A good day to work for Porsche...

[monkeyracing]

Y'know, you get awfully jaded working where I do, seeing the same old Porsches day after day. Every once in a while though, something special rolls onto the lot....

1959 356 coupe. Freshly restored. Showroom or better condition inside and out!



It almost makes working for those Teutonic twits worthwhile.

Did you get to drive it?

:sign5:

Nope.

I can dream though.

I did get to drive a Cayenne Turbo S last week, and besides the absolutely ridiculous acceleration, I wasn't all that impressed. But I do understand more about why heated seats are a wonderful thing.

That's what I call perks of the job. The old ones get me every time.

What is it you do there Monkey?

the old 356 was to a new one what a festy is to a shelby

What is it you do there Monkey?

I sell car parts, accessories, and Porsche related merchandise. I can't remember exactly what my job title is, but my business cards read "Parts Specialist/2007 Certified After Sales Professional.

Me? Professional? Talk about putting a prom dress on a pig!

My job at the moment is a little more administrative than I'd like, but the actual parts work (this week) is about 50% body shop jobs, and 50% winter tires.

And they look after you okay? Pays good/able to retire there/friendly people?
