Hey Kenny, way to fight and hang in there. As you know it is about getting up not staying down. Thanks for sharing your story and I really like your pictures. The car looks amazing. Enjoy the car. I am not too far from you either.
Very Respectfully,

Gordy

love the story....would love to hear more about....what changed your life and who or what inspired you? One of the things/insights i learned in my travels to india is to have a fulfilled live you have to have a dynamic range of experiences....you can't really experience euphoria unless you know the feeling of despair. Your life sounds euphoric right now which is awesome. Congrats on what i believe is the closest car to perfection!

welcome

I appreciate the comments and the warm welcome from the team. It's been a heck of a journey and a strong point of inspiration was to not fear failure. Some of you may be familiar with Roosevelt's "Man in the Arena" speech which inspired me during often cold and hungry nights.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
The kind words from everyone is especially meaningful as the company I'm joining on this forum have achieved something that I literally dreamed of as a child.

In my opinion you have won new member of the year. Welcome to our forum. I hope fortune causes you if not to win the race, to at least make the man in front of your break the world record.

Great story and sweet car. I'm in Potomac all the time for work, biking and eating out at restaurants. I hope to see your car pass me one day on one of my rides. I've slightly considered moving up to a newer Turbo S one day (like yours) but am not quite ready.

Thanks Steve, it looks like a few of the members are local so it might make sense to get together in the coming weeks and shoot the breeze a little bit. Looking forward to meeting you and others in the future~
