    The sole resident of my personal fantasy garage. Curse you, AI, for reminding me that I still have not achieved my goal of 959 ownership, even at my advanced age.

    Me: "What are you not doing today that you were doing yesterday?"


    Girlfriend: "What?"


    Me: "Going out with me."


    You should probably break up over the phone, it sounds like it may get violent.

Some of my favorite articles included monster truck school, testing a demining vehicle, demolition derby soccer, and anything by John Philips III, the only reason why C&D still deserves to exist.

    Definitely one of the greatest cars of all time. It is insanely fast even by today's standards. I mean what else could you possibly want? This car is the epitome of Porsche's excellence. I love the 911, but the 959 holds the title of best Porsche for me.
