This week there has been a pretty amazing showing of Porsches around town. I had to look up online why the sudden inrush of expensive sports cars with numbers on them. Turns out there is an event going on right now - the 2013 Porsche Parade! The Website - http://parade2013.pca.org/

The short of it is there are a LOT of Porsches getting together to do some fun things. Pirelli is here with a tent and are sponsoring some events. Michelin has a drive and compare set up. There is an AutoCross course set up at the local air strip. And Saturday they'll be touring up our peninsula. Should be quite a site.

Anyways, a few of the older Porsche guys looked at me kinda funny. I tried to explain to them I had tubular a-arms and decent sport suspension set up - but it was hard to talk over the rumble of the big block :)

I didnt get many pics today. There are a couple of Carerra GTs I want to snap some shots of. I'll get some more shots on Friday.

They are cute little cars..... but I have to say we've had nothing but trouble with our Cayenne Turbo. My wife likes it enough to buy another though -- if that tells ya anything.


Always a fun time if cars are involved!
