In today’s Porsche Cooled Podcast Michael presents episode 66 of owner stories with Chris from Tucson in the U.S. Chris has entered the Porsche world at a young age - at 30 he is now driving and enjoying his first 911. Growing up in New Mexico Chris said he really didn’t see many Porsches. Although, the ones he did see he remembers well. The 993 he spotted on a school field trip or the neighbours new 997 and then 964 are all part Chris’s first Porsche memories. Then there was Top Gear, the show that Chris also credits his Porsche passion to.
First cars included a Nissan pickup truck, and a ’95 Mustang GT his father bought him in his senior year at High School. Then there is the special car Chris still owns – his dads 1990 ford F250 – a car Chris will never get rid of. Chris is also into motorcycles and owns a few, including his original Suzuki and a couple of Ducatis.
A few years ago, Chris was looking at buying an Audi or Mercedes which were not quite right. His dad suggested that the time was right and he should get a Porsche. So that’s what Chris did. He started searching and this led him to the 996 Carrera 4S a car Chris wanted due to the AWD.
In April 2019 Chris found the perfect local car, well cared for, original owner and a C4S just what he wanted for his active lifestyle. A great find and the perfect start to Chris’s Porsche journey.
