The cool thing about this, is people that saw me in the hospital a year ago, didn't think Id talk well again...so even non car friends are into this.
And yes, workin on your car is good PT, never stop, don't let life slow you down if you have the -chance-, not all handicaps are the same, but do what you can.

Cool Jeff, great vid/story. Now that you are moving on up to the big time, we'll have a budget for wardrobe

^^This...

Just made my day too.


Im a little bit of a "get off my lawn" kinda forum guy, I gotta work on that, but without Mark Woudsma here locally, and a bunch of others here, this would have still been a parts car...maybe.

Jeff, that was a great video...smiling to myself as I write this. Growing up in the early 80s, all I wanted to be when I got "older" was a Porsche test-driver. I am "older" now......I am NOT a Porsche test driver. I absolutely love that your daughter is pursuing her dream @ Porsche. I'm totally stoked for both of you!!
Good luck with everything,

-Kevin

Great video and inspirational story. Funny thing how we imagine people will look doesn't match up with the reveal

Great story and I am glad you survived the stroke. I survived 2 heart attacks since getting my 928's. Working on them brings great joy to my face and my soul. Glad your daughter has caught the bug.

Great video!, my favorite line was "take the previous owner out of it".
It seems you are doing well, I did not know of your past health condition before I watched this.
Recovery is a long road, but it seems you took a short cut.
