His Porsche would be red. :)

Awesome image in a relatively small grid.

I got to drive a red one once. My boyfriend's. He was so nervous. I don't know why. :-)

thank you both teresa and jota :)
a couple of years back, there was a metermaid that wouldn't give a porsche a parking ticket because she was afraid to even touch the wipers on the car :/

Sorry I'm so late commenting on this Travis. I've been extremely busy lately with appointments for Niki and the baby. Ultrasounds and the like. I totally approve. This is a great image,especially for the size. You captured the vintage beautifully. I think Ferdinand would approve too. :)

The good Dr. Ferdinand Porsche (2 syllables, please; every vowel has its own syllable in the German language) may roll over in his grave at the "luxury" label - he built racing cars and sports cars, in that order. He once famously said that a perfectly built race car would fall to pieces immediately after finishing a race. Translation - if any pieces are still on the car after a race, it was built too heavy and thus could be faster.
That said, a beautiful rendition, a great solve, and thanks for the reawakening Travis!
