Expensive test drive

My wife drove my car yesterday. She loved it so much she wants her own Turbo now, a cab. We shopped for a 997S Cab for her last summer but honestly she wasn't impressed enough for the $. But the kick of the Turbo has her talking about nothing else for the last day.

Ah the whole, "If she wants to play, she has to pay" mentality. I like your school of thought.

She likes white. A lot. Maybe with a cocoa interior and top. She says driving the Turbo is addicting. She's right. All things considered, I'm a very lucky guy. She actually learned to drive on her mother's 911 30 years ago.

The good news is that we are doing a major remodel on our house and don't have room for another car until the remodel is done next year
