Newest addition to the family
Just got a new addition to the family - 2009 Carrera S Cab in speed yellow. Returning after an hiatus from Porsches of 13 years due to teenage son insurance rates and college expenses. My wife agreed that our new house needed a Porsche to drive through the wine country topless, the car that is.
We must have more then one picture of this beauty though.

Thanks for the warm welcomes! This will be my seventh, first water cooled one. My wife says it does not sound the same, more of a muffled roar.
This one is a PDK with PCM 3.0 no nav, "Men don't get lost we go on adventures!". 19" Turbo II wheels, I remember when getting 7&8 x16"s was a big deal. Yellow stitching on a full black leather interior with yellow seat belts and dash trim strips.
More photos to follow.

Three Wheelin'
Hey, generally, where in Napa are you? I'm on Main above Morimoto. Love SY (it was the color of my first 911). You probably know this already but . . . 121 (Montecito Rd.) to 128 is a very nice drive. I don't know the roads too well going over to Winters via Putah Creek but if they are decent that would be a great drive too. There are typically fewer bicycles in this area, at least to around Lake Hennessy (and if you see one it is likely to be me on it). Stay away from Mt. Veeder, either on Dry Creek or Mt. Veeder Rd. as the roads are really crappy to even ride a bike on, and too many tourists on Trinity/Oakville grade. Past Calistoga over to Healdsburg via Jim Town seems like it should have potential but I haven't been on that route yet. Any derivation off of Petrified Forest Road (just north of Calistoga) is also fun and a great way to pass the time while heading to the Coast. Sad, in a way, to say I ride my bike about 10 times more than I drive my GTS here; I always think about how great the roads would be to drive but after about 100 to 120 Kms in the saddle, I'm just too beat up to get behind the wheel. I will keep my eye out for you while I ride so if you see some crazy cyclist with a red helmet waving at you it will likely be me!
Best.
Best.
