Why 6 Behind
The name starts with the six cylinders behind us. The rest is the road ahead.
We are Retha and David. We love the way a great car and a great road can turn a trip into a story. 6 Behind is our place to share those drives, the stops we remember, and the moments between destinations.
Why the name?
Six cylinders behind us. The road ahead. It is a nod to the Porsche experience and a reminder to keep looking forward. The car matters, but so does the journey it makes possible.
What you will find here
Road-trip stories, films, Porsche conversations, and the places that make us want to take the long way. Our two benchmark drives are New Mexico 152 through the Gila National Forest and US 64 through Colfax County. Each has a different rhythm; both are spectacular.
The first films are taking shape. Follow along on YouTube and Instagram as the road journal grows.
The Whole Outfit
From European Classics to My Dream Porsche 911
From admiring European classics to assembling the whole outfit in a menswear store, David traces the eye for color, craftsmanship, and detail that shaped his dream 911 Targa.
Irish Green, a brown roof, a silver Targa bar, Cognac leather—and the unexpected flashes of color that bring it all together.

I don’t think David and I will ever tire of road trips.
There’s a lot going on inside that car when we travel. More than I realized until I started trying to explain why we love it so much.
