Can my son and i come stay with you? Twice a year. Once in Summer and Once in the Winter. We are clean people and at least one of us has good conversation skills

Which ski resort is closest to you? We went to Vail, Beaver Creek and Keystone in Feb 2020 just before Covid hit. Great times. We loved the chill feel of Beaver Creek. Vail got WAY TOO BUSY for us on the weekend. The bowls on Wednesday were pretty awesome.

I could only imagine driving my 996 around the mountains of Colorado. Love your license plate, its true.

And just so we stay really far off topic. Winter Park is my fav CO ski site.

Tell me the 996.1 aero car isn't one of the greatest 911's of all time.

Seen here on Rennlist home page it's making the newer GT3 look pedestrian.

The elephant ears, the aero package, the lines.

Fire 🔥! They’re both awesome but agree the distinctive headlights on the 996 really set it apart. The lines of the narrow body are just so pure.

Default Dead of winter in the Midwest

Had to scratch an itch by checking in on the daily this morning. Daily except for the salty snowy dangerous roads of winter

The temperature rose above freezing for a few hours the day before so I couldn't pass up a wash opportunity. The shine doesn't last long when you daily drive but boy does it feel especially great to drive while it's so clean.

The roof down isn't just for the photo - if it's warmer than -25°C and not raining or snowing, I crank the heater and seat warmers and enjoy the breeze. If you have a cab you should try it, it's surprisingly comfortable.

That center console delete was the mod I always needed (long legs) but that never occurred to me to do until now. Thanks for the inspiration.

Good bye stock 17" chrome wheels. you served your purpose for the first 23 years of your life. I think it's time to remove the Ferrari banner. My Challenge Stradale is gone.
