I flew out, had fun in Vermont, flew back again. Didn't drink as much as last year. (Whew! Good thing, too--I still don't remember bits of last year's event!!)

Spent a few hours driving a bone stock 76 2.0, complete with skinny 165-width tires!! (Thanks, Ed!!) I forgot how nice and quiet and relatively civilized a 914 could be.

I also got to drive Ed V's turbo. Wow, talk about smooooooth! The power just comes on smoothly, which makes it feel slower than it really is--the speed totally sneaks up on you. Well balanced, from what I could tell, and very nice brakes.

And, I got to drive Dunkle's "healthy" 3.0 Six conversion. Wow. Just.... Wow.
