Tso, believe it or not, I had Porsche of Taiwan install the scoop for me beause I wanted to make sure the color match. Yes, I do go up Yang Ming Mountain once in a while and absolutely love the view and twisty roads up there.

Let's just say that for the amount of money I paid for my GT3, I could have bought almost three GT3s in the U.S. And yes, parking space is outrageously price at over USD60,000 in Taipei.

I usually do not drive very fast on publice highways but a year ago during Chinese New Year holidays in which the highways in northern Taipei was desserted because everyone had gone out of town and I was actually stopped for speeding one time in my GT3 when I was on the highway reaching speeds of over180 km but thankfully only clocked at speed of 130km because I had slowed down as one cop in their BMWs came running out on the highway waving me down with a red flag. The funny part was that I had to remind them to hurry up with the ticket because they had become so mesmerized by the full roll cage and fire extinguisher in my car (I have club sport version of the car).

Yeah, my brother chose to remain in Taiwan and never came to the U.S. When I told him the news about my GT2, he couldn't belive how "cheap" it is here compares to Taiwan.

I haven't been back in Taiwan since I was 13, before the military service passport restriction age of 14, so it's been almost 20 years.

I heard that guai guai is now up to 100 NT, that's just crazy talk.

Never had the chance to go to TAS (proud to say that I went to a public school in Philly, class of 88'). Though my two sons are TAS students now.

Yes, how I wish we could buy cars here with U.S. prices. So that makes you 34 years old. We're close, I'm 36. Iwent to the U.S. when I was 5. I left the U.S. after grad school and been in Taiwan now for almost 13 years now.
