I call BS! You didn't get that car! No way your wife would let you with a new baby!


Now when are we going for a drive? It's dumping snow up here but once the roads are clear let's go! I can only buy snow tires for so many cars.

Teflon - it's not snowing down here! If you can make it to 470, you're good! Haha. I promise it's real. It's a 4-seater family car - how could my wife argue?

AND, I'll have everyone know that a 14 inch pizza fits perfectly snugly in the luggage compartment. If only I could figure out how to keep all the toppings from sliding to one side of the pizza...

I'm loving this machine. It's addictive!

Wow, what a beauty. I'm glad you noticed the rough idle as I was wondering the same myself. Tach is steady but just a few little hiccups at stoplights now and then. Good to know that's pretty much normal.

Roads were fine this morning but more snow expected tonight so I took the G -wagen instead. What about this weekend? Saturday looks like it'll be nice! I should have my new wheels and tires by then too.

Great car, great road trip! Boardwalk is my dealer and was a pleasure to deal with when I got my 997 last Fall.

Here are some shots after a fresh detail. Now we're talking! Love this machine...

I've had so many fun moments already. Today, I pulled onto a local highway and saw an orange GT3 up ahead. I ripped through traffic to get behind him and we both ended up stopped at a light, waiting to turn left. I saw the driver's face as he glanced in his left side view mirror and noticed my car. He let out a big grin, as did I. That GT3 sounded nasty as he pulled away!
