Unbelievable
I just had to share this with those who could understand. I just got home from the war in Iraq. While I was gone, I was having what some would call "marital issues". Needless to say, I needed something to take my mind off of things, and it came in the form of a Guards Red 1975 911 Targa. Heres the best part: a co-worker of my fathers heard what I was going through, and GAVE ME THE CAR. It was sitting in my garage when I came home. Mr. Piccadio, if you ever get to read this; you have no idea how much you have changed my life. Thank you.

I believe there was another 911 "gift" on the board from a guy's college roomate. Life can be good sometimes...
I wouldn't know anything about those marital things :0 |

Congratulations on coming home and thank you for serving our country. Hopefully the Guards Red 911 will be put to good use and you can pick up some hot girls with it.

Welcome back, welcome to Pelican and sincere thanks for your service.
Congrats on the car, too.  In that most of us here are men and men are "visual" creatures, where are the pix? JP

Welcome home & thank you, everybody who has been in the war deserves a free 911 imo. If you were on the ground in Iraq, you deserve two.
