Nice cars, boat, and tow vehicle

The wife and I have been thinking about taking our 911 on a longer road trip. This will help convince her.

Your in South West Florida... Well that was me at the end of March after hitting what the Sheriff's office said was a "submerged object" off of Sanibel Island at 110MPH in 4 foot waves....

Took the whole summer to fix it! I guess you can't make omelets without breaking eggs...

Wow the boat must really suck the fuel. Really nice to see you and your brother having some fun with fantastic toys. Good luck in Florida.

It's really not too bad.... At top speed its only 180 gallons an hour... So basically one gallon every 20 seconds...

But top speed we can only last a few minutes or else ..... kaboom!!! So that a bouts covers it!
