Default 997.1 GT3 RS on a lift in Dana Point garage....

... are you a Rennlister?

I drove up to grab lunch in Dana Point today and decided to drive by my old house. I was shocked to see an RS on a lift in the garage with a very appropriate personalized plate. Ironically, that's not the first Green .1 RS to have lived in that house.

If you're on RL, please drop me a PM. Would love to hear what you have done to the old house and about your car.

Todd

Yes, lots of RS cars in OC but I thought it was pretty cool that it was the house I used to own and the same car I owned while I lived there.
not only is it cool, it’s an insane coincidence! How many green .1 rs cars are in existence? And of all the houses in all of the nation, your old one houses one!!!!! You must knock on that door! That could be your next lifelong friend! You two obviously have insanely similar tastes! Only risk is that you knock on that door and meet the alternate version of your self living your alternate reality and the universe gets upended as a result, and we all die, but I’d still give it a shot!

I was just passing through after grabbing some to-go food from a place I like. I live about 45 minutes south now.

Which restaurant? I'm not too far away and grew up in the area.

I haven't seen a green RS around but there are probably a lot of RS cars hiding in south OC garages.

I dug a little deeper and I actually think its the couple that bought the house from me about 6 years ago. I'm going up there again tomorrow.... taking the kids whale watching... so maybe I'll have time to drop a note in the mailbox. The owner would have seen my old car in the garage when he looked at the house back when we were selling.

Saw a really nice 997.2 GT3 with black wheels and ceramics at Seaside Reef last night... anyone?

ScottArizona - PCA DE at AMP on Jan 16.... I'm driving over to attend (and I'll be fully vaccinated by then).

Nice! I won’t be vaccinated but I do have confirmed igg antibodies (had no idea I even had Covid!). I think I’m going to run a 100 mile ultra marathon that weekend. if not I’ll stop by and say “hi”!

Can't leave the house without seeing a dozen RS cars in South OC. Fortunately, its generally a friendly crew.

Spend some time thinking about what you will do if you knock on the front door and your wife answers it...

That's a pretty crazy coincidence. I'd HAVE to knock some day. I couldn't help myself.

Doubt I'll knock but it is a cool coincidence.

Yeah, I always liked that pic. Saw a similar scene this morning when I ran south through Solana Beach and there was a very nice 997.2 GT3 parked in front of a cute beach house. I keep seeing that car at Seaside Reef around sunset.
