Thnx, and yea I gotta say that driving with friends or even better with the love of my life (for 33yrs now) is so much more enjoyable. We had walkie talkie's too, and the banter between us was priceless. Felt like we were still in college,... busting each others *****,... looks like you missed a shift there,... why were you lagging behind in that curve,... your a$$ looks amazing from back here,... come up along side me here & let me look at you,... & on & on & on...
It was just the two of us on the roads we chose, so we could really push it. We used a new driving App on our phones, so we setup the twisty route days ahead of time, and both knew exactly when the next turn was, and could see the twisty sections coming up. It really made the day easy & very enjoyable to follow each other. It's called Scenic and was built for motorcycle riders (audio works well for them in their helmets), and it has rich with features, most importantly the ability to select "Extra Curvy" backroads, "Avoid Highways", selecting start & end points, then allowing us to stretch their suggested backroad route with new via points & re-calculate. 2+ hours for each leg leading to/from the crab feast, great driving (& we only hit one spot where we had no idea it was a gravel road, so we had to adjust & go around it. Was easy to get back on track after that too).
mix that with crabs, good food, and 120 other Porsche lovin' commrades meeting up at the crab feast & Saturday made for a great day.... Sunday was no slouch either. The cars are now back in the garage & dirty dirty. Next on the agenda is to spend an evening washing & detailing them. I love every aspect of owning these cars. My garage time is my therapy (that and playing ice hockey) keeps me young.
...what XrussianX said... you're a lucky man to be able to enjoy this passion w/ your sig other. Mine has zero interest in going out for a ride in the GT3. I generally have to twist her arm to agree to take it to dinner. Oddly she loves driving our '99 Miata as often as the weather allows for top-down driving. I think the GT3 is just a bit too 'intense' for her as a passenger (even though I try to drive it 'smooth' when she's in the car). Oh well, looks like Steve wins the "Most sportscar friendly wife" award!

Yea, the combo of these two cars is perfect for my wife & I. We both literally reach for both sets of keys and hesitate cuz they are both so much fun to drive, AND very different from each other. It's amazing to me that there is 20 yrs between them, and even tho I would say the GT3 has a lot more "in your face" intensity immediately upon jumping in,... the 964T has been in our family for 15 yrs & we know it so well,... so jumping in that car and really getting in tune with its character / personality is quick & easy to do for us.
Thnx for the "award" Jon ( literally on my FIRST date with her, I probably over-did-it with car-guy chatter and questions,.. cuz at the time I had no idea if she was actually "into" cars. it was a must-know for me)
