His daily driver is a Ford Focus....his coworkers didn't believe he drives a 997TT so he wanted a pic with the car haha. I just take the pics that the customer wants. He's also the vice president of PNC Bank.

Nice cars, I was expecting some wannabe "ballers". Love the Porshe as well. Although, I highly doubt he's "THE" vice president of PNC, he's probably "a" vice presdent...especially if he daily drives a Focus. Do you know how many VP's banks have? Yeah, it's a lot. :wink:

Didn't charge them anything. And they are my friends. They called me up, I was in the area anyway, so I came out and took some pics. They buy me lunch and stuff....that's good enough for me :)

I don't charge for the pics I take. It's fun for me because it's a hobby. The day it becomes freelance, it won't be the same.

LOL @ the guy


VP of PNC as a corporation or VP of PNC as a division? Personally, a VP of a huge name bank should be able to afford a $65k car. A 996tt with minimal work is so ... old.

I don't know, but does it really matter? :roll: He's got OEM GT2 bumpers and rear deck lid, Gemballa parts.....oh, and it's a 996TT. It's a nice ass car stock....then put a few small mods on it and it's tits on wheels. You call it "old." I say you're.....jealous.

I can sum up how jealous I am of a 996tt with run of the mill body work done in 3 words....




I am not.

Sorry but a 996TT is no longer a "baller" car. That's like saying an E46 M3 is a "baller" car. They're not very expensive any more, neither are E39 M5s, etc., they are nice cars no doubt about it, but the attitude that they're baller is kind of obnoxious. There are some in the area for as little as $45 - 47k depending on mileage.

Honestly if he were "ballin" he'd have a 993 Turbo S


All of those cars were "interesting" (except for the 911) but they're old cars all things considered. I have old BMWs too so its not the age that gets me, I love older cars, but I would never consider a car > 1 year old and <$150,000 to be "baller". Real ballers, some of which I know, have this years or next years car and they cost more than most houses in Bensalem.

Good luck finding a 993 Turbo S for anything close to what you'd pay for even a new C4S...those things are beyond rare.

I don't like 996's b/c they seem so ordinary. But a Porsche is a Porsche, it's not like we are discussing generations of Mustangs here!

Here we are arguing over the definition of "Baller" again. :screwy:

There are some very nice cars in this thread. And I don't call people who buy $150,000 cars every other year "Ballers"... I call them "Shallow". And it usually results from having more money than brains.

imo you don't have to be a baller to own a nice car. My friend Mario owns a 997 turbo. He is 44 and he just finished paying off his house. To celebrate he bought his dream car a 997 turbo. His daily is a jeep wrangler.

I'm just saying not everyone with a nice car is shallow, the guy bought his dream car since he was 10.

You would think that for such a "baller" you could have picked a better location than a back alley with 2 trash dumpsters in the shot.

Just My Opinion.

nice pics though, good quality. I just think you could have done better with choosing a location.

And for the record, 993>997>996 :wink:

Gemballa intake, headers, and downpipe (I think). Not sure what else. It's not a "Gemballa" Porsche, it just has parts. But it's all certified and under factory warranty and it's CPO'd by Porsche so anytime he has issues with the dealer he just shows them the letter haha.

And here's the white GT3, back in October, when he had his race wheels on.

Real ballers, some of which I know, have this years or next years car and they cost more than most houses in Bensalem.

I'm not getting into a debate with you over a word I used in the title.....none of these guys claim that they are "ballers," I just used it in the title more of a joke than anything else. They're all really humble guys and really down to earth, they're cooler than most SRT-4 and Evo owners I've met.

And the price of the car doesn't matter. They're all nice cars. The M3 and CLK are both supercharged with over 500hp. So anyway.....they're nice cars, you don't like them, let's just end the discussion with a punch in the face and a beer afterwards.

But a Porsche is a Porsche, it's not like we are discussing generations of Mustangs here!

Exactly. They're nice cars. I don't care if it's a Civic or a Porsche or an Enzo or a 32 Ford Coupe or a lifted F250 on huge mud tires. What ever happened to people just appreciating a nice car for what it is?

It was originally supposed to be a photoshoot just for the 996. He had a nice industrial location picked out, but they just started construction near there and he couldn't get his car into the area because of a ramp that is too steep for his car. So we called some friends and everyone just cruised for a while, then we stopped at a park, and he just wanted the contrast of the red dumpsters against his silver car. Neither one of us really "chose" the location. It's not like this was for a car magazine photoshoot...it was just something fun to do on a Sunday afternoon.
