Oh, and did I mention the women? 70 degrees in SF is a lot better looking than 12 in Boston, that's for sure.

Alvin, you sold those cars voluntarily, IIRC. And it's not like they weren't replaced by others just as fun. Especially that CS once you stuff the ALPINA triple webers and close ratio five speed in.

Enjoy the sway bars!

Maybe, maybe not. Certainly less "body work" up here. But I'm not sure which bitchiness factor is worse..........

There are over a dozen Carrera's of 993, 996 or 997 vintage in our parking lot every day (when the stock is up over 1700% in the last 10 years, it makes for an interesting parking lot).

So Cal is 993 heaven. The joke is how do you see a couple of 993s? Go to Northern California.

Correction ... So Cal is 996/997 Country ... more Bling ...

Northern California is 993 Heaven ....

I would take my 993TT to San Fran, would be a blast to drive there....

except I don't want to be caught having to launch the car on one of the 40-degree hills at a stop sign. That's a stop sign on every corner. Charred clutch smells expensive.
