PorscheCooled Owner Stories #56 - Rich 997 Carrera S Cabriolet

In today’s PorscheCooled Podcast Michael presents episode 56 of owner stories with Rich from New Jersey. Ever since Rich was a kid he has been into cars. From the playing with matchbox to the favourite cars on TV including the Ferrari 308 GTS from Magnum PI. Another favourite of Rich’s was the Porsche 944. After seeing one drive by he was hooked. A Red 944 poster on his wall followed and Rich told his dad, one day he is going to get one. Well that day came much quicker than Rich ever expected. For Rich’s 16th birthday Rich’s dad took him to the local Porsche dealer and bought him his dream Porsche – a brand new Red Porsche 944. A gift which Rich planed and to repay - which he did. His car during college was a E30 BMW coupe. A Mercedes CLK followed when Rich was working in the city. The Mercedes was a great city commute car, but Rich needed more. A 2001 Boxster followed with manual transmission. This was a car Rich loved to drive. Not only that, this car opened Rich up to the Porsche community. A community where he made friends with the creator of the ‘Gundo exhaust hack.' Rich owned his Boxster for 17 years, only trading it for his 911 in 2019. So Rich’s third and current Porsche is a 2007 997.1 911 Carrera S Cabriolet, 6 speed in Midnight Blue. A car that took him a while to find but was definitely worth the wait.Welcome back to the Porsche Cooled Podcast Follow Rich on Instagram @carreralicious Michael (@michael.bath) owns a first generation 997 Carrera, comes from Australia and currently resides in Bahrain.
