Welcome to LA. Now go home. But leave your car. 😝 Been waiting for you to get here so I could post that.

Where in LA are you? TONS of Porsche events every weekend. LMK if you want a list.

Thanks for sharing your trip with us.

Thanks for the pictures really enjoyed it!!
Ciao Max!

Welcome to California, Ken!

Having lived on the East Coast for the majority of my life I can say that you just entered the best place to enjoy our cars. Not only can you find tons of car related activities, the roads are absolutely fantastic once you get outside of the cities. With great year round weather you can drive the 964 year round without the excessive wear/tear that comes with road salt/sand.

Memories that last a lifetime. Great fun.

It took a long time to bring that car to where it is I hope you don't sell and continue to enjoy it. All the best in CA.

I went to the famous mulholland hwy yesterday. It's nice stretch. few sections are great for cars. most are suited for motorcycle better, especially the snake section. its about an hr from where I live, very accessible. I think this is one of the biggest change from NYC. Often have to drive more than an hr before getting to good roads.

Give Angels Crest Hwy a shot, it’s better suited for cars and likely less traffic.

I saw your car posted on Pelican, I wish you luck with the sale.
