My boss just picked up a 997.1 cabrio. I have to admit that I actually quite like it. I might buy it off of him when he decides to buy more power than he can possibly handle in a couple years. (He was just telling me that he wants to buy a Turbo and go track it. He will die if he does this.)

Ha.

Tell him to get a Cayman and track that. The best part about tracking a Cayman or Boxster is that after a few sessions you'll be good enough to pass all the rich idiots that show up for their first track day in a Turbo.

Why is everyone laughing at Nick's path to professional advancement?

FWIW, I opted not to buy a 911 on several occasions because I knew I would kill myself in it if I did at the time.
