I don't like to drive without it. I also have a plug with the display on it so the unit remains dark on the dash but for some reason that plug doesn't work in the 911 so I use the regular plug.
Of course, I always drive the speed limit and follow all traffic laws. Among those rare moments when I may have lost concentration resulting in a slight increase in speed, the detector has helped to keep me out of trouble. Except for the time when I was nailed from behind at an onramp at ever popular Fincastle,VA. And the time when another one tailed me and used his speedo. The only thing I detected was his lights in my rearview mirror.

Great photos, Michael! Thanks for posting them. As you can imagine, I'm green with envy. I drove for 10 hours in our Honda Odyssey - not quite as fun as what you guys were doing this morning. I'm an addict when it comes to our Saturday morning gatherings!
I'll be back to the Bean & Bagel with a vengeance next Saturday.
By the way, those stories about your past run-ins with the Polizei make me cringe.
After being away for 7 days, I'm taking the Porsche out tomorrow come rain or shine.

Hi Michael,
I had a great time... If you had not told me you were lost, I wouldn't have know it... I've gone through that myself a few times when exploring new routes!
See you in two weeks... Next week I am taking my group to our yearly Tail of the Dragon Run.

Polishing Porsche; Bagel Withdrawl!
It's Tuesday, and I'm glazing and waxing my 996 - I'm excited to see how it turns out. Mmmmm....shiny...
On another note, my wife told me that the ol' Bean & Bagel is not open - don't know whether it's for remodeling or if it's permanently closed! I leave town for a couple weekends, and look what happens!
I'm now scoping out another Cary/Apex location for our Saturday morning get-together. The primary criteria are:
- Cary or Apex address
- Big, no-ding parking lot
- Great coffee
- Breakfast reasonably priced
Is that so much to ask???
More to come.

I may have a replacement location for our Saturday morning gathering:
Manhattan Bagels at 970 High House Rd, Cary NC 27513
It's at the intersection of High House and Cary Pkwy.
I still need to find out what time they open on Saturdays. But, the parking lot and location seemed to be well-suited to our get-together.
Let me know what you think.

Where do you find these animated smilies???
As for the Manhattan Bagel location, my only reservation is that it's about 10-15 minutes from the back roads and twisties that I'm familiar with.
We could always move to the other side of Apex Peakway (where Bean & Bagel was located) and try the Bruegger's Bagels. It's not very big, but there's plenty of parking lot. Brueggers is right across the street from the cafe-formerly-known-as-Bean&Bagel.
In September, there will be a McDonald's up by Randy Hayward at 64 and 15. Maybe we'll try that in the future - I couldn't help myself!

I scoped out both locations and I decided on Bruegger's Bagels in Apex. Here's the reasons why:
- They're right near the original Bean & Bagel location (just on the other side of hwy 55, next door to Harris Teeter)
- There's ample parking
- We are just as close to the country roads and twisties as we were at the B&B.
- They open at 6am, so I can actually get less sleep on a Saturday morning if I so choose (I must be out of my mind)
A couple of negatives:
- We can't see our cars as easily from the windows of the Brueggers; not intolerable.
- They don't have espresso based coffees - I know that sounds ridiculous, but I love a latte
- It's quite a bit smaller than the B&B. But, there are never more than 7-8 of us, so that shouldn't be a problem unless their Saturday morning business before 10am is huge (I doubt it).
Here's the address:
760 W. Williams St. in Apex
You'll see the Wendy's and the Harris Teeter from W. Williams. Drive past Cinelli's and Bruegger's is in the corner. You'll probably see a very nicely polished black 996 with an aero kit.
See you in the morning. I'll be there as early as 7:30am. If anyone is up for a drive afterward, I'm more than ready for one!
