Early Porsche,
Two years ago I took my grandmother (82 at the time) for a spirited drive in my Carrera (within reason and safety--she has severe osteoarthitis). She went from pure excitement to fear and back to general amazement that a car could be so "glued" to the road. Again, this was a short spin around some back roads and I wasn't even close to pushing the car--she had just never been in a sports car let alone a Porsche. She still talks about that day. When she got back to her home she told her MD she could now understand why he had kept his "Porsh" all those years and he must have a lot of fun with it--he bought a 87 Carrera targa new, and has owned many different Porsche's (914, 928, 911's). Ownership of our cars is an experience that words really cannot describe. I still have not driven a car that has that feeling like my 911 does and I will try to always have at least one Porsche from now on out.
