Im' happy I found this place

Yeah, I like it.
I bought my 911 last year, I have been interested in them since I was a kid. I used to draw pictures of them in junior high It has been an amazing experience so far, I have a feeling that I will always have a Porsche, for the rest of my life. I took some pictues of my son tonight, he is one, in the drives seat, holding the steering wheel. I have a feeling that he to will enjoy a well.

welcome, lyon. it's a great community. i've been around about 6 years and have made great online friends and met some in person, too..always a positive experience. it's kind of a tradition to post a pic of your car when you join, too, btw..

Yep, we need pics of the car, lyon. I suspect that you meant to post one by your text. Either you didn't post it correctly, or maybe you have a space or other illegal character in the filename.

Try again.

Ryan, very cool, I love seeing 911s in the snow.

lyon,
Beautiful car! Welcome aboard! You will find that this website will provide you with almost everything you'll need to keep your car on the road and running well. The other thing you'll need is German beer, but you'll have to take care of that yourself!

That tire tread looks like Yokahama ES 100's, they don't like the cold at all.

Nice car, really nice.

Ryan,
Quit showing off with your fancy schmantsy 964! You used to be such a humble guy when you had the mid-year!
