With nearly $100K invested in Porsches in my garage, I could have a 911 instead. Not my cup of tea.

2 yrs ago Woodhouse let me do an extended test drive with a 911 GTS that was AWD. This was the first 911 I'd ever driven. It felt clumsy until you stepped on it. Then it felt athletic. But definitely didn't ring my bell.

Back in Sep Woodhouse had an open house and if you test drove a car, they'd sign you up for a chance to win a race pkg at Barber. My friendly salesperson had a nice 991 S waiting for me. This one was a 6 spd (the GTS was PDK). The 991 was fun to drive (including the auto blip shift downshifts). Then he hit me with the sales pitch - ya know, if you traded in both your Porsches, you wouldn't be too far off on this one. Nice try, but my pair of Porsches fits my needs better than one 991. BTW... the salesperson covets my Cayman. I'm not ready to let her (yes, her, as in Sydney) go for a long time. She's too much fun.
