I had my very early 930 there and they thumbed their nose at it...

Car guys...

HOOT! Reminds me of the beginning of the end as far as I and PCA went. Historic races, of all things. Corral marque parking. A guy with a brand new 996...black/black was there. When the guy directing parking motioned me to park next to him, he said; "I don't want that old POS parked next to my new Porsche."

Since he was so obviously all about money & image, I parked elsewhere.

(edit)

A video posted on another board I visit. Hell yes, I'd consider the owner of this very much a car guy!
