Couldn't pass up the photo op.

Stayed late at work today to put a new accelerator pump in, and leak check the air suspension. Thought I'd take the opportunity for a quick photo. We rarely get 959's in the shop. My apologies for the poor photo quality and poor lighting. Probably not everyone's cup of tea on this forum, but I thought I'd share anyways.

Cheers.

A grill is something you can cook a steak on. Our trucks have a grille. But, the grille on your truck sure looks like a grill. I like it.

My boss has a 2013 911 Turbo S. He let me drive it last spring when it finally came in. Holy crap those things are quick! I was never a Porsche fan until that day!

I stand corrected. I like it too.

x2, I would never want to own something like that. That's a good looking truck though, I like the stance.

It is just squatting low to try and fit in with the Porche's... still cooler. Cost a lot less too.

Yours looks WAY better than mine. It's really beat up. I hope to put a factory 71-72 grille on it one day, or possibly a GMC four light. Right now my to do list on the truck is occupied with mechanical things. Any appearance items are a long ways off.

The newer turbos are so freakin' quick. But to be honest the lack of a manual transmission almost makes them boring. Its like a video game, just point and shoot and the computers do the rest.

Just drop spindles in the front and air bags in the rear. In the picture its sitting on the un-notched frame.

Whats scary to think is that a major service on either of those cars, is more than what my truck is worth.
