Default Porsche Therapy part 2

I’ve previously posted about the therapeutic benefits/stress relief driving my 996 provides and i truly appreciated the kind responses posted as well as others posting of their similar experience.

I’m currently sitting in Minneapolis airport after spending this past week at the world famous Mayo Clinic, accompanying my daughter as she seeks answers to chronic medical issues. I hope to make it home before dark in order to go on a spirited drive and recharge my internal battery.

That said, i know we post both serious and humorous things on the 996 forum and sometimes personalities clash and insults fly but in the overall scheme of things we all are lucky to have the resources and most importantly, health, to pursue our passion for pcars. After spending a week at Mayo IMSB failure, oil/coolant intermix, and any of the other modes of failure should be the worst thing that ever happen to any of us. Puts everything into perspective.

Go drive your car, celebrate your health and the health of your 996.
