911 Carrera is too small

Would have crawl into, and crawl out of….Not for me anymore

Once in late 1970s….buddy drove his 911 Porsche…
North from San Jose, Winchester Blvd, from up 280 to South San Francisco at about 105mph
To drop of Bid that was due at 1pm

NEVER Again did I get into someone else’s sports car

Hmmmmmm…..I can’t recall IF Hwy 280 was completely built all the way back then or not
