Out-frickin-standing! Beautiful car as well, somewhat similar itinerary... but your co-pilot's ALOT easier on the eyes!!!

I should have gone with a nice color like you two did and stand out. Every other 911 here in Los Angeles is black. Of course it helps when I'm robbing liquor stores.

Kevin. Great picture blog! We must all have some of that "find the superior parking spot" DNA in us. I liked that pic "dumb luck"

You two really did it up right! I'm so jealous.

If I had asked my wife to accompany me to pick up my car in Stuttgart she would have said f-off! Not a car person.
Yeah, I've grown a substantially softer opinion of your Alma Mater, since my mother was treated for the big "c" there. The docs there are the best in the biz. I hope it's gonna be a late kickoff on 11/30. I'll be on a flight back from Asia arriving home pretty late.

If you want to do ED, you can try convincing the wife you'll swing by Paris so she could go shopping. You'll have to budget 20% more than the price of the car, but it's a small price to pay.

Great write up! Add another item to the bucket list: do Euro delivery and swing by the "ring" and take her for a test drive!

Paris not a necessity. My wife found the Hermes stores in Both Lucerne and Baden Baden!!!

Well, some of the nastiest pinks and greens and a strange blue/green on P-cars that I have seen have been in Shanghai. Apparently, PTS P-cars are all the rage for corrupt C-party officials' mistresses.

I've seen that pink 997 in Westwood too!! Pretty badass IMHO if you're a girl.
