In today’s PorscheCooled Podcast Michael presents episode 62 of owner stories with Tony from New Jersey in the U.S. Tony did not grow up in a car family nor a Porsche family. In fact, Tony acknowledges that Porsche didn’t pique his interest until much later. Nonetheless, Tony is now a car guy, immersed in the car / Porsche community and organises a very successful Cars and Coffee @carsandcaffe in the New Jersey area.
Tony was a Corvette guy growing up and still owns his first one. So, what was it that put Porsche on Tony’s radar? Well, the first was a 1/18 scale model of the Carrera GT plus seeing the CGT in video games. In fact, the CGT is on the top of Tony’s list as a ‘one day’ Porsche. Second was a ride in his friends 993 Turbo in iconic Arena Red - the poster car of the 993 generation. Tony was hooked and ‘had to have a Porsche from that moment on.’ So much so that his first 911 was a 993 Carrera 2 manual in Arena Red. Next, Tony wanted to experience the 997, so is second (and current 911) is a 2005 997 Carrera 2S in Carmona Red – another cool and rare colour; optioned just the way he wanted.
