Couple pictures of the old man's turbo

Well with only a couple days left before I head back to school I convinced my Dad ("997 Turbo Tip" is his screen name on 6Speed) to take the turbo out for a drive and a couple pictures. Normally it would have not left the garage in the winter but after a week of rain here in NJ the roads were pretty nice. Plus I think the old man was getting a little sad that I am heading back to school so that helped him cave in! I really have to say it was a fun day and great spending time with old man and was a really fun drive! I am really lucky to have the parents I do as they do way to much for my brother, sister and I. This is a fact that will never be lost on me!

Normally I would have brought my Alpine White Z4 M Coupe along for the pictures but she is hibernatiing up in my garage at school. So the next best thing was to take my brother's interlagos blue M Coupe since he is back at school and really couldn't say no!The white is a much better color but hey what can you do..... I am sure he will chime in on that comment! Anyways enough of my ranting and on to the pictures...

No cost option..... a guy ordered this car and backed out on it right before it hit the dealer and it was one of the many options he put on it

I wasn't a fan at first but after going to an ALMS race and seeing the flying lizard porsches and all the antenna they have it reminds me of a race car

Oddly enough, I feel the same way. Reminds me of my favorite car when I was in elementary school, VW Corrado.
