    Got it.

    I've taken a tour of the stadium during a corporate junket...un-fucking-real. Gorgeous.

    And thanks for your service as well.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    As long as it's non-smoking, I don't plan to keep it. Just drive hard.

    y'know

    Big Porsche fan here. I sold both my 1995 993 and my 1994 964 turbo this year. Been kind of half way searching for a 997 GT3 but not putting much effort in it lately.

    I like the concept of renting very much ... had several Porsche's in the past and loved them ... always concerned about scratches and dings though.

    i love sports cars. at one time, to save my porsche..i bought a Mazdaspeed3. fast, wicked fast. strange torque steer thing, but i adapted fine.

    then i needed to go hunting. i took my wife's subaru forester. when i got home, it took me all day to detail her car. she stated right there, i needed to sell one of my cars and buy a truck. i sold the mazda and bought my tacoma.

    now i sold my porsche. first car i had that MADE money. :). the time was right. car passed smog, but it was this dark spectre in my life..one day it wouldnt. especially with how they test the vacumn of the fuel system. an old porsche 911 has probably 100 feet of vacumn lines.. no thanks.

    i need to wrench on a beater. i am looking for an FJ40 to work on. i think 4x4's just fit my life better.

    Nice man. I used to own a Subaru STI prior to my tacoma, I miss the sports car life - however not enough to ever DD another one lol.

    The new boxters have the flat 4 rumble similar to the STI's do. Incredible little car.

    My buddy owned a MS3 and actually modified the padding in the driver's door so that when the torque steer hit, he could just jam his left elbow into the padding to keep it straight LOL

    Check out Fusion Motorsports in Chatsworth, CA. They build the finest GT350/GT500s on the west coast. A family friend owns a red one with the big 427, thing is killer.
