20 Years ago today.
20 Years ago today I bought my first and only Porsche. It was the first car I ever bought. I was 21 years old. Was stationed on the USS Kitty Hawk in San Diego and always wanted a 911. Had so much fun driving it from San Diego back to Ohio with my brother. Almost sold it while I was in college. Glad I didn't. Took the kids to soccer tonight in "Daddy's race car". Sure is a fun car....Guess I'll keep it for a while.

That does definitely look like a keeper. I'd keep it for another 20.

Nice car. I've had mine forever and like you I've got no plans to let it go. Your kids will always remember those rides with dad.

Coincidentally, I bought my 911 exactly 20 years ago yesterday too!!!
An old picture from not long after I bought it. I bought some Cookie Cutters and painted the centers "Allis Chalmers" orange!!
