Default San Francisco - YOU WIN!

I'm in SF for the weekend and I have seen more 993s in two days than I've probably seen total in my life. It's amazing - they're all beautiful! There was a great black C(4?)S parked on Haight Street with the license plate "ZUFENHASN" or similar. This town is like a Porsche museum. I am yet to see a turbo, however.

But San Fran - you are without a doubt the 993 capital of America!

You show you ignorance by not mentioning the Pasadena area. I see at least one, other than my own, every time I go out. This morning I saw a Guards Red TT on my way to breakfast and a silver coupe in the market's parking lot after breakfast.

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

I lived in SF from '97 to '01... definitely more 911's than in San Diego where I was from '01 to '07... and trillions more than I see in Portland OR where I live now

I was in San Fran (union Square) 3 weeks ago for meetings and was blown away by all the 911 sightings. New, old, and everything in between, It was also 74 degrees...nice.

From a suburb of San Francisco. Enough 993 for you?

Enjoy.

I was in San Juan Capistrano eating lunch earlier today and in the span of 30 minutes or so, I saw numerous Caymans, Boxters, 997s, 996s, Cayennes and a 993 TT and a few 993 cabs. There isn't a day I drive that I don't see several P-Cars.

Even saw a brand new Murcielago on the way home yesterday going west on Sepulveda, all black, man what a beautiful machine!!

In this part of New York State I'm lucky to see another Porsche (of any type)
on the road most days. And in the dead of winter forget about it...

And since then how many of those cars have changed hands? Too bad Jochen's then-just-purchased is hidden over there in your right hand garage. Compare THAT car with how it looks/drives now!

I should have taken a photo at the shop yesterday. The C4S, the yellow car, the '73, the '94 cab getting its engine pulled, even the shell of the wrecked RSA #1. And my neighbor the cabinet guy brought his Murcielago down (instead of the GT3).
