Steve 96C4S

So I've seen this before multiple times. Most all of us have, unless you're a newbie here. I was sending this link (above) to my neighbor tonight after he said he was on You Tube recently watching all the 996TT videos he could find before buying his car (he got it last week).

After deciding to spend the 6 min 40 secs to watch this video again just now, I realized tears were rolling down my face. How odd. Tears? Really? Why I wondered? And at the end, I burst out laughing (in joy I guess).

I imagine tears were rolling down my cheeks because... I really love that little car of mine and the video captures it's greatness and relates it to the other things we cherish.

"Like everything, LIFE is a journey. A journey that begins with a beat of a heart. And the voice that comes with it...the voice that we haven't yet been conditioned to ignore, so we listen to what it tells us. We follow where it leads us, we trust it, were children...we are happy, but somewhere between then and now, we lose touch with the voice, no matter how closely it whispers, or how loud it cry's.

Instead are ears are tuned to other things, like the stock reports, 6 o'clock news, then one day, putting the forks in the dishwasher or mowing the lawn, we happened to catch the glimpse of joy in our children's faces....and we REMEMBER, what it felt like.
Remember ....what it felt like to listen to that voice in our hearts...and go with it. Then suddenly out of nowhere this SPARK of wisdom occurs. It becomes very clear. It's NOT to late. Your heart's still speaking. All you have to do is LISTEN."

I get goosebumps just re-reading this. I think the hair on my neck just stood up, too.

Damn tootin'!

Thanks for posting this Steve. The last time I saw the video was at one of those sales kiosks in the Porsche exhibit in Toronto at the auto show when I was a dirt poor student in 1996.

I knew then what I know now.

This car would make it's way into my garage someday.

It took ten years...and that journey to get there is almost as good as the destination

You can't watch that one too many times.

My favoirite line is the one that says these cars "weren't created to be something to everyone but everything to someone."
