5 min walk from the dealership is a great breakfast joint, ohh and this McLaren Dealership I guess.

They’re backing out the McLarens into spots for the day and THE NOISES!!

That is like 5 minutes from me. I pass by there all the time going to the Home depot up the street.

Why can’t the employees park the car IN the actual parking spaces?

Why aren’t the cars parked all the way into the spots? You don’t need a five foot cushion to avoid the curb.

Bought my Cayman from Norwell but it’s over an hour away and my closest is 15 minutes, but Norwell has a track day special at Palmer coming up.

Do you know Strawberry Fair?

Not sure but I’d guess because it ab uts a busy street?

Might be proximity to busy street and cost of their cars?

Well ok, but only if you insist.

i noticed it in the background. that was actually what made me realize where you were.

That could be it - our local Ferrari/Macca/Porsche/Aston dealer had a big island constructed just outside the showroom to park their higher end stuff on. Visible from a highway and major road, but not close.

Maybe it’s landscaping day.

Or, they just randomly change the display every day. Backed in one day, at a 45 degree angle the next, etc.

Oh haha this breakfast is delicious. I was starving all the way through traffic to get here.

For some reason I feel fine walking through a parking lot of expensive cars, but if one is singled out on an island I get all nervous.

Right? Sneaking up to it, casting sideways glances making sure nobody is coming to tackle you.

If they had a GT4 on the lot, would you trade in the current Cayma n?

Taking pictures like, “Hmm is there service here? Is there service over here?” *click click*

Everyone knows a 720S looks best at 55° in the morning and 25° at night.

Nah. The Porsche dealership has tons of limited edition 911 and Cayman/Boxster, and the GT4 is a dream car. But, I can afford the S and tracking it. If I had a GT4 with my current income I’d treat it way way better and couldn’t track it, so essentially it would be used for the exact opposite of it's purpose. At least I can hang with the very novice driver's in their GT4 lol

That way you can open the hood and check out the engine without being in the shrubs. O wait

Track inspection at the dealer? I think you need to find a good indy shop for that sort of stuff.

It’s probably so customers can get a better view walking around the cars. Half their reason for existing is to look pretty from the outside after all.

I see what you did there...

Poor_Sh > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com

I do! But this track event is THROUGH the dealer and therefore it’s a screaming deal. $300 for day at the track, the inspection, and a brake flush is included.

Oh also PCA has certified shops for inspections. So I have an Indy but it can’t just be any.

Aha - very nice!

I need to get another track day on the calendar...

I have this one, then 2 more in September again at Palmer.

The McLaren dealership is fine and all, but you certainly, absolutely did not give us enough about this great breakfast joint.

OH it’s called Strawberry Fair, its super cute and home-like with a menu I need to try more of and a delicious ome lette-type-thingy I had called a Breakfast Pizza. Also, they have sweet potato home fries... which are incredible.

This sounds right up my alley. I love a good breakfast place, and a breakfast pizza type thing? Yes, please!

track/dragon inspection? :D

Ish? I definitely will need new front pads for my Sept 21-22 track event, so I mayyyy have them on for the Dragon. New brake pads and fluid could be incredible on the Dragon. Oh also I’m hitting a significant portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway on the way down!
