Good bye video

Sometimes you can tell there's a lot more emotion to selling a car than one may know when picking the new car up... The owner posted this after I made it back to Baltimore from Kansas City... I feel bad he had to sell his passion... his love is in the seat next to him... enjoy.

Sad, sad video....

It seems like the P-car is going away for 20 years. Make a new fun video with a happy tune in the background.

I wonder if he was also texting while he drove with his daughter in the car and did this video. Great example for her to remember when she starts driving - co-processing.

Truth be told, he had a baseball cap on with the iPhone velcroed to the face, both hands were on the wheel.

That was a perfect tune for this. Without context, who would understand? Black Keys rock.

You mean scarred, you heartless bastard. Better description is eviscerated to the seven year old spine. Her little tiny hands out of the window for the last time. Saying the word Porsche correctly because she loves her Daddy and remembered how it was pronounced to bond with him.

Enjoy your car, Newman.

Yeah, saw the typo right after hitting enter. And since life moves on, I've ordered a Steve Wong chip to make sure it moves on more quickly. Already has a B&B exhaust and headers...

Righteous choice. She'll get over it. :-)
