    Attack of the 'Christmas Trees'

My car will see the other side of a buck-forty, but why would I want to pimple-up it's face with this mess? What's next? Dagmars and a swamp-cooler? Woof! . . .


    I know-I know --- the pull to search-out/buy/stick-on 'stuff' on one's car is pretty strong . . . but my question is always? . . .

    . . . is this something I Really Need (= gonna use)? . . .


    . . . or is this just something I Gotta Have?



    Lotsa cars have seats and steering wheels added, maybe a few special bits under the hood . . . my car does. Kinda expected. Tons o' this stuff out there, too --- from vendors more-than-happy to push it . . . and a lot of it genuine Real-Deal period/Porsche stuff, too . . .

    Maybe throw-in a few interesting period bits, too, like . . . a muffler skirt, some fender trim, maybe a roll bar . . . even mud-flaps


    But then . . .


    . . . flairs + fenders, tails, roof racks, decals, badges, bazooka exhausts? . . . topped-off by the inevitable cluster of lights? --- = yikes!



    Car as 'Christmas tree' . . .
