Yes it’s so sweet! I had a 2021 SQ and loved it, but I couldn’t resist the 23 Skyscraper 8C I found in Dec last year so I traded it. We got this Mythos black 24 for hubby. And it’s gorgeous. Pics don’t do this spec justice.

We have a tuned 3.0 in my Q7 and love it. Great power and excellent MPG when you're not working it. Very smooth- not quite BMW smooth but not far off.

I do appreciate how your SQ5 has gone back to the exposed tailpipes. Otherwise the SQ's can easily look like regular Qs.

Here's the latest photo of my 2011 Cayman Base 6MT. I recently installed a set of BBS SR 18" wheels in place of the 19" Carrera II wheels it came with. The car rides immensely better now.

Yep. I had spacers on my OEM 19s, 8mm front and 15mm rear. These wheels have a bit more offset plus the rear wheels are 0.5" wider. The fronts are perfectly flush with the fender. The rears are pushed in slightly more than the 19s with 15mm spacers. I'm going to add the 8mm spacers to the rear and call it good.

I'll add the full Cayman R shocks/springs and rear sway bar this spring. Almost a 1" drop.

So far it seems like great car...ive only put on around 300 miles since ive owned it.

Plus this type R is built in Japan unlike the last gen it was built in the UK. Also I believe this will be the last internal combustion engine type R

This one is from Summer, but I just came across it today and really like it.

It's from Quill Hill in Maine, outside Rangely. We initially drove up to see the sunrise around 4:30am, but as we were climbing the hill, we hit a major fog bank - the first picture. Obviously there was no sunrise to see. We drove down and grabbed breakfast and then headed back up a couple hours later. The post fog view was quite better.

Took advantage of what I thought was warmer weather to get some full temp oil flowing through the 911. Turns out it was only 37F out there and the top down approach wasn't my best idea. The wind deflector, heated seats and steering wheel helped, but I finally succumbed and put the top up when i was half way home.

There is nothing better than fine dining whilst being able to see your car whilst you eat. Even if the dining is not fine at all it becomes fine dining because you can gaze at the one you love.

such a beautiful design. I could make an argument that it's one of my top 3 for pretty cars to look at in the modern era. My heart really wanted me to get a V8V manual 'vert instead of the 991.2, but my head (and wallet and wife) prevailed.
