Hey, here are some old pictures I found when I was cleaning out my other computor.

My uncle's 996 Carrera 'vert. He sold it, to some dude who's going to give it to his son as a present.


There's a guy in my hometown who likes to fix up old Carreras. Lately, I've also seen a lot of Miatas in his driveway. On the day I took these pictures, he had 2 old Carreras (maybe someone else will know what they are), a Galant VR-4, and a little yellow 914 that I can't find my photo of. Here's the other three.




Oh, and almost forgot, my old Toyota:

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

And does anyone have some tips on resizing my pictures?

Heh, I like those old 4Runners and their pickup counterparts. I'd like to built up an old Yota pickup to look like that awesome black one from the Back to the Future movies.

That's a great local brewery that we have. Do I drink their beer? No.

I wish I had a picture of it after I'd taken the top off. I can't imagine why I never took one.

Those Porsches look like they're from the early 70s. 

Are either of them for sale?

Those are from a few years ago, so most likely not. To be honest, I don't really know what the guy does with them. I assume he fixes them up and then sells them; he's had such a turnover since I started noticing them. I've seen, oh, at least 30 different porsches parked at various times in front of his driveway.

Mostly they're Carreras like those. Sometimes he has 6, sometimes he has 1, or none.

I don't know if I could ever do that.  Build up a car and then sell it.  It would be like giving away your children, only harder.

I want them to appear a bit larger on-screen.

Resize to 800x600 or 640x480. It'll vary depending on each person's screen resolution...but those should be sufficient.

by glass garage, he means a garage door that has glass sections instead of the normal opaque stuff.

Look carefully. The side is glass paneled as well.
