This is a picture from the Hooters Car show. I did not shoot the picture, but the red 911 is the car that won 1st Place. It is a 2001 Turbo. My car is the white 85 911 and I came in second. The girls are the judges.

There were like 6 or 7 red Porsches there that day. By far more red cars than any other color.

Stijn!!

One reason I don't yet have a GT3 is I want a unmolested stock white or Gulf blue low mileage car. That & I don't look real hard.

I figure if I just happen upon a Gulf Blue 996 GT3 in my neighborhood with a for sale sign in the window it was meant to be, and I will go into debt. If I start a long hard look I can probably find something but on the other side of the country. I don't wanna know. It would be like checking out the dating web sites looking for a mistress. Not gonna do it.

Please fill us in.

One of the guys in our club was telling me that he was walking his dog one day and saw a neighborhood guy washing a nice Porsche. He stopped and started chatting with the guy. He walked back home and told his wife, "honey I just bought a Porsche".

I spent two years looking all over. One day a co-worker on the way back from a job site happend to drive by a dealer here in Tacoma and there sitting on the lot was a light blue metalic targa. Two days and a PPI later it was home in the garage. He is not allowed to come over now as the wife will kill him. She was so sure I'd never find one.

Just got done with the email back-ups. Man what a boring project. I think I have a dent from hitting the keyboard with my head so many times.

At your age you're supposed to be callin' dibs on the waitresses. Cars you can do for the rest of your old age. (And when you're married, too.)
