A little #ThrowbackThursday action with this 991 Turbo on HRE RS102's in full polish.

(I think he might have even tapped the brakes when I got behind him!!!)
That, of course, is the same ribbing I get from my track buddies. I find that they interpret the picture based on the car you're driving, regardless of the truth. So, if you are driving a 991 turbo, and are shown in front of a Ferrari FF or 599, that's one thing, but if in a "lesser" car leading a "superior" car, they assume you're being lapped, even if the truth is the opposite!

They know what's up! I figure if we are going to bring a car like this to the track, we'd damn sure better be able to drive it, right?

Yes, or else get lapped by that guy in a Miata! Speaking of Miatas, check out the V8 under the hood!

My son, who has Cerebral Palsy really bad and needs a lot of motion. He defines happiness by how many rides he gets. You will see his head in the back of the 911 almost every pic I take as we go out on father-son rides every day.

The 911 is a lot more than just a fancy car to us.

Yea, my son’s love affair with Porsche’s goes way back. There are days that his only good moment is in the car. Here he is with my first Porsche, a 987 Cayman. Damn I miss that car.

Here’s to many more 911 rides with you and your son.
