Kir getting a ride from her bro. This thing got a lot of miles (& powerslides).

When we both got the bug. Drove this home from the dealer to show Ty, I didn’t know how to drive a stick, but was convinced this was my car (killed it 3x in dealer lot).

Standing next to the ride before hopping in, Kort’s ‘97 Lincoln in the background.

Kiran in Mom’s SLK, Ty in the 911 SC, both in car seats because safety first!

I had this hanging on my wall as a kid (also with a Countach in black). I originally thought cars were about collecting, learned it’s really about family & connection.

Waffle House Stop, Kort in the mustang (pre paint) and Bruce in the Lambo. The mustang ALWAYS gets more attention. Might be Kort.

Fresh repaint = happy wife!

Gramps & Kendall fixing the fire damage, which was localized to the steering column.

Saleen clone, owned by Landon Cassill (Nascar). Straight pipes.

Stuck on the snow with straight pipes. Later that day, got stuck in the McD drive thru 3x, learned about snow tires from Sebeny.

Supercharged, added rims

The finest custom rims from Tirerack. Quite literally rocked this one ‘til the wheels fell off.

Ty posing next to the car in the rain (the best way to sell a car).

Manual, replacement IMS engine, tan interior

Ty, hard at work in the shop. Refilling & detailing wheels, the never-ending job.

To add legitimacy to a dealer, we need a truck. I bought ramps to load cars in the back, never put one car in.

Downtown Winston. Post livery.

Ty @ local mall in NC, pre paint.

We drive our cars!

3.5L Auto

Daily driver in NH, replaced the 2017 Panamera. It’s 911s for me. Did great in the snow!

When cars are stored for the winter, the only love they get is the monthly start. Sounds good in a closed garage!

For Decorah to CR trips.

Great wheels!

Kort’s daily for a season

Kendall at our favorite movie spot in NC, Red Theater.

My first company car, lots of trips between Winston & CLT. 1st gear was useless. Mean look.

In the red 2014 C2

We made this stop a lot. On the way to a car show, mask says covid-era

We’ve moved across country several times, which means many cars catching up to us via trucks. These were central city (while we lived in Portland) to NC.

Signing our golf cart, his personal infield golf cart, donated for charity.

The most attention we’ve ever gotten at a car show.

Part of the fleet in NH.
