Nice stop at the grocery store
Sat, I stopped at the grocery store to grab a quick bite. When I drive into a busy parking lot, I usually set my exhaust to the loud option (stock Porsche sport exhaust) so SUVs and cell phone using pedestrians hear me coming. I followed a newish (991, I think) 911 S Cab into the parking lot in my Boxster S.
While cruising through the parking lot I saw a guy getting into a black very late model Turbo S. He looked up and noticed my drive past. As I drove down the next aisle and past where the turbo S was he said something that I didn't catch. As I parked, he drove around and out of his way to drive past and tell me how good my car sounded. I felt pretty good, that me with the least expensive Porsche in the lot got a compliment from the most expensive car in the lot. When I came out to leave, this was parked in the lot.

Now in 993 land ...

That probably sounds a little better than the boxster. You better be glad the turbo guy heard your car first!
 Thanks for sharing! G |

Whole foods right next to the AIG building right? This was parked while I was having brunch at revival on Saturday.

I'd say I see a Lamborghini or Mclaren at least once a week every week.

It probably was the same car. I went to Lee's fried chicken across the street on Sunday, and he was there also. Looks like this young guy and I have very similar brunch tastes.
