The only other car I remember seeing in a calendar was an Isuzu SUV but I am not sure if it was the same calendar haha....
Leading evidence: 'same calendar haha' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'same calendar haha' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I made this account just to ask this question and I know it is a bit of a long shot as well as a bit silly. Simply, I am trying to find a photo of a blue 996 Carrera that was used in a calendar. This specific photo is stuck in my head and I remember seeing it as a kid and at the time I told myself one day I would have that car. The nostalgia is hitting me really hard now and I have desperately scoured the internet for this photo but have not been successful. I figure if anyone could help it would be the fine folks at this forum.
Since I was young I do not remember all the details but these are the details I do remember:
The photo is of the car speeding along a road with green forestation on the side of the road. The photographer is behind the car so you can only see the back of the car.
The car was a 996 Carrera, not a Turbo. It is possible it was a Carrera S or Carrera 4, I only remember seeing the word Carrera sprawled on the back (I thought this name was just super cool)
The car was a bright blue color so likely either Cobalt Blue Metallic or Lapis Blue Metallic
The year it appeared on the calendar was likely between 1998-2001
That is all the information I have. Hopefully this photo is available online and I can find it or I can just be sad forever.
The camera was directly behind the car. The road in the photograph itself was slightly heading toward the right side of the photograph, if I remember correctly.
What do you remember of the calendar? Where were you at the time? How did you come across the calendar? In other words, local PCA chapters often do a calendar full of pictures of Porsche's. When I googled it, I came across some pictures from PCA chapter's calendars.
I was at most 11 years old at the time and likely younger so it is very hard to remember details that could help me find it today. I do not recall how exactly I got the calendar but my hunch is I got it at the NY Auto Show. I honestly have no recollection of any other car featured in the calendar but I do know for a fact that it was not exclusively Porsche. It may not have even be exclusively sport cars. The only other car I remember seeing in a calendar was an Isuzu SUV but I am not sure if it was the same calendar haha....
Cool video but I am sure it was a calendar.
This is the closest photo I have found online. Obviously this photo was taken much more recently, is right hand drive, and from the right rear three quarter view (vs from directly behind as I recall). It is possible (and unfortunately likely in my opinion) that the photo simply does not exist online. Just been bugging me to no end.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
