My daily driver is a 2003 Subaru Forester XS. Very reliable and comfortable car. But my true passion (I'm a bit of a car-nut as well as a golf-nut) is a 930 generation Porsche 911 SC. I'm constantly scanning the classifieds and AutoTrader for one that meets my criteria. Will likely keep the Subaru for bad weather and as a reliable back-up in case the 930 has some issues (which it inevitably will).

And my Forever Car, Porsche 911 SC (930)


2005 Infiniti G35x  Purchased it as a graduation gift when I graduated college back in 2007. Had 20k miles when I bought it and the odometer currently sits at 125k. Has been an absolute dream of a car to own, absolutely zero issues other then just your regular routine maintenance. Car is an absolute beast is the crappy upstate NY winters.  Due to the rigors of my job (being involved in more construction sites as an engineer) my next purchase is going to probably be a truck. I sat in the brand new re-designed Chevy Silverado at an auto show recently and I was in love. I would probably lean towards purchasing its counterpart the GMC Sierra though.  I'll try to upload pics of my Infiniti this afternoon.

Drove the 2013 Silverado while picking out a new car, loved that truck.


2005 Chrysler 300C. Has over 140xxx miles, had it since 2007. With a new set of tires its ready for another 140xxx. No new car for a long time, spending all my money on getting better at golf and playing allover my area!

Interesting. VW own Skoda as you probably know, so that's a bit suprising.
Do they sell any Skoda's out there?

    • Day 7 - Mirror work, trying to hit that PGA-logo position in my follow through. Mirror really helped, need to film soon. 
    • So hit the😝 irons crooked AND play layup golf?? Hahaha.. no thanks. I would rather stay home. 😊
    • First - glad to see these popping up again. Now to the topic at hand - I would rather be option 1.  If I know how far it's going (I mean a yard or two) I can always play to the wider parts of the fairway and/or the green and still do reasonably well.  Now if I could just really hit the "number" that well. 
    • Day 2 (10 Mar 25) - Long day of driving to dr appt with son.  Thankfully got in one of my fave putting drills (two ball side by side) - the goal to have both balls come off the putter face equally by having them come off the putter face as close to the same time as possible.  First few rolls - the toe was leading the way as that ball flew off the face.  By the end of the drill both balls were basically equal off the face, rolling to within a couple of inches of each other.  Nice drill of focusing on squaring the face.  BTW - I was using the old Odyssey DF992. 
    • Day 161 - 2025-03-10 Got a decent, long session in. Focused mostly on the backswing feels, and moved on toward the end of the four hours (not all hitting balls, I installed a motion sensing light switch in there too, and worked with a student over FaceTime for a bit) on the downswing feel.
