' gonna make one last try at getting in with the local Porsche club snobs
 
A Porschephile is a Porschephile. Since there are so few in my bucolic area, I'm gonna have to suck it up and try to get along with the wine and cheese set.

First order is to get the ol' girl cleaned up....so much pollen dust this time of year. Need to make a good impression...Zymol acceptable to the polish and pose crowd?

After I clean her up, I think I better take a peace offering of wine and cheese. Wouldn't you agree? And shouldn't I take enough for everybody to share?

This ought to impress 'em....

Now...how many styrofoam cups should I take?

Thats good enough to drink right out of the box

dhoward 03-11-2009 08:11 AM

You'll need a plastic knife to cut your processed cheese food product...

Rikao4 03-11-2009 08:11 AM

the pca club here is the same. there are a couple of guy's that are ok.

poorsche930 03-11-2009 08:14 AM

HAAHAHAHAHAH! http://websmileys.com/sm/happy/1459.gif

No longer a PCA member for the same reason. Stuffy, snobbish, cliquish, there were a few cool ones though. I expect a Ferrari club to be like that, not a club from a car that actually gets driven.

Fuzzy dice.

cgarr 03-11-2009 08:19 AM

Wow you got the good stuff! I usually bring my Government cheese....

vleveeta goes great with opossum. throw a carcass on the manifold. should be nice and cooked by the time you arrive.



p.s.
these clubs usually meet in the same spot every week. be sure to mark your parking space with a nice big oil stain.

Craig, you don't think I'm being too pretentious with the Ritz crackers instead of Saltines? I don't want to give the impression I'm trying too hard for them to like me....:(

Rick Lee 03-11-2009 08:53 AM

I was kinda spoiled in the Potomac PCA. There was a small wine and cheese contingent. But there was a much larger faction who were hardcore track junkies and/or DIY wrenchers. Our wine and cheese parties were really engine drop parties, usually early in the morning with donuts and coffee that sometimes went to lunchtime when we then ordered pizzas. Eventually, so many of us had done it so many times, that we were good and fast enough to knock out major jobs on our own without making an event out of it. Really kind of killed the clique too. For several years there was a party like this almost every Saturday or at least a tech inspection at a local Porsche shop. It all seems so 2003 now that we've all done it so many times.

I assumed you just squeezed it out of the tube!

I can't speak for the PCA region around here since I've yet to attend any of their events but I can say that the Vancouver Island Region is a fantastic group of down-to-earth Porsche enthusasts. I miss those guys (and gals)! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/sad2.gif

Get a small cardboard box of denobilis. Eveyone loves the aroma of those!:D

TerryH 03-11-2009 09:13 AM

Were the groceries meant to be funny? All 3 are on my short list when I stop at Rite Aid. Jalepeno cheese is my favorite, but Velveeta is good for grilled cheese and I usually get red wine box for the resveratrol.

Yeah, Randy...I was thinking about that. Would it be bad form to "re-gift" my collection accumulated over the past ten years in my desk drawer? You know...the ones that have the "Its a Boy" or "Its a girl" wrappers?

CJFusco 03-11-2009 09:30 AM

Wow, I must have it made! The CT PCAers are, for the most part, REAL Porsche guys. I remember going to a swap meet a few years back in which the most popular car was a 934esque 930 that could be most accurately described as a monster. I talked to the owner for a solid hour-and-a-half. The other car that drew a crowd was the hot rod 914 with a V8 and a very loud paint job. The 996s and Boxsters were ignored.

mossguy 03-11-2009 09:39 AM

Dueller,
With that attitude, maybe you should stay home. If that chip falls off your shoulder, it could break your toes!

Best,
Tom

Lighten up, Francis. Just a little attempt at hump day humor. Sorry you missed the double entendre.

FWIW the local Pcar organization has all types of afficionados from all walks of life and all age groups. To a man (and woman) we all poke jabs at the others' particular Porsche fetishes with good humor and no hurt feelings. To wit: I could show up with the pictured cache and everybody would "get it" and have a good laugh.

So who really has the chip?

Peace,

jim

Dueller,

I did miss your double entendre. I guess I took your (attempt at) humor at face value. My mistake.

I guess you missed my attempt at humor, as well.

Best,
Tom

CJFusco 03-11-2009 10:05 AM

Hah, I just figured that Tom was being ironic as well. I'm from such a cynical generation.

Dueller 03-11-2009 10:19 AM

I'm so confused.:confused:

Irony. Cynicism. WHERE WILL IT ALL END?

I mean...I went to the trouble to photograph redneck foodstuffs from my pantry on my ratty 911 just for *****s and giggles to make my buds on PPOT smile. See what self deprication gets me?;)

rouxroux 03-11-2009 10:20 AM

Man, Oh man, do I ever feel your pain. Here's the rundown from our region...

January: Wine tasting party

February: Nothing on the calendar

March: Nothing on the calendar so far.

Hell, I decided it was time to take one of the 911's in to have some rock chips "freshened up"...My wife can still drive her 911, I'll just have to chase her around in a 'Vette or 'Vair.

EDIT: And no, we did not attend the wine-tasting party...We were out of town...hehe

Dueller 03-11-2009 10:23 AM

Hey, Budreaux...ever run No Problem events?

pwd72s 03-11-2009 10:54 AM

speakin' of stogies, the feds are hiking the tax on them by 56%...the tax is in place on April 1st...no joke.

Fuzzy dice? BTDT...They were NOT kindly received by some.

Love the thread concept...LOL!

Bill Douglas 03-11-2009 11:00 AM

You might be suprised. I somehow got got invited to a very snobish Porsche event in town, so as a joke I got there a couple of hours early and parked the SC right in front of the main doors. LOL as it turned out the SC was a big hit and most of the people there hadn't seen a SC in a while. Excellent wine, good food, and one or two quite good looking MILFs floating about too.

Did you ever meet Lisa Miller? Very good looking and drives a red 944.

Porsche-O-Phile 03-11-2009 11:23 AM

Try showing up at a meeting with a 944. It's as if you had leprosy.

The shame. The ignomy. I'm such a loser.:p

Seriously, I may need to do a self check on my personna. Last night a woman I had not met but who recently started frequenting my wife's restaurant came up to me in a group and said "You know I thought you didn't like me, but now I realize you're a smart azz to everyone." She was quite pleasant about her observatiojn and almost seemed content with the fact that I treated her like all the other "regulars." Who knows?:rolleyes:

I'd know her if I saw her. But most of our engine parties were sausage parties. Jim Richards's wife came once in a while and even helped out on my first Carrera, but she's a trooper.

Hey Dueller,

Ask her how she feels about golden retrievers and if, in your judgement, gives a great answer, set me up?????

This is a great post, I have been cracking up on how it is going. But if it does get serious I am going to . . . ??? Oh hell, I forgot.

We'd love to...however, NPR is as far away from our location as you can get in LA...We can go out to DFW in 3 hours, NPR takes at least 5 (trust me, after having season tickets for the Saints games and driving home, it's a hard drive). I guess we'll either have to hang with the DFW bunch or head up into the Ozarks.
