:woohoo:
25 yrs ago i gave a young man a ride in my 930 Turbo Porshe...He was the son of the Contractor who was working on my house..
Today he is the Contactor working on my house renovation and he is now 37yrs old.
He came by my house to give me a ride in his new Porsche...
He took me for a spin and then let me drive his brand spanking new Silver Porsche Carrera GT..
It is the most awesome car i ever drove..It has only 200 miles on it and we both drove it north of 160 mph,,It gets up there in no time...I am Speechless.. :burnout: :burnout:

Porsches are my personal favorite. I want a 2001+ 996 Turbo real bad...

He's matured. I picture the V-man in a Ford GT40. Sort of a FORD connoisseur

A Porsche like that shows everyone you have money to burn.....A Mustang done up doesnt let on to anything. I will stick with the Stangs like Uncle Jimmy :)

My neighbors are always watching....thank god they have no clue how much old musclecars are worth
