Bruce you're going to need a Daytona if you start enjoying the Porsche track experience. There I think that sentence qualifies as both Rolex and Porsche, my two favorite topics

I wore my Daytona to the Porsche Roadshow at Sonoma last year.

I'm with you here...we always have a Carrera in the family and love it. i don't get the Porsche for dads thing.

Thanks Jeff. If my dealership sells enough cars this year perhaps it will be on my radar. Cheers.

This is the best post ever! The new Macan will definitely be on my radar to go with my smurf mobile.

Only the SQ5 is close to being in the same league, now if they had added a X5M, it might have been better, the X3 has no really good engines, 300hp max isn't a real match... Since the Porsche is made with Audi parts, it's easy to see why the SQ5 was close...
