RIP Homie - You Made Some Great Parts!

Most likely if you have ever used a set of 996/997 Turbo Agency Power intercoolers, 996TT Y-Pipe, 996/997 Turbo TB/Plenum Kit, Cayenne S Exhaust, 997TT straight pipes, or our latest 996/997 Carrera turbo kit, you have been touched by Mike Porter. I thought I would share this with MY community as he was a great dude!!!!!!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Mike and I just cannot believe this has happened.

He was a great guy, worked very hard and it is truly a loss that he is gone so unexpectedly.

My condolences go to Mikes family and Vivid/ AP. I am so sorry for the loss.

If anyone can donate, that would help the family alot. They are about $800 away from what is needed for funeral/cremation, etc. Good thing is he is a organ donor so will be continuing his life that way.. If you can donate even $5.00 that would help. Link is here, thanks http://www.vividracing.com/blog/proj...odspeed-homie/

Sorry to hear of the loss...I never talked to him or knew him or the parts he made but he seemed like a great guy from the write up, certainly will be sad to see a good person and fellow enthusiast go, god bless to his family and RIP to Mike
