[Chocaholic]

Been here since around 2002. Realized a few years later that it was stupid to use my real full name as my account name, so changed it in 06. Used to keep chocolate candies in my office fridge for when my kids came home from school. Was chowing down with my then 10 year old daughter while trying to think of a new handle. She’s 22 now.

Have seen many come and go. As already said, with 911 prices where they are, few newcomers can afford it like we did. A shame. I sold my 87 Targa last year for stupid money. With retirement a few years off and 3 kids in college, it made sense. Picked up a 2010 Miata with a PRHT and 6 speed. The car was cheap, reliable and fun as hell to drive. Would rather spend money on motorcycles. Looking for a nice /2 currently.

I bounce back and forth between OT and PARF. Both are fun for different reasons. If you don’t take PARF too seriously, and realize we’re all friends, the sparring takes on an enjoyable vibe. Pelican and ADV are my go-to’s. Even though I no longer own a Porsche and no longer ride off road.

Pelican has become a great “life” resource for many. I’ve learned more from you guys than I can even recall. Honored to be part of the club.
