i've got a good digital camera but as noted, i'm like "living out of a suitcase". i dont lik having those cars outside in plain view at a storage place, etc. and of course, i always forget to take it. weds i am promised the painting will be done and a/c completed, so then things will get simplified. my warehouse is a convenient 2 minute from my main offices which excites me to no end. nothing likie a quick stop by on the way home...infact we're setting up a desk of phones, computers. myself and my 3 sales guys will do an hour of power of sales calls...will make the space worth every dollar...and then boot them out and try doing some DIY stuff.

i definately plan on having them well photographed if not just for insurance purposes...etc. i just need another week or so to get things mellowed.

i could have posted the photo of my dork friend pretending like he was in a sprinters' stance, about to race the two. but frankly, he looked ridiculously silly and it was demeaning to the two cars.

i had to delete. you can not act like a total goof in presence of the nba's all time greatest player. he too was embarassed and glad i deleted.
more to come later.

nighty night dudes.

fyi, i'm selling a shelby gt350 on ebay if anyone is so interested...not a porsche and a wicked good car/investment, but i'm not smitten.
regards,
steve

i will be the first to say what many may be thinking... your posts are almost unbelievable...

however, lets give the benefit of the doubt and just assume that you have reached car Xanadu... it would certainly seem so...

i need to quit my job and become a trader... i would be happy being 1/10th as good a trader as you, and therefore have 1/10th of your car collection... just one 993 tt S will suit me fine thank you

i'll be as blunt as possible or as i can be. i grew up with nothing. my dad died when i was 9. my mom slaved like a dog to raise 3 kids who never didnt have the essentials. she murdered herself for years. me? i grew up an upstate, country-loving skiier, snowboarder, mountainbikers, road cyclist. to this day, i wear slacks and sweatshirts to my offices. i hate ties. i hate suits. i hate big events. ihate wallstreet-acting guys. i love my kids. love my wife. love playing soccer with my son. love my bike room in my basement where i maintain all my bikes. i love riding my bike. i like my NJ State Time Trial Champions Jersey, but love the effort it took to train to get it.
and frankly everything here related to cars falls far beneath all that.
for whatever silly reason, i happen to get into the markets in 1994 at the right time. i've always owned my businesses. i've had 6. the most successful one previous wa a bike shop in upstate NY. shorts/sweatshirts 11months / year.
so its a bit of luck, a good amount of hard work...but thats all it is. its not an entitlement, i dont deserver it...for the moment, at this time, things are not terrible. ad so why not enjoy it? why not be insane over it. probably 90% of us would be diagnosed with something. we're on this board blogging away.

all this stuff aint your health, it aint your kids, it aint your family. i'd give every single one of those away without one second of hesitation if it meant providing any additional necessity to my children. the wife? there we'd have to go a little more on the necessity chart<G>. we'd all do the same....or atleast some of us would!<GGG>

dudes, all in good fun. and fyi, wall street is a good industry but brutal on the nerves. money is not everything. sure, you're looking at the turbo's' and tehy seem neat. they arent 1/10000000th as neat as climbing into bed with my sons or daughter and them telling me about their day, why school was tough, or watching him get pelted in the gut playing goalie, him looking at me like he's about to cry for the impact, i toss him a look that says "suck it up, focus on the game", he claps his hands and gets right back into it. Thats what i missed the sunday NJ rally to watch...and as much as i hated missing it, i'm glad i did. these cars will be young in 10 years. my kids wont. keep it all in perspective.
they are just cars.

All I can say is, I definitely was one of the people that thought you were full of ....

But after your fourth or fifth post, I stared to change my mind. But after this post I respect you more for saying what you said. I too work on wall street, but do NOT have anything close to what you have (financially), but also have two kids (two boys, age 1 and 3); and agree that they (wifey included) are the most important things in my life and would give up my car in a sec if I had to.

Again, I commend you and agree that family is the most IMPORTANT thign in life

ZSA Motorsport

financial riches are important to the extent that they provide security for family. once you have that, then its all excess anyway. i'll also tell you that its only amongst this group, and myself, that anyone would care about those, quoting my father-in-law, "silly cars". i give a lot back to the community. my wife and i setup charitable funds and we support many local causes, though i tend to focus our energies and resources on children and sport. we funded a youth baseball team last year and support all the kids programs at the neighboring schools. my company donates about 1/2 of 1% of our income to many causes as well.
i'm a young dad of 3. all this is new to me. very new. i'm doing what i can to figure it all out,a nd frankly, its kind of neat.
owning porsches for me seems like an incredible combination of things: wicked nice equipment; high performance, speed; but also a 'hobby' that is attractive to the obsessive compulsive, and requires great attention to detail. the challenge of being successful in putting together a collection, maintaining it, etc. and doing with it that which you do with a collection is what excites me. its always the means to the ends, not the ends, which stimulates the soul.

dudes, anytime anyone wants to speak, reach out or learnmore, feel free to check out my company and email me directly. steve@trademanage.com

AGC

BTW, I did check out your company's website already, interesting.

Definitely would like to learn more, I'm currently at GS and work in a similar area

ZSA Motorsport

anytime you want. heck wait about 1 week and you can come out, visit me at my offices and we can go check out the S's. heck it might be time to put some miles on them and if you can handle 424 hp, 2 is better than 1. later,

Steve,

I think it's time to renegotiate our commission rates.

complete your collection and get the ultimate 993gt2 from rpm

man, i'd love that gt2 but the main impediment...its not street legal. granted, i like to track like the rest of us, but its also nice to just go out on a nice day and motor around. to me, thats too much collectability, not enough drive-ability.
what a wicked car.
r there any other 993 gt2s out there anywhere to be had?
what a narly car.

ZSA Motorsport

anyone have any ideas here, anyone know if lance's TT is around somewhere? anyone have other info on it. i read his book but dont have it currently not that it would matter. i'll do some googling.

isnt the internet wildly amazing? i think the computer might go down as the greatest enabler of all time, but the internet is right there behind it. what did we use dto do before weather.com .? i think i used to call someplace each day for 35 cents. my mom used to go nuts.

to 993's

ps: i think if you're so into cycling... you may want to try & find lance armstrong's former 993tt (think it was an 's' too).

Chuck A.

You wouldn't happen to give "tours" of your collection would you? For obvious reasons, I'd love to see the blue TT in person.

ZSA Motorsport

would be my pleasure. as i wrote a few posts back, this coming weds. we're finally getting our warehouse space squared away. we were painting and carpeting, and someother nonesense. so probably by end of week or next weekend, i'll be back in there, cars out of storage and back in the warehouse. at that time, i'd be happy to hav eyou offer and check out the cars.
i cringe to even say it, but i just added one...i'll save pictures and what-not until i actually get it less bad luck fall upon me during transit.
..............................later,
steve

Chuck A.

I really appreciate that. I'll send you an e-mail in a couple of weeks.

Thanks,

Chuck
