Picture of the Month #43

[BucketListPorsche]

Way to go! Too much fun to lock up for the winter.
What is your secret for keeping the salt in the bay and not under the car?

One of the all time best POMs!

Looks like your suspension travel may be a bit limited though with all that snow build up in the fender wells.

Where's the front plate?!?

Thanks to beez for posting my photo as POTM, and to all of you for your positive comments. I must say, this scene is pretty amusing! Considering that my Cayman has also seen 7 years of track duty, and is rapidly approaching 100,000 miles on the odometer, I think it's a shining example of the durability and versatility of Porsche automobiles.

^ I'm pretty sure the "ice fillets" in the wheel wells improve the car's overall aerodynamic coefficient of drag, but it's difficult to quantify at 20 mph!

Those ice fillets will also give you lots down force,... but only realized when traveling at speed >150 MPH.

I thought those were curb feelers.
Great picture.

Actually, your car looks pretty clean in that picture. My gray GTI looks almost white. Great picture.

I agree - how is it so clean! I have at least 1/4 inch layer of salt on the truck!

Nice picture!

Thanks, guys. I bring my car to the local car wash once a week.

I think I just heard a collective gasp
