Photos of My Car
 
Someone said in one of the other threads that my car had too many swirls in it. So I paid some guy like about $160 to polish it with a bunch of stuff.

I think the swirls are gone. It looks more shinny now. Do you think they did a good job?

I think I am going to quit my job and buy a hotel down there....any for sale? :cool:

eqs 05-01-2008 05:50 PM

The red w/the blk interior looks better imo than the one that was for sale here with the red w/the tan interior.

Cheers :)

Life is good.

The photos were taken today at Santa Fe Antioquia Colombia.

There is a big convention here with all the classic cars. I am told the Porsche Club is here also but I did not get my membership papers so I am driving solo....well...sorta solo......

By the way, that suspension bridge you see there is one of the oldest in the Americas.

LoveBunny 05-01-2008 06:00 PM

I want to find a surgeon who can give me a butt like that!

IowaS 05-01-2008 06:01 PM

Can we have a poll on if this should be a sticky thread? Just kidding......
This could definitely go in the Cartagena hall of fame :cheers:

Part of what I do is set up tourists with plastic surgeons. Medelllin is the plastic surgeon capital of South America. But my girl is all natural so far.

That Church is a couple hundred years old. Santa Fe was the original capital of Antioquia but now Medellin is. I thought I would toss in a history lesson here in addition to the swirl discussion.

2000SoCalBoxsterS 05-01-2008 06:23 PM

Oh my god, you are the man. A very very lucky man. Even my wife doesn't look that good in my Boxster.

PSL-Boxster 05-01-2008 06:26 PM

i dont think you had the top fully down mate :p

- great color combo

silverboxter 05-01-2008 07:03 PM

Cartagena-

I think I saw a swirl. I can't really tell you where it's at...I'll be down in person to show you! ; )


great car and pics

Kurt W 05-01-2008 07:15 PM

Nice rides, Cartagena!
One question, what is it like driving on Columbian roads? I recently returned from Costa Rica, and while I have no good reason to assume the roads in Columbia are anything like Costa Rica, I would be paranoid driving my Porsche there. Just curious. I suppose if you live there, you do what you gotta do. BTW, the roads in my parts ain't much better.
regards,
KurtW

super66 05-01-2008 09:25 PM

Really? I never knew that. I'm planning on having some surgery but the whole idea of traveling to another country for surgery freaks me out. And there is no surgeon in the world good enough to reproduce her booty, at least not on my body.

"my girl is all natural so far"

because she's 14teen!

porscheracer01 05-02-2008 06:46 AM

boxstering in south america?! where is the machine gun turret?
I presume you paid over 100k for your boxster cuz of the high import tax..right?

Bad Company 05-02-2008 08:56 AM

Is there a car in those pictures?

2000SoCalBoxsterS 05-02-2008 09:10 AM

Now that I have the image of your lovely assistant burned into my memory I have an off topic question. What does a gallon of gas cost where you live?

The last time I was in Colombia the gas was priced very close to what we pay for gas after the money conversion. I would assume that with the weak dollar the conversion makes Colombia gas more expensive than in the US.

On the topic of the pictures. I dod not notice the bridge in the background. Thanks for pointing it out to us.

Great pictures.

I don't know... my SO is Chinese. I paid to have her get her laser eye surgery in China before she came to the U.S. It was only $500 there versus $4,500 here. But a computer does most of the work with that surgery, so it wasn't such a big deal.

Topless 05-02-2008 02:12 PM

Yes Sir! Nice smooth polished lines all right.

I feel so dirty :o .

cartagena 05-02-2008 03:48 PM

First, it is ColOmbia not ColUmbia. :)

Major roads are much better than in Costa Rica. I once drove from San Jose CR to Jacko and the roads suck.

Colombians do not know how to drive though and even a blind man can get a licence so it can be a little dangerous if you do not have experience.

Well, neither of them are models. The first girl was my assistant that I just photographed on the beach one day but started a huge thread. The present girl is some sort of girlfriend but I have not figured it out yet.

If you have complications in a foreign country is can really suck if you get stuck there. However, small things are usually no problem. The costs are much less than in the USA. Of course though if it freaks you out then never even consider it.

Is she is 14 I am in a whole lot of trouble!!!!!! :cheers:

cartagena 05-02-2008 03:57 PM

Last time I priced one was in 2007 and it was $104,000 USD with taxes. The same year a very boring looking 911 was $185,000 USD.

I keep the machine gun in the glove compartment. Fully automatic UZI. :rolleyes:

If you zoom into the hills in the background, maybe you will see some Communist Guerillas running around? Or maybe some coca plant growing? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Yeah, that's what bothers me about it. When I had my nose done I had to have it revised because it didn't heal correctly the first time. Would have been a huge pain if I'd have had to leave the country to get it done again. I'm sure there are some great doctors where you live, but surgery is still surgery and I'd rather be much closer to home. There are a lot of things I like to cut costs on, but I don't bargain shop for surgery.

cartagena 05-03-2008 06:49 PM

And if you get lipo in your stomach it hurts like hell if you try flying too soon.

Ouch. I've heard the recovery from lipo hurts in general, any area, flying or no flying.

cartagena 05-09-2008 05:53 PM

I found another one.

I have decoded most of the option codes on my front trunk lid sticker. Now I am wondering if one of the unknown codes is for the South American Girlfriend option. The car came with only one key and no owner’s manual. I am wondering if the previous owner or dealer also kept the girlfriend that was supposed to go with the car. :(

cartagena 05-10-2008 11:01 AM

The car actually does not come with a girl when bought from the dealership but I have heard stories of girls included with used models so think of it as an aftermarket add on like getting new rims.
