Just watched the vid. I am working on a house right off that road (Palos Verdes) along the beach so I am there few times a week. There are lots of Porsches there.

No need for me to talk about the Porsche magic because all know it well. I think it was Noah that said the Porsche crowd had changed an I agree with him 100%. I have never joint any car clubs but do go to our local meets once or twice a year. Most of the guys are great and simple people. Not the large car meets, that's a different crowd. I suppose I know most of the guys that show up at our local meet up so they go easy on me but the large shows, they seem to be a bit snobbish. I still have three air cool cars that I must force myself to drive when possible. I get to the point that I don't take the 993TT out due to people who always have BS to say. I have a factory Turbo S aero tail. Someone will always tell me that's the wrong tail for my car and the next question is always, " is that a real Turbo, can I see the intercooler"? Sick of having to answer to all that. For the most part, they leave me alone on the 930. I noticed the pattern. Most of these guys are in the late 30 to about late 40ish. Weird, I found.

Talk about a different crown. I was invited to a Ferrari unavailing of the Roma in the Torrance dealership. Oh boy, talk about the wine and cheese crowd. These guys were something else. First off, we have to be in our monkey suits. I listen to some of their conversations. They talk of their other f cars and their Aston Martin are so plush that nothing comes close to their performance or comfort. I mentioned the big benz or BMWs are good coupes and they corrected me fast. Do not enjoy that and I think Porsche and their newer owners are headed that way. Still, I drive the wheels off my Cayman S. In the back of my mind, I am still thinking about buying a modern turbo before I start driving like an old man.
