possible pelican sighting in VA

I saw this incredibly cool Porsche in the Courthouse neighborhood of Arlington, VA on Thursday night. I thought it might be someone here, as it had track stickers (including a nurburgring decal) and a ful racing cage installed. Pardon the crappy picture - my cell phone was all I had on me.

nope, but you're close

I was having drinks as an excuse to check out Eli's cab, (behind my car)... or was it checking out the car as an excuse to have drinks.... I'll get back to you on that

He did mention the pool hall near there so I am scheduled to be there sometime. (It's kinda like Irish pubs, can't really pass one by w/o checking it out)

they are speed-enhancing decals

(the 'Ring sticker is fresh from the fatherland, thanks Doug! )

But can you tell how high your temps are getting from the speed enhancing stickers? I'm guessing they change colors the faster you go . BTW: Where's your red Porsche racing sticker?

I'm not on dorkiphus.com... has someone been using my screen name?!?!

I'm guessing you and Eli were in Dremo's? I love that place... rumor has it the owner is selling the land to developers.

Keep me in the loop regarding drinks/car checkout. I'll bring my HOT BMW e30. I have aspirations of it being a track rat.

(the cab was cool too... that's more or less what I really want when I get around to buying a porsche)

Yeah Doug, it's really cool. I consider it one of the most bad-a$$ yet unassuming stickers, all at the same time. Next fun run, DE, drop... I owe you a six of your favorite. Thanks.




David,
No one that I know is using your screen name. Just from your location I figured you were a lurker on dorki. You *are* aware of dorkiphus.com, right?

Join if you aren't, all you need is an appreciation for beer and Porsches. You're not the only one w/ an E30, either. With Schattenbaum region's track days, you can run your BMW track rat along with us!
