Everyone Loves a Porsche

My wife's 96 year old Grandmother is here to visit for the weekend from NY. We are getting ready to take ready to take the kids to get ice-cream since it's about 90 degrees outside. I figured we'd take the Audi so she could climb in and out easier and she put her foot down "I wanna take the Porsche!". My wife told her it might be hard for her to get in and she says "I'll crawl, don't worry about me". As soon as I started the car she says "It feels so special".
So, we took the back roads :-)

She is a character no doubt. A few years ago the kids have to have a talk with her when they discovered she us undercutting the local taxi company and stealing their business. Probably not the best idea to start a cab business at 90.

According to her, the secret to life is scrabble, beer and sex. Tmi but it seems to work.

She is a true gem. Not sure about the scrabble though. Enjoy your time with her while you can!

Actually, in staying mentally sharp, scrabble may contain more wisdom than you think.

Sweet shot. I have a great shot of my Grandmother in a CGT Convertible on her last mothers day. She always had great taste in clothes and cars. Her favourite? The Audi A8L. Imagine that...and 87 year old woman with no drivers license but she knew what she liked!
