Why not? I'm sure Porsche has good security, such that clients don't get attacked inside, or coming and going. Is there reason to doubt that?

I don't think so... Those 911 Turbos are known to be pretty nasty.

Have a great time and take some pics please!

I took Tons, now I have to work on resizing them lol…. Even though my ‘retirement’ job is driving them for a local dealership, just seeing all the ones from beginning to present to current is amazing, including the petro-electric one from 1900 (yes, 1900).

Not if they'll take it as a down payment for a new 911.

Nice! This is the semi retirement job I aspire to - would fill in my days for a few years to get me out the house and keep me busy doing something I actually enjoy.

Hope it’s working out for you.

It’s pretty awesome.

From the newest to very rare mid 90’s turbos 3.6’s.

Been there a couple of times, Stuttgart is only a few hours away for me. They change the display of cars quite frequently.
I'd also recommend going to Mercedes Benz, they have an enormous museum and it's amazing!

The art structure in the background with the three cars is very impressive.

They might look at you sideways because it’s not a German watch

It was a wonderful experience there, so much fun, the better half rented one of the media players and she totally enjoyed learning about all the exhibits!

I mean any 'luxury' events or places is not an issue. Cos everyone else is flashing higher end brands (AP, Patek etc). For the most part, people don't even care for watches in general.

It's usually the local pubs or a area where the people live off the mimimun wage which is usually $1/day. This is where people will gladly chop off your arm and sell your LV for $2000 cash at a local pawn shop.
