Ours is a white Porsche Carrera 911. Not a Turbo. Transmission is Tiptronic. Has a sunroof. Has the really nice wheels, shiny silver with the colorful Porsche emblem in the center. I was putting groceries into the trunk one time and an old man walked up and asked me if I had engine trouble. When he looked under the front hood and saw no engine, he scratched his head and walked away muttering to himself. We really enjoy it. My only real problem with it is that when I barely step on the gas pedal it hits 100 way too quickly. I have to really watch that. And it rides smoother at 100 than my Plymouth van does at 55 or 70. We love cars. My favorite is the Jaguar XKE that they stopped making in 1973. Saw a Jaguar XK8 yesterday, black convertible. I thought that would do.

What an absolute, "stands alone", unique car that is. I got to drive a red convertible one back in 1970.

I highly recommend that everyone drive a 12 cylinder car at least once before they die.

And don't ever let that 911 get away. She sounds like a winner.
