Good Idea. There is a DE put on by the Porsche Club in March at Barbers but I probably won't be participating just watching.

Other than that join us Logan's on 280 every Saturday at 11:30. There is a group of people with very nice cars that get together there almost every week. This week will be a lite turnout though due to several of the cars going to the World of Wheels.

Awesome story!

I'm in the group that guilted their wives into letting them buy their P-cars...my wife's only prerequisite was to actually get the 2 little ones in the back seats... thanks to 6speed, this wasn't a problem!

Drive it in good health.

haha... reminds of when I was shopping for a 997 C2S... my jaw dropped when my wife remarked, "hey why don't you just get a Turbo?". My wallet had the final say... ended up with a C2S..

If you arent as fortunate as the OP you can buy your wife the 997 then get her pregnant and once she realizes the stroller wont fit in the car it will rightfully be yours...just an idea.

I bet you were so happy to get the car you wanted. that's really a super story.

I'm in your boat as well...my wife wishes the car was sold and gone last week. I have had the car 2 years now and she has only been in it 3 times now. Totally takes the fun out of it...

Congrats on the new porsche and on the excellent wife. Although I imagine your new car is much cheaper than the wife's 7 hobbies.
