Hello everyone...hope all is well and sehr gut with you! Porsches lovers...and HELL...Porshce haters as well!
Life has been well.....Crazy as always since the last update...another trip in MARILYN to CALI and then back to the midwest...THEN...a nice 6 month trip with her down to the KEYS for some pro dive training..a couple tattoos...and well..LOST A THUMB in the process..rebuilt with mucsle and skin graphs..pics coming..very nasty pics at that...ALL from a SHARK..no..EEL..no...A DAM BROWN RECLUSE...what are the odds...anyway...I will for the rest of my life have one of the most interesting and .....intersting thumbs on earth..and I am grateful to God above to even have what I have...it never ceases to amaze me the things we take for granted..the simple compexitice of creation!
MOST RECENT LA PHOTO!!!! MARILYN AND ME IN STUDIO CITY, CALI.
FOR THOSE WHO ARE RETURNING....THE MOST RECENT PHOTOS ON PAGE 4 LADIES AND GENTS... :)
ABOVE PICS TAKEN July 20 2005
LADIES AND GENTS.....I WOULD LIKE YOU TO MEET...MY SUPERSTAR GAL MARILYN
THEN.....===================================>
and NOW....=================================>
BORN IN 1999...I ADOPTED "MARILYN" IN 2001! I AM HER SECOND FLING :). IT WAS VALENTINES DAY EVE!A COOL CRISP NIGHT IN LA!!
(Soon to be my home once again Adventure begins 25 July 2005!)
A FRIEND DROVE ME THE 4 HOURS TO LA AFTER WORK TO PICK HER UP. I HAD PREVIOUSLY LOOKED AT HER AND TESTED HER PIPES AND SHE SANG A SWEET MELODY! SHE SPOKE TO MY HEART...SHE NEEDED A GOOD PORSCHE LOVING GUY TO TAKE HER IN AND TREAT HER RIGHT! I WAS JUST THE GUY TO DO THAT. :) SHE HAS NOT LEFT MY SIDE SINCE!
THE FIRST PHOTO AFTER ADOPTION! :)
MARILYNS LIFE, SINCE I FIRST SAT MY BUM IN HER LEATHER CLAD DRIVERS THRONE, HAS BEEN A DIRECT METAPHOR TO MY LIFE. ALL THE UPS AND DOWNS...DENTS AND SCRATCHES...THE DETERIORATION OF LIFE - SEE PHOTOS BELOW - I am not proud of the fact that I could not fix her sooner...but it is a story of overcoming the odds...and being reborn=======>
BAD BRAKES and BAD NIGHT IN LA (Lost the Fender Liner)
SOMEONE BACK INTO MARILYN WITH A TRAILOR HITCH IN LA AND DROVE OFF WHILE I WAS AT WORK and UPSET ROOMMATES CAN CAUSE A BAD DAY WHEN THEY DON'T WATCH OUT WHERE THERE GOING WHEN BACKING UP OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY!!!! AND...HER CAR...2 DAY OLD MERCEDES CLK CAB!
Could Have Been Worse I guess!
THE BIGGEST EYE SORE OF THEM ALL!!!! THIS IS WHAT A SMALL CRACK CAN TURN INTO IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME! SUN, RAIN, SNOW, AND OTHER ELEMENTS ARE NOT KIND TO THESE PLASTIC WINDOWS...ESPECIALLY WHEN A CRACK APPEARS. I HAD NOT THE $$ TO FIX HER..AND IT AINT CHEAP!!!! BUT...THINGS CHANGE (Thank YOU to those who made getting her new top possible...God Shed his Blessing on me that is for sure!)
THEN JUST AS FALL AND WINTER TURN TO SPRING AND SUMMER...THERE IS "REBIRTH"...A NEW BEGINNING, BIGGER, BRIGHTER, AND MORE PROMISE THAN EVER. 
IT IS A BIZZARE STORYBOOK LIKE SAGA! A "BOY AND HIS CAR" FAIRYTAIL THAT IS STILL PANNING OUT. POWER, ENERGY, JOY, VICTORY....DEFINE THE REALITY OF TODAY AND THE FUTURE...SOMDAY NEVER COMES...TODAY IS THE DAY TO CLAIM YOUR BEST DAY INDEED.
VICTORY AND ADVENTURE!!!!
TODAY IT IS MY AWESOME HONOR TO FINALLY HAVE HAD THE ABILITY TO GET MARYLIN BACK TO HER SUPERSTAR STATUS....BIGGER AND MORE GLAM THEN EVER! SHE IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS...AND I WILL CONTUNUE TO UPDATE THE PHOTOS AND MOD LIST AS TIME GOES ON...BUT WITHIN A MATTER OF WEEKS...SHE HAS GONE FROM A DRIVE WAY SHAMBLES...TO A BEAUTY QUEEN...WORTHLY OF WEBSITE ATTENTION AND ATTENTION SHE GETS!!! WHAT A GRAND STORY THIS IS...THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW FOLKS HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED.
THE HISTORY (Long Live The 550)
MARILYN IS MY 4th PORSCHE! PREVIOUS MODELS (photos coming soon) INCLUDE MY FIRST: 1987 Base Model 944 Guards Red, Then a KICK ARSE 86 944 Turbo with Heavy Mods...previous owner was a Kansas City Chief and that car was nightmarishly fast! 3rd (only after trying a slooooowwwww all to common BMW 3 series..which I traded in less than 3 months for) My 86 Carrera with Whale Tail...sweet ride I loved her as well...but nothing like my cuurent girl! I TELL YOU THIS...THERE IS NO SUBSTITUE FOR THE AWESOME REALITY THAT IS.............PORSCHE!!!!!
