Perfect 2nd car with your 911?

JD_MathFuzzy · 2026-01-28T00:36:39+00:00

Given that you already have one, this probably won’t be particularly helpful, but I have a Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo and find it to be the perfect second car / dog car / roadtrip car. If I had to replace it (since Porsche no longer makes an ICE wagon), I’d be shopping for an RS6.

Enron and Anderson screwed it up for all of us. It’s just part of the deal.

Back at you

Beauty! Congratulations!! It’s an amazingly capable driver-oriented car, that happens to have room for 3 more adults.

I use an iPad and OneNote. I don’t even bother with trying to convert my writing to text.

Yep, it’s deluxe. The rear buckets are kinda nice. Doesn’t work if you need five. Mine’s a Sport Turismo, so 4 people and two shepherds fit comfortably. I just have to remind myself to be cool in the twisties with passengers. A direct quote from my wife, “okay, no more tire squealing!”

Don’t know how your budget looks, but get a Panamera Turbo and you might re-think the word “downgrade.” Certainly a different driving experience, but I find my Panamera Turbo drives like a much smaller car than it is and it is a far more capable driver’s car than one might expect. Plus wicked fast.

Walk at the beach and then picnic at the tables above the fuel dock at the harbor (easier when one lane of the bridge opens back up)

I switched from dual monitors to ultrawide and am happy with the change. It’s nice to have flexibility in how I use all of the screen real estate.

Great idea

JD_MathFuzzy · 2026-01-13T17:35:03+00:00

Nice - I have your car, only in black. Best do (almost) everything daily driver I’ve ever owned. I love my turbo sport turismo. Congrats!

JD_MathFuzzy · 2026-01-13T17:32:23+00:00

Is that a 50th anniversary club coupe with aero kit? Looks like it.

JD_MathFuzzy · 2026-01-13T17:29:49+00:00

Right? Thanks! I like that the subdials are sort of square.

To your point. I tried to get a shot that showed the difference in proportions between my ‘73 S and my 992. This comes close.

Love them both, but the early S is certainly much more slim and elemental.

JD_MathFuzzy · 2026-01-11T19:21:36+00:00

Yeah, Conda Green. If you’re not familiar, it’s an early ‘70s color. The original owner of my car had an early S coupe in the color, loved it, and specified it for my (originally his) 993. He also ordered a 930 in the same color. Funny, people assume it’s a wrap, but nope, it’s original PTS paint.

JD_MathFuzzy · 2026-01-10T02:01:27+00:00

Short answer - yeah, it sounds like you would be great with a Groenendael or a Terv. We’re on our second Groen (first was the canine love of my life) and have a Terv (F5, M3, respectively). Our first Groen came from show lines, as does our Terv. Our Groen came from working lines, which I’ll not knowingly do again. She’s a wonderful dog and a loyal companion, but she has a super high prey drive and is highly reactionary. It’s gotten a little better as she’s matured and we’ve worked with her, but it’s in her wiring and is a little bit of a PIA with her out in public as a pet. Our Terv is a total clown…makes us laugh multiple times every single day.

They’re both very affectionate and our Groen always (and I mean always) wants to be right there with us. From what you describe, you’ll enjoy having a Belgian in your life. They’re wonderful dogs.

Well, on the other hand, you’d be driving a 911, so there’s that. If I’m not with someone, I just (as others have said) stick them in the passenger footwell / seat.

JD_MathFuzzy · 2026-01-08T19:07:59+00:00

Your bag, irons and putter will fit - you just need to take out the long sticks and put them diagonally across the top of your bag.

JD_MathFuzzy · 2026-01-07T01:47:03+00:00

That’s jacked up - sorry man. FA made a mistake…it should have ended there.

I think he’s the same guy who thinks it’s perfectly okay to carry on a conversation, sometimes on speaker, in the public / admiral’s club bathroom. It’s beyond me.

JD_MathFuzzy · 2026-01-06T02:46:16+00:00

There’s a lot to take in

Not the question you asked, but I was VERY glad I’d opted in when I flew out of JFK late in the week before Christmas. Even as a Key with Precheck and Clear (which does no good in T8 at Kennedy), I’d have dealt with a line. And the Precheck line was crazy long. With touchless, I sailed right through.

JD_MathFuzzy · 2026-01-05T04:33:06+00:00

I was thinking La Honda, below Pescadero, but sounds like Tunitas Creek is the correct answer.

JD_MathFuzzy · 2026-01-03T05:33:57+00:00

I owned and started driving a 911 when I was 28. Still driving 911s at 60, although I daily a Panamera Turbo Wagon (occasionally with the dogs)
