I wrote into the lease that in addition to the rent, he owes me two cases of craft beer per month. Got my first rent payment today.

My then 15 yr old son and me picking up his first car in Kalamazoo. Pic taken at the Gilmore Museum. Fly-out, drive-home with a family member is the best way to pick up a Porsche.

BTW, he now works for VW Group of America doing future product development. His office is about 5 minutes from gnat's house.

That’s a great story! And beautiful car. Ran into 16 year old at our local cars and coffee event. And with all the high end sports car there, the kid dreamed of owning a 944. Go figure.

One of these days you will get it right. His office is about 2 miles from my office (that I haven't been to since before I met you) which is probably 5 minutes door to door with the lights and driving like I tend to. My house is 12 miles door to door from my office and is definitely more than 5 minutes which is at least part of the reason I drive like I do. His office is 2 miles beyond mine (1.5 actually since I'd take a slightly more direct (though not time warping) route.

Is anyone here in Loveland, CO area? Could use a set of eyes on a car there. 🍻 as potential payment.

Pedant...pedant...pedant pedant pedant.

What's the car, mang?

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.
