Default One Last Drive,... Selling 2010 997.2 GT3

Decided to take a much needed last road trip with the 7.2 GT3 to pioneer "Fishcation."

Drove from Vancouver, Canada to Seattle, WA to Big Sur, CA, and finally to Napa/Sonoma, CA. Sprinked in with visiting new tracks, great back roads, and meeting new & seeing old friends.

Pictures, in chronology:

- BC GT3s at the Ridge (w/TargaTim 7.2 RS and Steve H's 991 GT3)
- Cannery Row in Monterey, CA
- Cars I've seen before at Winterfest Sebring (991 GT3 and 991 GT3 Cup) from Naples, FL
- 991 GT3 (w/24Chromium x2)
- Pebble Beach (x2)
- Sonoma/Infineon Food Court
- Twins at Sonoma/Infineon (w/ChrisF)
- Last Drive (w/ChrisF)

Why "Fishcation"? ChrisF, mooty, and I enjoyed a nice vacation ending dinner.

Some pictures for the world-famous TRAKCAR:

- '13 Kenzo Estate Asatsuya (favorite Sauv Blanc from Napa; pairs great w/sushi)
- Toro & Caviar
- A5 Wagyu
- Smoked Bonito (Erik - the Bonito's are GREAT eating!)

Super meeting other Rennlisters as well. Thank you for everyone's hospitality. Perfect send off for the 7.2 GT3; car is just amazing!

Here's the For Sale Thread

mooty has the car and will handle all questions

No idea. Wife says one car at a time. Didn't like my answer after I tracked the GT2 at Thunderhill.

Wife: "Which one are you going to keep?"

Me: "I still don't know yet."

I must say that I am getting old and lazy.

Thanks Chris. You guys were amazing hosts. Super thankful and was able to really enjoy a vacation. Very cool we got to get the 7.2's out together at Sonoma. Priceless memories!

Thanks for stopping by for a chat! Small world as I've seen your car with its past owner in FL. Wicked color!

Sushi Ran in Sausalito.

Think I'm going to miss this 7.2 GT3 personally,... but don't know until you try.

Dang, I'd hate to see what real sushi is if the "fake" stuff is 13 dollars a PIECE!

Going for sushi in my hood is like getting a good Cuban meal in Hayward, you adjust expectations.
I'm sure downtown Bay it exists like good sushi exists in Miami but you have to know..

stephen, chrisF, mike 996flt6, james, me we got some very picky foodies here. we eat everything, but if we get in the mood, we get picky :-)

after dinner, we go different place for desserts, the more important part of a meal.

btw, you need to ping armando. he has new stuff. the "lemon circle".... the pope would have sinned.
