Are you referring to the Michelin Pilot Sport 2?

For the Porsche list, how about GPW = Grand Prix White?

VCR=The Village Coffee Roaster in Calabasas CA
That one was a tough one to figure out–even though its only a mile and a half from my house. There are a lot of posts using this acronym.

A gathering place for exotics on Sunday mornings in the Los Angles area.

Near where Mullholland heads off into the Santa Monica Mountains. . .
