Default wife upset I never let her drive my GTS

and she literally gets jealous that I spend way too much time with him (I even named him after my passed away dog )








so, I bought her her very own! One of the last outgoing 991.2 Targa 4 GTS in Korea!








Wife was also recently diagnosed with breast cancer so I’m hoping this will give her some needed strength and motivation during her journey.

it’s definitely a gift but dang why am I so giddy! Happy driving everyone!

Beautiful car. Good luck to you and your wife. I lived in Bundang (Jeongja-dong) for almost a year. I have been going to Korea for 20yrs. Lots of nice cars around Seoul.

My younger classmate, mother of 2 young kids, was diagnosed in Jan '20 and just finished her last chemo a few days ago. I don't know the entire feeling, but somewhat do.

Life here on earth is uncertain. Take care of her well.

I pray for your wife speedy recovery and to enjoy her Targa.

Cheers,

Thanks for all the warm thoughts.

Oh and in case anyone here remembers, this is our third member of the 911 family. The second one was to my mom for her 70th birthday and life reborn after her double knee replacement surgery.

there is just something about this 911 that brings a special joy and pleasure to life, and I’m happy to see the women in my life get it

Beautiful car! There are amazing treatments available now to treat breast cancer that were not available several years ago. Tell your wife to stay positive, cancer is no longer the disease that it was before.

As they say in Korean, FIGHTING!!

When I read the title I thought the thread would go somewhere completely different.

You deserve an award my friend!! I wish your wife good health and hope she recovers quickly.

American men < Asian men:

US husband/boyfriend, Yo b!tch go make me a sandwich and be quick or I bust u face.

Asian man, hi honey, tosses over key fob, I picked up this new Targa for you today. I thought the color was a nice counterpoint to your lovely eyes. Love you!
