Dang man. You know you've made some good decisions in life when you have to (and can) stack your Porsches!!

thanks. Yes, we have been very fortunate to have the things we have. We work hard at it (and we have NO KIDS).
The GT3 replaced the 993, this picture just happens to be in the short time we still had both, before selling the 200k mile cab!

the other 911 we had was a '69 that I picked up for $4k to restore..and it ran at the time!! Was spending so much time getting Huey and Papa Smurf to where we wanted that the '69 sat for 5 years. Finally decided to sell the '69... a bit too early....should have kept it! Could have a 2010 GT3 now!!

Our 911's are daily drivers - the 993 we bought with 70k miles, sold with 200. Had it for 10 years.
The GT3 we bought with 16k miles 3 years ago. Now has 75k.
