Wow. Seeing one on the road is insane.

Manual GT3 Touring. About as good as it gets from Porsche.

Yup. I do love the 991.2 GT3 looks.

Also, pretty funny that they call out an 8'5" clearance. I don't think they would even bother to caution something so high in MA in a parking garage.

I bet they needed to 'per code' for a public parking garage (regardless of clearance).

Yep. I’ve only ever seen them on display — Goodwood and the Scottsdale auctions.

Peugeot 301 with a manual with Puebla plates. I see this often on weekends parked in front of this house while walking Todd.

As seen on Todd's walk late last night...I don't see many LR3s out on the road anymore, especially with giant branches that fell and perfectly came to rest on the roof. Didn't look like it took any damage, though I presume the roof took some scratches and dents.

Ha, I've rented a 301. Sadly much worse than a comparable Renault Clio and many other Peugeots.
