    I didn't know that you were from the Duck Dynasty!!!!

    I was on my way there until damn viral outbreak hit and had to shave for safety reasons.

    Congratulations. May you enjoy the 3-4 weeks left before winter hits you and you have to store it.

    Many blessings to you, the family and the new family member.

    Thank you for sharing. May we all meet one day... Yeah... I know... Not here in California... LOL

    I forgot to ask you... You think you'll be able to sleep tonight? I am sure you have gone to the garage several times tonight to just stare and smile... Maybe sleep inside or next to it?

    I remember doing the same each and every time I got a new car, However, none as much as I did with the GT2. That car still makes me go out and look at it. I am sure that once I get my F8 home, it will make me relive all that all over again with the same passion and desire.

    The last of the Mohicans... 997 2008. Last of mechanical true sports 911 GT2.

    I love the 991s, especially that GT3RS and GT2RS. Considered getting the GT2RS instead of the F8. But thought to myself, I already have the best GT2. Why get another Porsche? I don't like the 992... But that 992 911TS..Man... the performance of that thing is unbelievable! Would like to try one. I am afraid I may want one.

    Oh yeah. Getting rid of the highly coveted 993 was definitely a mistake that many committed. My uncle is in that regret support group as well. Last air cooled generation and absolutely stunning. That model has come up in price and continues to very quickly. It is anticipated that the next model that will be following the 993 will be the 997. So... yeah, mine is in the garage sleeping. May turn it on this weekend and warm it up...

    screw it! I dare to say it was your beard that caught more of my attention than the engine compartment. Raise your hand if you agree! lol. Congrats on the new toy. I just got my commission number on the 718 spyder with pdk option too. It is truly a GT4 convertible. Hope the pdk can help fix the tall gearing ratio though. Chalk with classic speedster package. TTS is the best DD car you can go to home depot and you can still enjoy the ride home. Congrats on these two new toys.

    That would be awesome! I have seen a condo somewhere (I think in Miami) where your car went up to your condo and then it was enclosed in glass so you could see it. Very cool!
