Can You Guess Where?

For this weekend's contest, here are some photos of a notable Porsche location. Can you guess where? If no one calls it, I might add a more obvious photo. First one with the correct answer wins.... great esteem!!

Brainerd?

MRM · 03-30-2019, 05:25 PM

It sure looks like the area around Brainerd, but I don’t know what connection Brainerd has specifically with Porsche. I’ve certainly never seen a Porsche collection like that anywhere near Brainerd, but I may not be fully informed.

Elkhart Lake?

Not entirely random guess

I googled the 036 and 157 cars.

Are you in the mid-west picking up that 'stang?

LOL

(I would have guessed Brainerd, as well, from the bonus picture. But other than some Car & Driver editor racing/winning in some street stock 944, I'm also not familiar what that track has in connection with Porsche.)

Not Emorys. I've been there. Down the street.

What’s the name of the shop? The only guy I know that is known for 356 outlaws is Rod.

Rod's dad Gary started the "outlaws" thing in Oregon. Rod moved to where the deep pockets money was.

To the pics? I'll guess Wayne's garage...

The answer was already revealed above. The pictures are from Connecticut. That explains the cold weather and tree cover but it doesn’t explain the Minnesota license plate.

I love this thread!

Where am I

At Dan Emoroy’s
His name is Rod
The guy in Wyoming?
He moved to LA

SoThats what happened to the guy with all those cars in Wyoming
He changed his name and moved to LA

I always wondered

Rockfan4, Congratulations! I guess we have to give it to you, since the 'official rules' don't prohibit 'google' (they will in future)! :-)

You win the Pelican Player Award, granting positive plosive public plaudits and esteem from fellow Pelicans, in whatever measure they choose to grant it!

Favorable mention goes to MRM for positing the perspicacious and pertinent question pertaining to the car from Minnesota!

Thanks for playing!

Final pics, with Dan himself placed in the cockpit.

I recall MN plates having blue numbers and letters and would bet Brainerd has a fair bit more snow cover on the ground and not so many Maple trees.

I took the CT license plate on the black Boxster to be from Minnesota. They do look similar but the difference is obvious. Right now the weather and ground around here looks a lot like the picture. The snow has mostly melted but it's still pretty cold and dreary. My wife and I have often commented on how much CT looks like Minnesota and Wisconsin. Brainerd isn't far enough north to be covered with pines the way Minnesota is farther north. They have a lot of ash, maple and oak.
