New York in October
New York in October. Always a solid trip. How much has been written about this city? It is the most famous in the world.

Porsche Boxster Paint Polish and Detail
It’s true that I’m a speed freak. I like fast cars. And yes, I am also a neat freak. I also like things to look really good and I’m willing to make the investment in time and effort to keep stuff looking it’s best.

Boston in October

We stayed [...]
