New here, wanted to say hey

Aloha, been lurking, but was slow to join up here, just lazy. I look forward to contributing here and there and appreciate the shared wisdom. I have a'79 930 that I attempted to sell last year and it just never happened, happy to be holding on to it and pleased to see these cars receiving all the hot attention and price appreciation presently at play. I have owned a '66 911 and this is my 5th 930 ownership experience. Think they are the shizzle!

Thanks for the welcome, nice to see you great car guys here. Certainly exciting times for the 930 market...WAY overdue! I am relieved I was able to hang on to mine and will enjoy discussing and 'gushing' over these great cars with ya'll.

Hi over here Mang, I am glad you did not sell your car and stay in this game. Yours is truly one of the nicest.

Hey Mike,
Welcome to the Pelican side. Your '79 930 still remains to be one of the nicest ones around. Glad you still enjoy it. Looking to share stories!

A fair question - particularly when asked of a guy whose first word was "Aloha".

Oh, and welcome, that's a great looking car!

It is snow! That was late spring in Tahoe, we got a late snow storm...don't worry, the black beauty resides in a comfy warm garage...aloha relates to where I am right now, south side, Maui.

It was a storm system that hit us over the weekend, then turned around and came back the other way. Hopefully it is done by the weekend.
