I’d say more than half of our local Cars and Coffee crowd is between 20 and 40. But they aren’t driving $50k+ air cooled 911s either.

I've been on here, mostly just enjoying the conversations and contributing when I can since 2004. I added a Triumph TR6 to our garage 2 years ago because it's relatively inexpensive and a lot of fun to mess with and also a fun ride (no 911 of course, but still a lot of fun). It's not likely to go through the roof in value in my lifetime, so I can drive it all I want and not worry about the miles. Another upside to the TR6 is a large, supportive community and lots of sources of parts and advice. $20,000. will get you a really good one.

Still check in every now and then. Spend much of my internet time now watching youtube projects/builds in hopes it will motivate me to finish some of my projects that I am getting too old and lazy to finish.

I started on the Rennlist email list back in 1999. I think I was there for a year or two before I swapped to Pelican Parts and I've been here since. I did spend some time in the middle on miata.net forums and then a short time on a miata forum that specialized in the turbo miatas, but even with that, I never left PP. I started on the 911 tech board here. I've been mostly exclusive to PPOT for the past 14-15 years now though. It is interesting to see the changes here over time.

Just looked, been on here 11 years and not planing on leaving any time soon, although the 924S is garage bound these days, and my spare time & money is spent prepping and autoXing my Brabus Smart ForFour W454.

Ticks all boxes



Just realized , i'm almost 16 years in here

I knew nothing bout cars, bought a 73S with more issues then I have myself.
And was in over my head but didnt't even realize it.

If I read back my first posts about the then new to me car
I think to myself, "you dumbass."

[strupgolf]

I visit every day because I have time. But more importantly, I love the conversation of all on here. I don't own a Pcar now, but when I did I found such great help from all. The random pics site is funny for my wife and I. It's just a place where I have many friends I never had before.

The Wayne thing still irks me

[Brillo]

I’ve been on here a while but don’t post much. Guess I’m more of a lurker. Last year I moved to central Texas from outside of LA, CA. Got a new home with 45 acres, brought all of my vehicles including both Porsche’s. Haven’t been on much with move and doing “chores” here. I’m going to try to lurk again

I'm still here after 19 years. Started on the 911 tech forum when I had my 911SC. After selling it I started hanging here in OT. I hang on Rennlist now for the technical braintrust on my water pumper GT3. I agree with above comments that it's unfortunate that Pelican missed the boat on the water pumper forum crowd. I despise Rennlist's interface but that's where the water pumper community and knowledge base is.

I also will echo above comments...I learn so much from you guys here. I post a fraction as much as I read. There are some amazing people here on the forum.

[gatotom]

Found this place back then looking for answers on repairing my then 911. The 911 is gone and I keep looking for the next right 911 but haven't pulled the trigger.

I don't post much but usually read and listen. I have enjoyed this site for yrs and hopefully for yrs in the future.

[TWork]

It's been a while, but I still come in and check in on things and see who of the long-timers are still around. Great group of folks.

Newbie here, but IMO Wayne embodies the American dream and spirit.
He stuck his neck out and risked everything. He worked hard and eventually reaped the rewards for all he sacrificed.
He earned and deserves all the good things that have come to him.
This world could use a lot more Waynes.

^^^This is spot on.

I think I've been here since 2001. I had a different username back then. Stopped posting when I focused on my British cars for a few years, then came back in 2008. Rarely post anymore, but still read threads.

[shadowjack1]

I come here several times a day. Asyou can see by my post count I don't do much. I rear and learn lots. There is a very great deal of knowledge on this board. I was on porschephiles back in 1994. I died out. I lost my SC to Katrina , and did nothing with Porsches until 2011. I purchased an 88' and have been here ever since. I like the group and look forward to learning more.
Thanks everyone.
