Bought Beautiful Sculpture Instead of new Wheels.
While it could be argued that Porsche wheels are art, I decided to buy some actual art for about the same price. I picked up this gorgeous Inuit soap stone carving. Same simple lines as the Cayman, and I think just as timeless.







Alternatively I was looking at these:




Can't buy stuff for the car all the time.

Re: Bought Beautiful Sculpture Instead of new Wheels.
Very nice - I particularly like Inuit drawings. Does this help unsprung weight though?

Is the Duck ready to go out to play or are the streets still white and/or brown?

Re: Bought Beautiful Sculpture Instead of new Wheels.
I hate to say it but I think you made the right choice. That is gorgeous.

I have a bronze of two wolf heads, mother and cub, that I love. Spent too much on it. Don't really care. Occasionally I stop at the top of the stairs and just stare at it for a while. And then I have to return to the real world.
