Default Hello Everyone!

I'm back in the Porsche camp after a twenty-five year absence. I just couldn't believe it when the 991 project actually came to fruition, and after my first test drive, I got rid of my 2009 ZO6 and six-month-old Hemi Challenger to make room for my new Guards red 991 with PDK.

But I never did get that car; during a visit to the dealership, I was mesmerized by a car that just had rolled off a delivery truck. It was simply a case of, "Who do I need to kill to get this car?"

Anyway, the car is now sleeping in my garage, and I'm delighted to be here with you guys & gals!
