PHX is (generally) nice this time of year (esp. compared to Chicago).

Seriously, thanks for the compliment though.

Seriously! It was unusual...to say the least. But hey, I found out that the rain-sensing wipers work nicely!

Also, swing by Scottsdale Quarter on the weekend. Dominick's usually has a couple of cool cars out front and the valet on the East side of the center has some awesome stuff usually.

Two straight days. I often go months without being able to wash my car and have it stay clean after I've taken it out of the garage.

At least you need them more than once. I just bought snow tires, wheels, and TPMS sensors for the F since I am going home to PA for the holidays and the F is the only car I have. Now it is supposed to be like 40 the entire time I am home.

Looks like a 996 to me. The 997 tails curve up on the bottom, the 996 follow a flat line across the bumper.

Not a fan of the wheels, but I'm sure if I was driving it I'd quickly not give two shits.

Dunno why I didn't think of this thread tonight. I had dinner downtown Naples this evening (visiting family who lives here) and saw countless Bentleys and Rolls Royces. Two F430s. One California. A handful of 911s. Two R8s. An S65 AMG. One SLS...yeah I really suck. The money in Naples is sickening. Of course it's all people 65+ with nothing better to spend their money on but still.

Yep, sounds like Naples. I was down there visiting family a few years ago and I was staying in a hotel that was next door to a Bentley/Rolls Royce dealership

this thread kills me. anytime I see something exotic or interesting outside, no matter what I'm doing, this thread pops up in my head and I immediately assess whether I can get a photo somehow...

I hear you; what kind of dork did I look like standing across the parking lot at the Dr.'s office this morning using my phone to take pictures of some guy's Ferrari?

You ain't kidding! That's what I get for using the "zoom" on my phone. I couldn't bring myself to walk across the lot to get closer.
