Yes it is.

He uses a 50's Camera as his switch controls.

Kinja'd!!!

Not sure if this is the setup for the Fintail or the one he recently sold.

I'm over here going, how many of these can there really be? I met him when he had his 190E at a show, very similar in color to my 300SE. I love it.

You live near here?

I live in NH.

Seacoast area.

Me and Ludwick spoke a few times VIA text and what not when I was looking to get the Dirtnap Jetta.

Did you ever see his Fox?

I don't think so.

I live north of Lebanon, actually, so pretty far north.

Pic won't load for me, but be careful, sometimes even blocks aren't enough for those 'temporary' carport structures. A friend had one rip off the ground and pound the crap out of his '84 Vette. Not pretty.

Block, stake, bigger stake, double stakes, concrete footings in the ground with rebar to tie down to maybe?

Unfortunately no. But it is backed up against the house, but slightly offset. So there is no door from the house to the garage. One would have to go out the back door, then into the garage. Lowest I have seen it in the garage though was mid 40's. And that was when it was 15 to 20 degrees out.

Some advice from a former carport owner - get the snow off the roof as soon as you can. If the roof material is not pulled tight then snow builds up and over time the lowest layers will melt during the day and freeze at night - building up and over a storm or two collapsing due to the huge ice blocks on the roof. Poor Eagle Talon TSi AWD got a dent on the roof and the rear wing shattered as a result.
