OMG!!! That line just made me fall off my chair I was laughing so hard. I bet you really HAD to do that ASAP. Carolyn stands to my bust, if that. She really is a true petite southern belle. There was no need for the seat to go back at all before a tall(er) person bought it. OH MY!!!
I am laughing at this because that is exactly what I said to my Dad on our drive home...including the exact words "southern belle" and noting even with her dog on her lap she wouldn't have been cramped!

The seat is now back, so I could reassure my gf she would be able to fit her 5'8" self in just fine

So how were your first couple of days with the 993? How many visits did you make to the garage? I practically slept in ours when we brought home my first one.

Enjoy your 993... as if I have to tell you to enjoy it. that's a no brainer.


Next you'll be buying a cab for the GF.


PS: Carolyn's dog wouldn't even take up and additional 3 inches of space or add more than 2 pounds to the weight to the car. he sure is a cute lil guy, but he sure didn't like Speedster. Speedster just looked at him with that "Whatever" look. I used to think Speedster was tiny. I guess not.

What'd you mean JoAnne? He slept out there the first night- fell asleep with the orbital polisher in his hand... mumbling something about swirls...

I'm sure he'll post some pix when it's all detailed. I just helped him buff about half of it. Looks like a new car! Can't figure out where he got the car gene

Hi JoAnne it's Gary from the Factory Werks Porsche Repair. I'm using Loren's logon to say hello.
Hope all is well with your health and Robert's. Call me some time at my new shop (714-746-4674).

GARY!!! You got it !!! I'm feeling way better since I got off of the mountain. WAY better!


So Kent ~~~ no pictures since the swirls have been removed? You guys have better weather than we've been having. Be very glad you out of here when you did.
Get out there and snap some shots!

I never gave up the CARRERA plate as I knew there would be a car it could go on again. I'm going to let him borrow it as it looks better on that than on a F-150! And it really doesn't belong on a GT3...

Boy JoAnne, you've been getting hammered lately- the radar has been busy down your way!! (and I don't mean police radar!)

Shoot! Even the police aren't out there in this horrid weather. It's BAD.
Be glad you picked the car up last weekend, the day AFTER the Tornado's and the Day BEFORE these non stop rains started.



He'll have to take more pictures after he gets that plate mounted on that gorgeous rear end.

hahaha yes, I would like Larry to see what taking care of the paint means I don't think he even realizes how just washing the car does not keep the paint pristine. Luckily, I had some some time to spend with the orbital!
