That looks ike its hovering like Luke Skywalker's land speeder in Star Wars.
Plum Crazy Purple has always been my favorite color for the 'Cudas. That would be my choice. Just to ensure it pisses off the stock-Nazis out there

The one I ordered from Porsche was shipped upright in a big ol' box.
On the side of the box was a little sensor to ensure it didnt get shipped in other than a vertical positon.

I just tossed the last one in the foot of the back seat of the Dodge truck and drove it 280 miles. No blankets, no tape, just stood it up vertical and didn't drive like an idiot. Made it no problem an I met one of the more interesting buggers from the PNW crowd buying it.

I bought a windshield from some chucklehead on a website I'd not frequented, turns out it was Mr. Root. The rest is history.
Wait, that came out like the rest of you guys aren't interesting. Now this is awkward.

Also....got windshield home without a problem. I'm not going to use it in my rebuild. It has a small ding and I simply want to start with a new one, especially after I saw my car with fresh paint.
Anyone need one? Make me an offer and it's yours.

Im thinking of going down but I will probably be in the vanagon (svx swap may not be complet). So if she get to be to much of a distraction, she can alway be a house guest in the majic bus.
Youll never know shes there

Back in my car sales days I went to a Dodge/Chrysler training at Emerald Downs, we used that circuit area to "learn" (beat the snot out of) the SRT lineup. 1st, we drove ourselves around it in whichever SRT8 product we wanted, and then, later, a professional racer gave us a ride in the same cars... So amazing what those guys could do with those big heavy pigs!!

Feb 27 2012, 11:34 PM
I don't remember his last name. Silver 928 in pretty nice shape. Something about him and a couple of the teeners running somewhere after they left the A + W and something happened. I never heard what is was. This was 06/07/08 maybe.
