BTW, before you let your grandmother drive your 993 to the bakery, make sure she watches this owners' instructional video from the factory first. In my case, I have personally gone through great pains to explain all these anachronisms to my co-pilot of the past 6 years, and even now, after all these years, every time she goes off on her own (about 4 -5 times a year), I will get a phone call from her with a question about some button or gauge or light -- without fail, every time! :lol: It is decidedly not a "user friendly" car for girls. :confused::twisted:

Tiny correction in the steering and squeeze the go pedal a bit more, clip the apex, squirt out and select fourth...

Ah... Glorious...

It had an aftermarket tranny then, I guess.

Panamera's on the list too. No Triumphs, tho. :eek:

And if you notice #1 Nuff said :D

1. 1932 Ford V8: The first performance car a working man could afford, with looks swiped straight from Duesenberg. This car has defined American automotive culture for nearly 80 years.
