Day-by-Day Review: 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8GT; Day 3
So the Genesis Coupe isn't the most practical sports car around, says James, but what really matters here is how the car drives. And it's in that department that this car really shines, he says.

C'mon, we'll make a little room in between for the yellow car.

We'll see what the weather does.

I don't intend on driving this thing in the rain, unless I happen to get caught in it.

I guess your not drive it all this October  ROFL
On the weekend I had the top up and down about 4 times because of the rain

Saturday looks good.  Smiley

I've done enough riding in the rain, freezing rain and deep snow on two wheels to know what fun and what is not.

A little late to the party but a big congrats on the new car!  Hopefully we will get some nice fall driving weather so you can get out there and enjoy it before the snow comes.

The weather this past Saturday could not have been better. But as I was driving along on the backroads, there were so many motorcycles out, I wanted to be out on mine as well. This is going to be tough on future sunny days; the Porsche Carrera or the BMW GS?

I do have to get to the clutch pedal pivot and linkages and clean and grease them. There is a bit of stiction there.

Great story, great car.  And I remember Towers in the late 60's - mid 70's.

And to add to the story, I recently found my old baseball cap with the Porsche crest that I had bought and ironed on when I was about 17. It and a Tamiya model of the Porsche 935 in Martini & Rossi paint trim was all I could afford that was Porsche.

That was 35 years ago. I was wearing that cap yesterday.

Congratulations again on your new 993. Looks great.

Thanks for posting the new addn'l pictures, although for some reason I was having touble seeing them in-line in your post. I did find them at your original photo link:

http://edelweiss.smugmug.com/Cars/1995-Porsche-Carrera-2

It really looks to be in really excellent condition. I love the simple purposeful interior.
