1st Drive Since Last October!
Been pretty busy with selling my house and moving, then building a new shop and garage so my car has been sitting since I think, last October.
Finally took a run back south and picked it up on Sunday. Took it for a drive today, about 70 miles. No good twisties or any thing, just rural country roads to town and back.
I had forgotten how nice these cars are to drive. I usually drive my diesel pickup or a Jeep GC Overland which are both very nice but completely different than the Porsche.
I had convinced myself that I was going to sell the car after getting settled in here but I think I will be keeping it. We have some incredible roads around here and I'm only a half hour from the Sierra's. Really looking forward to putting the top down and going for some spirited runs in the mountains!

Congrats man. I bet it felt great to get behind the wheel again. Did you do any prophylactic car prep before taking her out of mothballs? Was battery still good, etc?
