    Just printing the article to save.

    I live in Central Va where roads are great but older Porsches rare. Where did you buy this one?

    Well written piece Kris. I appreciate the users and doers of the community. I just turned 185K on my 911 and can't tell you how great it is to see others who enjoy the daily use of these cars. Race on Sunday, drive to work on Monday! Thank you for the nice read.

    Cheers,

    Cool piece, and I like that it was written by a younger voice and appears in a place where it might meet younger eyes—and maybe get them to think about the lure of not just early 911s, but earlier cars.

    Nicely done, Kris!

    Thank you.

    As always, nice read! I always enjoy your articles and your writing style. Knowing a small part of the history of your 911 it's good too see that it has evolved into your vision....a tastefully done Sports Purpose 911!
    Give my regards to Aaron H for me the next time you see him.
    Will do!

    The future is worrisome for sure. I'm skeptical electrical cars will offer the same kind of buck up and do it yourself attitude and enthusiasm that the older stuff provided for us.
