I see dozens if not hundreds of P cars, most late model, every day. I do of course live in their largest US market. You could move here if you're feeling lonely?!

Trade the north Carolina mountain roads for city traffic? Tempting, but I don't think so.

Don't forget toxic Chinese pollution blowing over. We know about that here.

My car's special to me. I don't even drive it in the rain- I have another vehicle for that. My Porsche is special to me and I enjoy it more by saving it for pleasure-only, perfect weather drives. I like it to be clean and perfect- a prized possession. Sacred, not mundane....

I see many panameras here in South Carolina assuming because engineers love them, as for boxsters I will see 3 while out at most.

I agree, I see them everywhere in LA. Almost every weekend there is a Porsche cars and coffee meeting somewhere nearby if you're lonely.

Last summer I drove from Ohio to California and back. I crossed IN, MO, OK, TX, NM, AZ, CA, NV, UT, WY, NE, IA, and IL. I saw a total of one, yes, one Porsche on the highway, a beautiful 356.

Good to hear that someone drives his car... and does not just own a museum piece that sits in a garage.

Mine came from LA. Long Beach to be exact. Owner must have been way east side. Hood and windshield and lights were like sand blasted.
