I think you should get some proper car covers, that tarp will scratch the hell out of the paintmdsavoie wrote: Mon Jan 16, 2023 8:43 am IMG_3802 - Copy.JPGIMG_3576.JPG
JD, here are my two cars. I expect to have them on the road by the beginning of April. All I do now is look at them daily to make sure they are still there.
In the meantime, we run around in a 2011 Audi Q5 which is perfect for winter driving. The downside is that is stays outside and has to be cleaned off every time it snows.
I sure wish I had a barn like yours.

Hello, all
My name is Greg and this is my first post as a new member
Living back in SoCal after spending nearly 13 years living back on the east coast.
Aerospace & Defense Executive (once retired -- but still back at it). My wife and I are empty nesters.
Came across by first Porsche in 2015 (2010 C4S manual) after seeing a random pop-up ad on Ebay (believe it or not). Once I contacted the seller and flew to TX to inspect/drive (never did that before) I was completely hooked! Along the way, I then picked up a 2017 Macan Turbo (used) and was swapping back and forth between the two as my daily driver.
However, always dreamed of one day owning a 911 Turbo. So fast forward a few years (while looking at 911 Turbos that were for sale) I decided to pick up the pace and spent the next few months dropping hints to my wife about how a 911 Turbo (later to become a TTS) made perfect sense...and she finally agreed (once we discussed how the Macan could become her daily driver -- and we would sell her 2020 BMW X1). As they say, win-win!
Hope to continue to learn and share more experiences among the members.

@Greg2010
I'll second that "welcome aboard". Sounds like you've got the bug alright. Our Porsche's are just great cars - all of them!
Post pics too!

Thank you all for the warm welcome!
We settled in Palos Verdes (located about 11 miles south of LAX -- I think).
Here are some recent pics. I seemed to have omitted that part of "the deal" was selling my beloved C4S before moving forward (missing it though).
I picked up the 991.2 TTS in Carlsbad CA (December 2022) and have made a few changes (tires/wheels).
Thanks again...and looking forward to learning from members and sharing experiences.
Best,
Greg

Welcome to Carpokes Greg! I had a 2018 Turbo S and absolutely loved it. They are amazing cars in so many ways. I think we always miss the cars we no longer have --except the Maverick I drove in High School I guess.... 
Cheers!
