Happy 10th birthday for my car
Exactly 10 years ago, on March 17, 2001, I took delivery of my lapis blue 911 coupe.

After having waited three months for it to be built and delivered, this was a very exciting day. I promised my wife when I ordered the car that I would keep it for at least 10 years. Well, I never thought back then that I would only have 6,500 miles on the odometer after 10 years, nor that the value of my car would have plummetted to such a low level. It's been a fun 10 years, and since I have no plans to buy another 911, let's see what the next 10 years brings for me and my 911.

Here's a photo I took after a full detailing last fall.
