Congradulations on using your car (I do too.) I'll never understand the garage queen concept.

Well thank you. My 997 was a garage queen. I swore I will never do that again, and so far so good.

Glad to hear you still use yours as intended. (PS, as you can see, the bike mounts worked out great. Thx again for tips.)

Love it! My Vette never saw rain. A lot of good that did me. Sold a brand new car to someone 5 years later for too little. I'm using the **** out of this one!

your baby is going to be ready for an early retirement package i think.......haul around snowboards in the summer, humped by the guest,**** on by birds, mud and chain lube roof treatment, i hope you dont have any stray dogs that lift their leg on your wheels..... in all seriousness way to use your 991 to it's fullest. the faster you use it up, the sooner you can buy a new one!!!

This is fundamentally why I am obsessed with Porsche. They make sports cars that are actually usable and practical. Very nice pics!
