It's Ferdinand 's birthday. Go drive it. Am taking the back way to the grocery store, 15 miles of winding mointain back roads or 1.5 miles through the gated community. It a no brainer.

Nope. I don't like its left the garage in over 3wks. It's my third choice of car these days. Motorcycle first and if I need a car instead of the bike due to passengers or cargo, it's the electric fiat 500. If my wife needs that, I'll take the Porsche.

Its not not that I don't live it the most, because I do, it's just that I'm driving other stuff!

No real driving for me until spring, time to sleep for my beast. Just got it home this Saturday and now I can't wash it for 2 weeks. The xpel needs to have its time to set properly. My OCD is driving me nuts, BUT...these ceramic coatings and stuff sure do some extraordinary things so I'm in no hurry to wash it.

Pic below is taken right when I pulled into the garage. I drove it for 4 hours home in heavy rain, was stuck behind big trucks and what not. All that dirt but it couldn't attach to the car, unreal!

Same deal here, although it's really about free time on the weekend, do I ride the Harley or take the Porsche out. This past weekend, the weather was awfully nice, so I ended up on the Harley both Sat. for a few hours, and again yesterday for an hour.

The 19th falls on Turbo Tuesday, as well, this year.

I drove her yesterday, though.

Made the commute today. From where it snows to where it blows.




It is actually a fairly relaxing drive when I leave early, only saw 1 other 911 today, seal grey 996 Carrera.

Drove it yesterday, today and will again tomorrow....right up until the salt hits the ground.

Weather was beautiful in SF today, I picked up my 4 year old from Pre-K in my Turbo.

He was wiggling around in his car seat and found a matchbox 996 Turbo under his behind, he forgot it was there and had a good laugh.
