A week ago Thursday, it was off to Southern California via I 5 as 101 was closed due to the terrible fires. Rather boring road unless driving an RS and getting a little exercise (wink - wink). Overnight in Pasadena to avoid evening traffic in traversing LA to Laguna Hills (wedding). Everyone there (non commute hrs.) drives 85mph..... and that's OK with me! Early return via 101 (open by Sunday) for Bay Area as Rams playing in afternoon and need to avoid traffic. Stopped in Buellton for breakfast. Smoke from Santa Barbara to Pismo Beach as no sun seen. Ash all over car. Yeah, with this extended drive, that "wonderful sound" can be tiring so earplugs were part of the day.

Took the 4.0 out for a drive earlier this evening before the sun went down, man I love this car...

Amazing ! All of them.

I am also one of those "Driven and Enjoyed" crew. These wonderful machines are mode to be driven and driven properly. Sun, rain even snow.

Any of these 911' will out live us any way so what this obsession with preservation.

I personally think to be a true petrolhead is to have a mint looking car even when it has 100K miles. That's the craft.

No talent is required to keep a 1k mile car pristine other than resisting the urge do use it.

This is why all my cars have travelled 8 different European countries including many famous race tracks. I prefer 100 smiles per gallon

I just got back from an holiday weekend in Los Angeles area - pacific palisades: I would drive a 911 every single day if I lived there.

Now back doing my best to move there

It's funny I drive the 4.0 thinking it's "under the radar" for a 911 and people def know it and go nuts for it

stopped at a Starbucks with my daughter and both of us were amazed at how many people were taking pix of it. Even young kids !

Ever since Porsche freed up their online license for video games and got back into Forza, the kids have been more educated on correct model ID.

I miss my black 4.0, must say I did a lot of DE's and street driving before letting it go to another RL'er

Well, that's an easy one. Los Angeles / socal. I've seen people commuting in anything you can imagine including multi-million dollar classic porsches and ferraris and brand new hypercars, in any traffic and weather condition you can imagine (it can snow and rain storm pretty hard in certain places in the county).

^^^good to know. In fairness I haven't spent much time in SoCal. But in general it seems like the bubble-wrap, "my car has fewer miles than yours and has never seen rain" is more of a US car culture than what I've seen in the UK.

isv

you haven't been in the UK very long if you think it's any different here....

Jrtaylor9

I have not been here long. That's true. I've just seen some pretty insane cars consistently street parked in my neighborhood that I would have never seen parallel parked in NY and for sure TX (but that's expected because everyone had a garage in Houston). And I've seen them driven in all weather, traffic and times of day.

So, let me restate: compared to Houston and NY, London seems to have less of a garage queen mentality. I'm sure there's the CnC-only and trailered concourse crowd here too.

How was that about wife and ride in the warehouse? Here you go:

pissedpuppy

beasue that beats the **** out of driving pretty much any other daily driver

except, of course, the 918 I saw on the highway in London in the rain...PROPER!
