[Rot 911]

Thinking back to how the tech board was back in the early 2000s certainly makes me nostalgic if not sad. My entry into the 911 world was when I bought a 1972 911E for $5800. Remember those days? I knew virtually nothing about these cars. Other than thinking they looked really cool when I would see one drive by. My entry onto the tech board was with several stupid questions that were answered by Early_S_Man. he was a 911 guru! Back in those days they were even guys that worked on their 911s in their driveway. They were easy cars to work on and parts were not prohibitively expensive. Between the guys on the tech board and the purchase of the engine rebuilding book by the originator of this board, I was able to rebuild the engine in my 1986 911. Then 911 prices started to skyrocket, and the fun seemed to go out of owning one. Sold my 911 for twice what I paid for it, owned a couple of Boxster‘s, and then moved on to other things. Every now and then I pop in on the tech board, but like some others have said, it’s just not the same.
