That's a fu sho!

It was such a blast in your shop today....imagine...Porsche mechanics exited about what they do and what they work on and wanting to know about the cars and the owners of the cars they work on. It was a unique experience fir ne. I got so much more out of it than you guys did that's for sure!

I left with a smile...especially after hitting 1.20 on the BAR with no check engine light as I passed up the GT350 with ease.

Thats awesome. We love talking to customers who are so interested in their cars. So many people drive it because they can. And it isn't just the few you talked to today, it's our whole Porsche team. We love these cars. Is your car chipped or only the exhaust? Next Saturday you should drop by a place called Paragon Motorcars. They are at 11211 East Arapahoe Road, just east of I25 and arapahoe. Its a monthly get together of car guys. I'm good friends with the owner over there and we are trying to get a nice meet together. Coffee and donuts, usually some red bull too. Lots of enthusiasts with awesome cars like yourself. Always a good time.

They also sit on 2.5 acres and don't have the vehicle theft per capita you're probably used to but short of that...yeah, you're probably right about the comparison.

Can you believe the 1,284 square foot home I sold in the gheto of Encinitas sold for $684,000 last November? My neighboor told me it was for sale by foreclosure at 513K. The market scares me right now!

The day before the pics...two feet of snow. The day of the pics, 64 degrees...today hit 73. I think (Hope?) the snow is over for a while.
..You called me out and you win. ME= But this is San Diego county - If you stay north of Mission valley, you don't have much worry in most "upward mobility" neighborhoods.

Its the game. You buy high because you had to sell high, unless you had more then one property to choose from when you had to sell high. I sold high and bought high in August 05. I can wait it out, hedge it out, and make sure I pounce when others are cowering in the corner. What I do is housing market-bubble-pop-proof. Three houses in "FCLSR" status in my little subdivision alone. Want some deals? Come on down to Sunny San Diego!

Call it a bit of regressive envy of all that space and brick building specs where you are, which I assume is east of Brainerd. From a Chicago born boy, that looks like Naperville or Lake Forrest in the spring time.

Back on topic.

Too expensive for my blood! Could not afford to go back with same lifestyle. Same lifestyle in San Diego would make us homeless! Plus...wouldn't be able to have the 996TT. You in San Diego and with 996TT...means you're pimping to me! My hats off to you.

Will also say San Diego is one of the most beautiful cities in the country in my eyes. You have it all there. Sun, sea, mountains...all year around. Any and everything to do at any time... And most importantly, two hundred Porsche tunning shops within a 75 mile radius. We have one in a tri state area!

It's actually Parker. 20 minutes SouthEast of Denver. A gated community called the Pinery Timbers. It's La Costa for Colorado. Still no Porsche shops here!

And I hear ya...from Waukegan here myself originally.

Hey kuuner - I think you should have your avatar lean over next to the new tires and take a photo... just to give us some perspective on size.

Q...beautiful car. Let me know when you get bored with that tire/rim setup.

Did you have to roll your fenders or did they tuck in just right?

kuuner,

the wheels fit perfectly. they do not touch the fenders at all.
they cleared the coilovers without needing spacers
...all good

the irony is, I dont particulalrly like the look of the wheels......
