Picked up my Bro's new 997 Turbo and drove it back Dallas-Vermont
We flew down Friday from Vermont to Dallas to pick up my brothers new 997 Turbo...

We had a blast 1800 miles in 24 hours of driving, no tickets and now it's here in Vermont parked with the Lambo at my office waiting for the documents to be set to export it to Montreal for my bro to enjoy...

Went for a ride Sunday once i got back with my Lambo... We're pretty conservative on color I guess...

Congrats!
IMO the Porsche Turbo is the best car for long drives. In Aug I did 3306 miles in 8 days and loved every min of it.

believe it or not turbos on any motor are actually a great way to get better power to fuel efficiency, this is why alot of other manufacturers are going the way of a twin turbo setup..............but as you guessed it, Porsche has been doing this for years

both cars look great, enjoy in good health

More info on the truck. Is that a 550 with a custom body? Looks bigger than a 450.
