Elizabeth and Louis Deluca, residents of both Florida and Connecticut, have been married for over 30 years. Their love story begins not with extravagant gestures but with a twist of fate that unfolded during their first date over three decades ago. Picture this: At the end of a romantic evening, the restaurant door swings open, and there, in the glow of the moonlight, the valet pulls up with two sleek black Porsches, one for each of the newly minted couple.

So, from that night forward, the Delucas' love story not only had the timeless elements of romance but also a quirky automotive thread that continues to weave through their life journey. The black Porsches became emblematic of their shared passion, a symbol of the delightful surprises that awaited them on the road of life, always ready for the next twist, turn, or, in this case, the next synchronized shift of gears.

While many share a passion for sports cars, for the Delucas, it transcends to an unwavering devotion to everything Porsche. The brand embodies power, strength, and a unique driving experience, characteristics that align seamlessly with the couple's shared commitment to physical fitness.

Their current favorite, the Lava colored GT3RS, isn't just a showpiece in their garage – it's a daily driver. Its occasional presence on the racetrack signifies not only speed but also the unbridled enthusiasm that both Elizabeth and Louis have for the exhilarating sport. Alongside the GT3RS, their preferred track car, the GT2RS takes the spotlight on the racetrack, gobbling up the turns and creating Cheshire Cat-style grins at top speed on the straightaways.

Back home, a household rule, however, brings a touch of playful competition into their car selection process. Whoever leaves first for their daily adventures gets to choose their preferred Porsche, making some mornings a race from shower to garage.

Beyond the world of Porsches, a Ferrari Pista graces their collection. It spends most of its time on the track but occasionally hits the open road. The Delucas, however, maintain a balance between their powerful machines, understanding that each car has its own purpose and brings its own unique thrills.

Yet, even with the speed and agility of their cherished Porsches, practicality comes into play. Porsches aren't known for their spacious trunks, so the Delucas have a Porsche SUV in their stable. While it may not match the sheer power of their other cars, it proudly carries the Porsche badge and proves its worth when suitcases graduate from "carry-on size" to "check-in size."

The only catch to having cars with this much power and superb handling is that there will always be that time when you're out on a beautiful road empty of traffic, and your favorite song starts playing. It generates a twinkle in the eye and an inevitable smirk, and suddenly, you find the need to downshift, and the speed limit becomes a suggestion. That's particularly the case up in Connecticut on the twisty back roads of New Cannan, where Elizabeth and Louis find it hard not to push the cars a little harder than usual.     

     

In a world where passion meets performance, the Delucas' Porsche adventure is not just about the cars they drive; it's a celebration of the enduring love that comes from embracing life's twists and turns, both on the road and in the dance of their hearts. So, as they continue to navigate the highways of Florida and the back roads of Connecticut, the roar of engines echoing their shared laughter, the Delucas remain a testament to the timeless and thrilling journey of love.
