Default Pics of the Lobby at Porsche, Stuttgart

My son Ty is on active duty right now with the Air Force and stationed in Germany where he is rebuilding jet engines for Operation Iraqi Freedom.

He’s been on the Nurbergring now, the Autobahn, you-name-it. He's got a Lexus rental car and he's living it up whenever he does not have to be on the Air Base.

He went to Porsche Corp offices in Stuttgart. These photos are of the main lobby. He said the receptionist was HOT, but was not allowed to be photographed, so said her supervisor.

He asked if he could have his picture taken behind the desk, and she agreed and stepped out. Then he grabbed the phone and started haming it up and his Air Force buddy kept snapping the pictures. Ty said she freaked at first, but understood the joke.

He certainly wore the right T-shirt!

Very cool - great post!

(Maybe he got someone's phone number while working at her desk?)

Ty's friend obviously hasn't learned the art of stealth photography.

No doubt, these guys are military.
What every happened to shoot first, ask questions later?

Thank your son for me.

And have him thank all the other brave men and women serving in any capacity.
