Why do you love your Porsche and why did you pick Porsche over other brands?
I have always appreciated performance vehicles and before retiring I had the opportunity to work with most of the global OEMs as a supplier (including Porsche). Like most Porsche owners, I have always been attracted by the engineering, design, fit/finish, and above all performance. Even though I will never come close to using all of the performance capabilities of my car, it still drives like nothing else under all conditions. It must be contagious since I have four neighbors within close proximity that have 911’s.
