Franz was one of four kittens born
to Trist and Aries. Alas, he didn't
live quite into adulthood due to a
birth defect. Franz was sweet and
playful, and very good looking!
This 1982 Porsche 924 Turbo is
one of less than 900 produced in
this year. Well-preserved for a 30+
year-old Porsche, Franz is ready
for many more years of fun driving!

legacy. He has 230,000 mi. and

2003 996 Carrera
Emma was a spirited Red Doberman.
There were several squirrels in the back
yard that she used to chase. She was
fast and agile. Being a Red, she was
more fragile than her Black conterparts
so she was required to sleep in the bed
under the covers!
The 2003 Black Carrera is named after
Emma because she was always a blast
to be around. She has 70,000 miles
and just keeps asking for more fun!

Snickers lived for 21 years and

Since the cat was dearly missed,
it made sense to keep his memory
alive with this in-CAR-nation.
Snickers the car is indeed very
