From one (former) Utoid to another, well done.
Try the Big Cottonwood canyon road, too.

I am amazed how many people are bent on making an extra few dollars over taking early retirement. I guess they'll think differently during their final moments when time can not be bought.

Great post and as someone already mentioned, I rarely read posts that are that long.

BTW, I too was looking at F cars, but I knew I'd never be happy till I owned a 911.

I'm looking forward to the pics.

Excellent writing and story. Congratulations...I hope I can muster up a story half as good upon entering the 993 realm.

Yes, nice story. Agree with you 100%

I see lots of F- cars @ MMC. All the super rich dudes have almost every model.
Some just sit in the garage never turning a wheel for fear of maintenance/repair issues.
Some puff oil a lot when on track. Some get driven every now & then- albeit not very fast except the one in the pic below. Its' a 175 + car on the long straight.

At the other end of the affordable spectrum there are a bevy of Porsche 993 tt's 993 variants in every form that get driven hard every day-almost never break & never puff oil. Most of the 993 GT2 clones & TT's can usually out run the F- cars. (driver's have something to do with that though)

For the Money- I'll take the Porsche's any day.

Which red car do you guys like?

Wow, what a bunch of horny bastards in this crowd! A guy mentions doing Stevie Nicks and a couple of hot blonde references and all of a sudden he is freakin' William Shakespeare. OK....I enjoyed it too. Thanks for posting, Utah....welcome to 993 group therapy

Your wife must be a) gorgeous & b) quite self-assured or c) very jealous of the "other woman" you keep in the garage!
