Stinger
Ready to race!
A few months ago I ended up the middleman for a friend who bought my boss's 2002 Porsche 911 convertible (sweet deal btw...30K miles, mint cond. $25K). Anyway, he is thrilled and keeps offering to let me borrow it, so I took up the offer yesterday for the day.
My wife and I did a 5 hrs (with lunch) loop up from Hwy 101 to Sebastopol, Guerneville, Bodega Bay, Tomales Bay, Stinson Beach then back up to Mill Valley. For those of you who have never been around there, it's a pretty nice drive with lots of tight turns and beautiful scenery. Well worth the drive!
Wow, and what a ride that was! I made that Porsche scream and I loved it (my wife not so much..lol)! Add kick in the ass torque and tires glued to the road, I nearly fell in love again. :wub: Hell, I felt like I had cheated on my Stage 1 once I got back in it (I love you baby but you have a spongy clutch and sound like a sewing machine...).
Certainly the Porsche is not a car for everyone. Even if it can be driven like a commuter car, it would be like asking your hottest sex partner to become the parent of your children and be domesticated... The result is often disappointing and costly.
But from time to time?... :23:
