Always loved that model. It's one of the most beautiful cars of the modern era -- just my opinion. The graceful lines put it right up there with any other classic.These days , I rarely exceed the speed limit , which in Georgia is a little daft, they all drive fast. It's a very easy car to putt around it , and when the mood strikes .. big smiles. I remember as a youth seeing old men in fast cars just putting and it drove me nuts.. now I understand....
I got the Porsche after a near fatal motorcycle accident, 10 weeks in ICU .. nasty . Big settlement ( old lady hit me from behind when I was stopped making a left... at 55mph ...didn't brake until 20ft AFTER impact, all on film at the MotorCafe' I was pulling into .. )
After several months of searching I found it up in Wallingford , CT .. I flew up .. still on Crutches .. hobble off the prop job in the tiny airport .. the guy from the dealer is picking me up ...
He sees the crutches and freaks ... "You're going to be shipping the car back Sir? " No ... I can't walk but I can drive! Freaked him OUT !
It was the highest spec 987.2 imported to the US in 2011, they only imported 516 . Before I picked it up another Dealer contacted me .. he wanted to buy it from me for his personal car.. and told me all about it. PDK /Sport Chrono , "R" suspension and exhaust 19" Carerra wheels K&N dyno Tuned...
The Doc that spec'd it wanted an R that was luxurious... kinda like the GT3 Touring.. it is a total blast to drive fast on track..1.41 G is a lot of fun .. My grandsons LOVE it ..
She had 9185 miles 3 yrs old ... a Doctor's Date car.. SO I've put on 24K in 10 years .. my Mechanic bugs me to drive it more.. I will now .. letting it sit too much led to a COSTLY repair. ..lesson learned
