Hardtop storage rack review

[gtoger]

Yeah, I was just feeling fortunate to get the hard top with the car! So the $117 was not a deal-killer for the rack. It's probably not near the quality of an authentic Porche product. Then again, you put the top on it, cover it, and shove it over in a corner for the summer. What do you really need?

Oh... OK, yeah, there are some Pontiacs in the picture. Sorry about that. To answer KRAM36, yes, the red car appears exactly as delivered. We've turned about 6200 miles on the clock since taking delivery. To say it's "garage kept" would be, uh, understatingly accurate. The wheels are actually Firehawk-specific Ronals. They're extremely hard to find if you want originals, but there are repros out there for those who are into that sort of thing.

I'll see what I can do on the ZR-1 & GTO pics. Never figured anyone would be very interested. Is there an appropriate place in the forum for that? (I imagine it's OT to 986 stuff!) Here's one of the ZR-1 and Firehawk at my favorite shop down in New Braunfels....

If you've got a Chevy Monza tucked in the back corner, we'd love to see pics on that, too!

Seriously? Go back to cutting hair if you're just going to make sarcastic comments. Any red blooded American male knows significance of these cars and the impact they made for others to chase. While growing up maybe you should have pulled your nose out of GQ and Cosmopolitan, and stuck in Motor Trend and Car & Driver.

Kram - I was just kidding, okay? It's a juxtaposition of awesome cars with one that was ... not so awesome. Like if the Louvre displayed the Mona Lisa and The Birth of Venus, and somebody suggested putting Dogs Playing Poker in between them. Or if you went to 801 Chop in KC and told the waiter you could really go for a Whopper, Jr.

Sorry if the joking didn't come across to you. Have a on me and live life happy.
