The guy has the money. He likes the looks of the car with a lower suspension and big red brakes. He drives a 944 (on the track), which IMO is a better driver's car than any of the modern cars anyway.

I don't see why anyone doesn't get it or actually cares, frankly,

+1 and right on! Diversity friends Diversity. Most folks on this forum are drivers, concour'ing is a whole other passion and skill set. Though there weren't many ugly words used toward this gentlemen I'm frankly very surprised by the reactions.

Guys tear their cars down and spend hundreds of hours making them track machines, we all shine our cars up and post them on Show and Tell. This guy enjoys the competition of concours and to boot he is a bad asss driver! Oh and he can wrench!

I understand where this gentlemen is coming from, I can walk up to cars and see things others would never notice (thanks Mom). I thought about concours'ing my 987 but there aren't enough competitions in the Carolina area.

I bought my 986 for several reasons: the enjoyment of driving a porsche, wrenching it, wrenching when it didn't even need to be wrenched, detailing it to the point it looks stunning, and taking it to gatherings and meeting other kewl folks.

I just thought the Boxster crowd would be more understanding. Rant over.

Oh...I want his car for my daily driver!
