I have been in Medellin for a couple weeks....

Two days ago I started missing my ride so I had it shipped here. They only scratched it a little.

The photo below shows the mountains around Medellin.

Medellin is located on the side of a mountain about 5000 feet above sea level. The mountain continues straight up for several kilometers. Driving on this mountain IS AWESOME!! TOTALLY AWESOME!!! The road constantly changes direction, left, right, u-turns, up, down, etc. It is like the longest roller coaster I have even been on.

The sun had already started to go down and I had my cheap Sony portable camera so the pictures are not that great.

I have a photo of them kissing each other in my hot tub on the terrace of my penthouse overlooking the ocean. It really is a nice shot with a great view. But I think it would be off topic for this forum since the Porsche is not in the photo. Sorry.

I was cruising around on the mountain at about 130km listening to Mr. Ronnie James Dio as loud as the crappy radio will go. I had a new friend with me who yelled "Oye Papi!" when she saw the car. Naturally, I had to be polite and offer a ride. I was thinking how life does not get much better than this.

I then passed a sign that said "PELIGRO!" but paid no attention.

As I turned into the next blind corner the street made a turn that was almost 180 degrees! I slammed the breaks so fast and spun the car almost in a circle. It is a good thing Boxsters stop fast. If I was driving a normal car I would have went splat.

In the U.S. such a corner would have about 20 signs, a couple traffic lights, speed bumps, etc. Here they just stick up a sign the size of a small pizza box.
