Bay Area meetup?

tahoe_snow · 03-18-2007, 07:50 PM

I was wondering if anyone might be interested in a Bay Area meetup this week. I usually keep my p-car in Tahoe, but I decided to take it with me to San Francisco this week. The car ran well and I enjoyed the ride until I got to about Faifield, and I really noticed to poor condition of Highway 80. I make this trip all the time and I hardly even notice it in my commuter car.

I decided to take the gf up to Tomales Bay for oysters today. In the end, she wasn't too happy. It was a pretty rough/loud ride on Sir Frances Drake out to the coast. Between the chatter of the suspension and the low RPM resonance of the exhaust, I think she had a point. It was the first time I pulled up next to a Boxster and felt sort of envious. I really enjoy driving the 911 in the mountains around Tahoe, but for puttering around the Bay Area with the other Sunday drivers, I'd probably want a different setup.

So back to the point. I'm curious how other people have their cars setup down here and was wondering if anybody might be interested in a show and tell after work (I'm headed back up to Tahoe Thursday night). If you are interested in hearing the SSI+M&K exhaust, I have a fresh example on my car.

Cheers,

-Chris

Which car do you have in Carson City? I'll be up there this weekend.

neither right now. my buddies are bringing the 80 turbo out from NH on Tues or Wed. So if they make it ( few things to finish up) it should be here on the weekend. We'll be skiing Kirkwood

Stuck in traffic in the Bay Area in a 911 is not fun. Driving it along coastal roads is a blast though. You must've not been on the fun roads. Where are you going to be this week? I'll see if I can make it. There is a huge contingent of Bay Area Pelicans. Check out the website below.

How about Wednesday after work? Looks like the weather should clear out. I'm out in the Richmond (18th and Clement), but I'm thinking it might make more sense to meet near the Presidio. Somewhere where there is parking.

9dreizig, you better get your skiing in fast. It has pretty warm up in Tahoe. BTW, I love driving up the canyon from Carson Valley to Kirkwood. It is one of the reasons I bought a Porsche in the first place.

looks like there is a storm moving in Tue-Wed. I'm in AK right now skiing and it's only 9 deg out , skied today and sat.. I love that drive too!!

The weather cleared out nicely. I think I'm going to go for a ride up ~~Mt. Tam to San Anselmo~~ Panoramic to Stinson Beach after work. If anybody is interested, email me at christopher@baus.net. I think the Sports Basement near the Presidio might be a decent place to meet around 6:30.

Ok the weather is amazing right now. I can't wait to get away from my desk. I'll stop over to the Sports Basement on my way to Marin. Any takers?

cantdrv55 · 03-21-2007, 04:30 PM

Sorry, can't make it. Maybe we can hook up next time I'm min Reno/Carson City/Sparks or Fallon. Will be there on 4/23.

Looks liked I missed this yesterday.... How'd it go?

Let us know when you are in town again. I would like to hear that exhaust.
