Heading for breakfast at Brents deli in Northridge one Sunday Mornning, and there was, what I thought, a Ferrari parked at the curb right in front of the entrance. After checking it out, turns out to be a Carrera GT. WOW
I am a fanboy! I can't hide from that. However, i'm fast becoming a fan of the Corvette as well, and am in the hunt for Corvette Motorsport stuff to decorate some of my garage with, i already have some Porsche Motorsport stuff in there, and there is lots of that available. I plan on doing some shopping up at the Corvette Museum Bash at the end of this month.
The house, is special only in that it is practically a case study in what's needed for a child with severe Cerebral Palsy like my son. Its zero entry everywhere, the garage is extra big because we basically need a "van accessible" handicapped stall inside the garage for when there is snow everywhere and we need to load him up inside. We have an elevator so my son isn't confined to just the upstairs and can easily get to the walking paths out back of the house which go around the little ponds (stocked with fish) and a lake right at the end of the street. His room has a roll-in shower, special sink setup, etc.. the kitchen is all setup to accommodate him, wider doors and hallways so he can drive around, the basement wet bar is at normal counter height so he can raise his chair up to it, etc... The driveway is on purpose as well, lots of room for him to drive around safely, and you can pull up and unload him from the van right in front and he can roll right inside the main doors, rather than parking on the side of the house and having to go around a little sidewalk to get to the front doors. My daughters room is also setup to be a live-in "caregivers" space over next to his room just in case we need that in the future. We even have Amazon Echo's in most rooms, so that my son can control much of the house (TV, music, lights, video phone calls, etc.) from his speaking device attached to his wheelchair (speaking device spits out commands the Echo's listen for and the stuff in the house reacts to what the Echo's control). We are trying to make his life as best as it can be, despite how much it sucks. (Its all relative, of course, we know people who have a way worse situation with their children than we do).
Our house is the middle one pictured here (from when i was playing with a drone). I'm actually in that pic as well as my son driving his chair around at the lower right.
One of the "blessings" we have, I guess, is that we know what our future will look like, we know our son will be with us for the long haul. So we opted to splurge and go ahead and build the house we needed for the rest of our lives already (we also had little choice as my son's next larger sized wheelchair would literally not fit in any of the doors of our previous house.) No intention of ever moving out. The basement is setup so relatives can move in with us, if they need to, or end up needing the the accessible nature of the house.
Anyway, enough of that, but you asked. I'll post better pics of the Porsche/Corvette garage in all its glory when i'm finished with the new cabinets and have my Vette back from the detailers.
Hell of an explanation. Wish your family the best.
And my first post was still there after you came off 'vacation'. But that didn't fit in to your constant need to personally attack me at every chance you get.
Grow up.
Pretty sure I just apologized. No need to continually be rude to me and everyone else you talk to here.
I'm frankly sick of this abuse, people like you make me want to quit this site.
Ok this thread and this forum is in need of some comic relief. Here we are debating potential manliness of Porsche products and the Macan in particular. well, the new Porsche magazine showed up in the mail today and inside of the front cover, Porsche has provided their answer...
What The F! Porsche!!!!! Your killing me here!
At least Corvette marketing will never rip the ***** out of their drivers.
How is that? The 914 was produced from 1969 to 1976. The 1956 Corvette that I showed ads on, was 10 years before the 914. The 1956 Corvette could be ordered with either a removable hardtop or a folding soft top as standard equipment, and both were available as an extra cost option. The folding soft top was manually operated, but a power top was optional.
If you are talking about the removable fiberglass roof panel that can be removed and stored in the trunk on the 1969 914, the 1968 Corvette had removable fiberglass roof panels that could be stored behind the seats, as well as a rear window that could be removed and also stored behind the seats.
No man, sorry, just meant by the quality of the add itself, woman pictured along with the words “go topless”. Just a funny add. I’d take that Vette over a 914.
Just got back from checking on the progress of my C7. Some lucky guy has a brand new convertible C7 getting paint corrected and 100% wrapped by the same place. His is first, so I don’t get my car back till late next week.
The title of this tread is "Did you consider a Porsche?"
My point is that if you want to consider a Porsche, than knowing how Porsche is thought of by it's owners would be important in any decision one would make. That's why I posted the J. D. Power report. Do you also have a problem with J. D. Power?
My post is more relevant to the original question than your post attacking me, Why can't you discuss the original question instead of make personal attacks on me?
I guess your point is that you actually HAVE no relevant point. I'm shocked.
No man, sorry, just meant by the quality of the add itself, woman pictured along with the words “go topless”. Just a funny add. I’d take that Vette over a 914.

And yet in the second photo, only the 914 is topless. I suppose this is a case of only limited truth in advertising.
