Out of all the car companies out there why did I pick Porsche? Growing up as a child, my father had several Corvettes that he owned and he never kept any of them stock (always modified them). He worked for General Motors on an assembly line and he was pretty loyal to Chevrolet. Anyhow, one day when I was young and could barely see over the dash of his 1978 Silver Anniversary Corvette, a Porsche Turbo pulled up beside us and pretty much left us in the dirt. My father's Corvette had a huge rear end (456) and it was geared for 1/4 mile racing rather than top-end speed but I didn't really understand that at the time. All I knew, that Porsche smoked us. Anyhow, that was my first "Porsche Moment," if you will.
