20 Years With my 911
So I made a video.
 I'm putting it in off-topic because 1) it's not technical, and 2) it's probably not everyone's idea of entertainment. But for those that might like it? Here it is.

Get off my lawn!

Jack, we are all jealous of your car. You made a old beater into a Star.
Thanks for that.

Thanks.
Paul, I think Noah930 must have seen a Facebook clip of mine about a home project I wrapped up earlier today. It's true that my wife doesn't let me do much around the house. But in this case she let me try it -- and it didn't turn out black or flared.

Not black or flared, can you at least bolt a wing to it?
Cool music, nice transformation and driven in anger pics, still dig the garage, a lot. Last edited by Tobra; 06-14-2018 at 07:50 PM.. |

Nice video.
 Never made 20 but I did 14 years with one Vette and 17 with another. Not in the same league as your car.

Good stuff, Jack!
I remember BB1 and when you started the adventure with BB2.

Wow...I had no idea that your car was so rough when you first bought it!
Congrats on 20 years of ownership, I'm not far behind you.

likes to left foot brake.

Such discipline to have one sports car and one race track that satisfied you during your prime driving years.
Mission accomplished you reached your sports car goals. Good luck this year setting another personal best at Big Willow.

Yo Jack put some 20 inch spinners on that biotch to celebrate 20t anniversary.
And a two tone paint job from west coast customs!! All kidding aside. 20 years is cool. I want that with my cayman. 19 to go.
