How many pics of your 986 do you have?
I'm sure there are some doubles and some are not my car, but most are. This is about 3/4 of what I have 
A lot of those which appear to be doubles are actually from slow walk around shots whilst continually snapping pictures.
I'm approaching 1000...I counted about 800 here and I have several folders that I didn't open

I feel a little strange taking pics of my car but must confess I have taken more pics of this car than any car previously. However I have regrets that I have not taken more pics of previous cars but they would be Brownie pics from the 1960's and on. Not digital.
Here is a pic of my black box....

I have a handful of pictures that were taken by the PO for the ad when I bought it, but otherwise I haven't taken any pictures like that. I have tons of pictures of parts, mods, repair work, etc. Mostly not for pride but so I remember how things go back together or to make DIY's for others.
I don't post any pictures on social media, nor do I really bring it up to friends in conversation. If people have seen me driving it they know I own it, otherwise they probably don't. It just feels arrogant to me to say "look what I bought". Now, pictures of things I have made, I will post those. There is pride to be had in the "look what I built with my own two hands" photos.

Still, your car is impeccably clean. Those headlights do tie it up, though

To those who don't (or too rarely) publish their car's pics
No need to be shy about it or fear social media, thinking you are a retard doing it or whatever other reason you think its a waste of time doing so. Posting pics of your own car might not be that of a use or valuable to yourself but some others (like myself) loves to see and be inspired by some other's cars. YOUR car
Colors, mods, stickers, wheel color, background / scenery set-up, whatever other silly things, doesn't matter. Someone somewhere will always like to see your car.
Besides... is there anything more boring than a static thread with no pics.
TAKE AND POST PICS. Go crazy (please)

I concur even though I'm one of the guilty ones. I like seeing them all from plain like mine to the drop dead gorgeous like yours, Dangers, and Perfectlaps.
