Why do you love your Porsche and why did you pick Porsche over other brands?
I have always been impressed with Porsche’s racing history and my partner had a 1982 911 SC that was great to drive. When I turned 50 my wife said I should get one. It took me a month to find a 1992 911 (Ollie) in Kansas City. When she had 140,000 miles on it my wife said I might want to get another one. One month later I had my 2004 911 C4S (Gracie). She now has 195,000 miles and the engine hasn’t been opened. The mileage is a testament to the fact that she has been and continues to be fun to drive.
