Hi, Al,

That was a great read, I really appreciated all the family stuff, and your personal life, it's really very interesting for someone who is not at all involved mechanically! So, I have to ask you, the amazing Porsche mechanic, what kind of car do you actually drive around town? ? ? LOL.

It will come as no surprise when he tells you...

Porsche is in my blood, fortunate to be able to fix them, I have owned one since I was 23 years old.

LOL. Of course, although it might be hard to haul the family around in it, right? But I must say, discus and sports cars do seem to have some common denominator. Thanks for sharing, Al!

That's nice but is that the same car maker who installed defeat device? So they can cheat on emission test and then they got caught by the US government and so now have to recall 400, 000 cars in the US alone and 1 million+ world wide.

No that would be Volkswagen and only Diesel, and they got caught, the big question is who has not been caught, it's called greed. but my car runs fine
