Where the "F" are all of the cars? ..it is getting so rare to see any type of 911 that I am fearing that there are thousands held hostage in their respective garages. WTF?? why are you guys not driving your cars

That thing must've sounded glorious in the tunneled part where you took the shots.

Come to think about it, it's NYC traffic so he probably was doing 2k revs in 3rd gear all the way from south street to the GW

Funny, I have seen only one '3 on the road here, despite south Florida being a major Porsche hotbed. Where I live one sees 5-10 911s and sundry other Porsches every day (many Panameras of late), but no GT3s...

August....wow!...like a heroine junkie going cold turkey!! You must be really busy!

just took the RS for a blast before hibernation as it seems we will be seeing some of that nasty white stuff pretty soon...ugh.!! I hate winter....(and lets keep the comments from the west coast about your weather to a minimum!!)

I'll just have to console and warm myself over a couple of glasses of Aberlour...to start

Down here I see all sorts of Porsche cars daily, a lot really. A few GT3's but I hardly ever see any RS's.

If I could drink without getting a headache I could go for a couple of Duvels or Delirium Tremmens. But my vice is reefer, need to hurry up and legalize it.

Just go to a track day, or Monticello Motor Club (always 3-4 of those there). People who own this cars around here have more than 1 car. I'm the rare few that daily drives (winter included) this type of car.
