Man Gives Up Porsche To Get Married. 20 Years Later, Daughter Buys It Back For Him
Most Porsche fans know of other owners who sold a Porsche in the past, for one reason or another, and wished they could get it back. It happened to us (but that's a story for a later date). Unfortunately, for lots of different reasons, most of us are never able to get back the one that got away. Fortunately, for Kristin Russell's step father …

GTLM Results When three of your four factory works effort drivers have never been to a track before, it's a safe bet that your weekend is going to be a long and tough uphill battle.

This car is eternal, and won't ever truly be owned, rather were you to take delivery of this rare and beautiful Porsche 993 RSR, you would be preserving it for a future generation. This sentiment is kind of like those Patek Phillipe watch advertisements …
