20 years ago I wrote the check to buy my current toy and I drove it home.





I still had my 1974 914 2.0 that I ordered and bought brand new. I had to sell the 914 because I did not have room for two Porsches one El Camino and my wife's car.

I miss the 914 but I am loving my 911. It has hauled me to California three times. The east coast as well. I have driven my 911 to all these cities:

2015-French Lick, IL.
2014-Monterey, CA
2013-Traverse City, MI
2012-Salt Lake City, UT
2011-Savannah, GA
2010-St. Charles, IL
2009-Keystone, CO
2008-Charlotte, NC
2007-San Diego, CA
2005-Hershey, PA
2004-Fort Worth, TX
2000-Sacramento, CA
And Grand Miami, OK in 1996.

My car remains nameless. I just call it the Porsche but it has been a great toy. After 20 years of smiles and fun it is worth 50% more than when I bought it. That is a great toy.

I will take it for a drive tomorrow and say thanks again!

Congratulations! Ownership is so rewarding and dare I say "therapeutic".

Keep enjoying in great health!
