Was it in GRM that I read about a guy buying a used Porsche at a dealer. It was great. With all types of tips on how to get the best deal. I think he went of Saturday evening and left to eat dinner. Any one know what I am talking about? Thanks

And if I recall it was written by a racer with a son who is nearly as fast...

Yeah. It was a midnite blue Boxster S.

I'll have to look through and see what magazine it was in. I have it somewhere.

That was done by Tim Sharp, a former Porsche dealer himself.

Ummm. Let me look it up. It was like a year or so ago. (That's a private joke for JG.)

We collected magazines and books here at the office and sent them to the troopies in the sand box. I put in a bunch of GRM's. A few months later, there was a letter to the editor from a troopie in the sand box saying he saw his favorite car in The Mag and he was gonna subscribe when he got back to The World. The reply was "Thanks, and here's a subscription fer ya." I know I sent that issue over there.

I recall that P car buying article. It was great.

This might be a good time to mention our armed forces are eligible for a special discounted subscription:

And we're working on making more and more of that older content available in one format or another.
