Sometimes we get caught up in S vs non S, targa vs cab vs coupe etc but fail to realize that every single 911 is a masterpiece. Thanks for reminding us this fact with your feel good story. Read your story last night and will give mine a big hug when she comes back all clear bra'd.

Thanks for posting!
I receive my first 911 tomorrow and I can't wait! I'll probably wash it and then park it to just take in the sight, smell, sound, etc. Nothing better than reading the cars manual parked in a parking lot somewhere with it running...
Man how will I sleep tonight!?!?

the statement that it doesn't matter which Porsche model it is runs very true...I was out terrorizing the local foothills one beautiful day and had to stop by the office on my way back to town...as I was getting out of my car a couple of youngsters piled out of their moms van across the street, looked both ways for traffic (good kids) and came running over to my car...the oldest kid (10 or 11) said "wow, what a great Porsche" not what a great GT3 and asked politely if he could take a photo with his phone...after he took several photos I asked him if he wanted to sit in it...you should have seen the look on his face as he asked me to take a photo of him sitting in my car...as I was walking to my office I passed his mom and she smiled and said "my son has great taste in cars"....I smiled back and said "yes, he does, he also has expensive taste in cars"...she said, "yes, but I intend to use that to keep him interested in school"...smart mom too...I smiled the rest of the day..it was a great drive in the hills but this experience topped that

Ubiquitous it may be, but there’s a good reason for that. Luckily in my neck of the woods it is still looked upon as somewhat of an exotic sports car and this makes the driver look 
. But the bottomline is that I got it to satisfy my desire and not for how it make me look in the eyes of others.
