I was tired so I retired and then because of a golden opportunity to hang out with Porschephiles on a daily basis I accepted the honorable, engaging job of taking my fellow Porsche owner to their places of business or to their humble abodes. Heh, when your son is the newest Sales Manager of the newest Porsche Dealership in the United States and he wants his Social Security recipient father to work part time as a Service Driver you jump at the chance. Think about it fellow ancient ones, I get to go to work, hang around Stuttgart's finest, drive a myriad of Wunderbar German Classics and I get paid. Plus I get to meet the nicest people and since I just switched my PCA Membership to the Schonesland Region, I have a built in way to meet the many members of a Club that just celebrated 50 years as a Region. I figured since many of you are possibly feeling sorry for me that I have to go back to work ( albeit part time ) I decided to post a few pictures of my work environment. May I present the new Porsche Des Moines work environment.
PS- don't tell my son Ryan I am hanging out on the Carpokes Forum instead of working ,ha!

From time to time I need a ride home from our Nashville dealership. Can you come pick me up? (Preferably in a GT3 Touring!!!) :lol: :lol: :lol: ;)

I don't care who you are that is funny!! I will check with Ryan but I am pretty sure if you buy a Porsche he will let me deliver it to you, ha. ( Actually the parent company has 5 enclosed trailers and is constantly delivering vehicles to customers ). The Slantnose in the picture is owned by a racing buddy I have known for 25 years, yet I never knew he had that beautiful beast - he kept that redheaded mistress a secret.
