go!

Yea, put the Daewoo/Chevy thingy on the street for the next shoot. Just kidding, my sis has one and although they look like toasters, seem reliable, as far as go-karts go. Photos of just the Porsche and 300 would be sweet. I can't recall the last time I would have had enough time to wash/detail/photgraph 4 cars. Oh, I was 19. They all look great, by the way!

I knew I was going to get knocked for the Chevy. I bought it as a winter vehicle, and I'm only paying $200 a month for a new vehicle. It's a damn good car.

Now to answer a few questions.

Yes, those are cupholders, made from Zebrano. A member here was selling them a year or so ago. He has sense moved to college life and no longer builds them unfortunately.

The LCD is an XM receiver. Under it I cut the slots out of the ashtray and lined it with felt to slide an ipod into. The XM antenna, and aux line in cables curl up and the ashtray can be closed to look completely stock. I do compete at shows after all.

Looking great Adam.

Now where is all that damage I heard you talk about to the D? Already fixed or not noticeable?

Man, I haven't seen a 912 that nice in a long time! I had one back in the mid '80s, four webers and 60mm Mahle jugs/pistons made it move a little more like a 911 with the little 356 engine, sure handled nice.

I agree however, a photo of the M-B and the Porsche together would make a better photo.

I've cleaned most of it up. I'll send you the photos from when it happened. All thats left is huge scratches on every panel.
