Isn't it funny. I have people in cars that paid as much or more than I paid for mine say "Well, I'm not driving a Porsche. Things most really be going well for you." There are ford trucks that cost more than my car. It just makes me laugh.

Trog - nice buy from me too. This was a color that had my wife drooling...but we Brooks Brother'd and got Seal Gray....love it too.

The other point about civilians impressions - it continues to surprise me. I have a sneaky feeling that they cannot differentiate between a new 911T and my 'old' Box. We get respect by default.

WEIRD...

Today I was driving back to work from having had lunch at home and stopped at a light. I heard some people talking in an SUV next to me saying something about that's my car, look at the roll bar and side markers... turns out its the original owner who lives in the same town!

I have his number from one of the copies of the maintenance records so he said to give him a call for more history. I think I will this weekend.

small world.

Wow, what are the chances... unless he's messing with you.

50K for a Box or 100K+ for a Turbo...Porsche's are just damn GORGEOUS! Park it next to a 911 and people are always going to be drawn to the Box.
