He's on a first-name basis with his local Porsche dealership staff and considers the Porsche 911 to be his spirit animal. Ask him about the weather, and he'll tell you how the Porsche 911 handles in the rain. Mention your vacation plans, and he'll explain the best scenic routes to drive a Porsche. In short, Pete's life is a high-speed adventure with Porsche as the co-pilot.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.nickdellis.com\/","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/nick.dellis.3","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dellisn\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/1nickdellis\/"],"url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/caradmin\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175162"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175162\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
