Sub, I'm glad you're enjoying your Dad's car so much. I love that car, and I hope to own one someday.

My Dad's been eyeing 997 coupes lately too, did your dad pay over $70k?

No idea.  I haven't asked.

More and more I drive this car, the more I think the perfect car is a C2S (or maybe 4) coupe.  If I owned one, I would drive it all year round.

***UPDATE***

I...managed...to...take... ... ....pictures!

Of course, now I have to put them on my computer.  I haven't successfully done than in FIVE years.

Now you simply need to upload them!

Congrats to your dad. The Porsche is (to me) still the best sportscar in the world. I don't give a damn that a GTR is faster and cheaper. A Porsche has its unique shape, its unique sound, it's fast and that together makes it the perfect car. Have fun with it!

Yes...It's not unordinary to go from, say, Boston to Providence to Hartford and back in one day, it's also not unusual to have to shoot out to Albany, Buffalo, Burlington, etc during a snow storm.

I thought you were still in college.  I have to ask, what in Sam Haim do you do?

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

I'd love to drive a GTR (saw my second one today, BTW) but not having a stick automatically makes it far less desirable than a 911 Turbo.

I think it's more like they fell into Submariner's hands and imploded.

I tried being nice. However, when he said that his Intrepid had a 4.0L from a Pacifica and struts from an SRT-8 Charger, I was done.

Back to the original topic: pics please!

You know what would be even better? A video of you doing a full throttle run with good quality audio.

He told me his car runs low 14s. In that case, my Subaru does too. :lol:
