we'll see in Part III and IV and V.

That I do agree on, but when pushed to the limits which any of us rarely if ever do , it has better grip and feel then the 997, Harris and Rohrl cant be wrong.

I still suspect 991... if it's a daily-type car, it makes sense. That's why Porsche refined it so much. Personally, my 997S (yes, it's in the garage now) fits the bill better as a weekend fun car...

Well, a "funny" thing happened on the wAy back to Paul Miller to take pictures.

Entering nj from the Loncoln Tunnel, i was driving in the center lane when literally out of nowhere a Chevy Eqinox(?) served into my left drivers side fender!!

She kept going but i called 911 and pulled over to wait for the State Troopers.

Unfortunately i have to report this to Port Authority police who will issue her a ticket for leaving the scene of an accident.

Some if the damage came iff but the fender needs some paint. What a way to ruin my afternoon and i have to go report it to pot authority police later or tomorrow, another 2-3 hour waste.
Argh
