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.

Bin here since 2000.

Prior to that I was on the PCA Potomac group/forum. I don't know why there as I live quite some distance away, but hey, the internet is like that.

I enjoy you guy's (internet) company, so thanks.

No, but when one rolls up it gets respect. Hell, even my 944 has been getting lots of looks lately!

He earned and deserves all the good things that have come to him.
This world could use a lot more waynes.

I'm still here after 20+ years (yes, I was on the old pelican forum for a bit before they switched over to this new format and we all had to get new usernames/logons, etc, hence the oldest member being in 2000) I still try to log on everyday and started in the tech forum, (the OT forum wasn't around back then) but I only go there 1-2 times every other week or so now.

And more importantly, I still have a Porsche. I think I'm on #14 now..! Longest I've gone without one in the last 25 years was just a few weeks in between the selling of one and the buying of the next one.

Lurked a few years and joined in 2004 to get advise about a pesky problem with my 73.5. Received good counseling and been here ever since........

Joined when I bought my 912E in 2001 and have been mostly a lurker and a rare poster. The forum has given me so much information both on the 912 and on my ‘79 SC that I sold in 2006. Now I check this forum frequently for posts that seem to have interesting content.

I've been here a little over 7 years since I bought my first original 83 Porsche 944. I drove that car everywhere, but eventually the car succumbed to a drunk driver running a stop sign into the side of me. We were both doing 60 mph, and the car protected my life, but still broke 17 bones.

I bought my current 944 while still in a wheelchair, and was the first 5 speed I had driven with the new pieced together hip. It is for sale now, but I still plan on being apart of this community without actually owning one.

I post less frequently but check in a dozen times a day or so.

So you learned not to cut your sack, while wearing a coboy hat, and using the free geraror right?

Been around a while too. More reading than posting. Learned a lot. Feel like I know each of you guys.

Most of the air cooled cars are now in collections being lightly dusted on a weekly basis, not really the target customers for a DIY forum. Right now Rennlist owns the market for the newer cars, but Rennlist sorta sucks.

Yes, a water cooled enthusiast site is really needed. RL is not even close, unless you want 101 variations on the "will this tire fit my car?" theme. But it is all we have right now, so I won't break bad on it.

If you want to have a site for the future of Porsche you may be looking at all electric SUVs and pickup trucks. :(
