Well, the dream has finally come true. My father raised me from the back seat of his 911. When I got to big to fit in the back seat, he had to move on to getting bigger cars. But he never stopped talking about his love for Porsche. Like Father, like Son. Come race day, we would sit in front of the TV, yelling and cheering on our favorite Porsche, as he would tell of the "Good Old Days" of watching 917/30's rocket around the Riverside Raceway, in the 70's. When I got old enough, he was finally able to get back into the drivers seat of a Porsche. For the past 10 years now, he has had several, including a 996 C2, 996 Turbo, 997 Turbo, and the latest is his new 2010 GT3(This is one wicked Porsche). We recently had the opportunity to go to the Monterey Historics, where Porsche was the featured mark. I fell in love with the 935. Now, I'm finally situated in life to be able to climb into the drivers seat of a Porsche myself. The choice was between a '96 993 C4S, or a '87 930. I just couldn't take my eye's off the beautiful red paint, and those sexy wide hips of the 930. The gentlemen I bought the car from, took me for a ride, and when I finally pealed myself off the seat and could talk again, I said something like " S-s-s-Sold". Here it is, my first Porsche.
