Forgot to walk the dog. Maybe I'll see if she's up for a spin around the block. Doodie duty.

If you have the money to play with, go with some R compounds. :D But once you do, you'll never go back and therein lies the money issue. :D How often do you drive the 930 to Bakersfield or Oxnard these days?

Noah930 12-30-2012 01:45 AM

I take the 911 to those places maybe once per month, max. I don't know if I'm fast enough to warrant the additional cost of R-compounds. There's time to be made up in other places than just tires. Behind the wheel ,as opposed to around the wheels. And if the NT05s only lasted me 6K miles, I'm afraid of how short-lived NT01s will be.

I've been callin' to see if you're interested in getting together for lunch or something.

slodave 12-30-2012 01:49 AM

It's also what you do with your 930. Street driving doesn't warrant R compounds, but they do look cool and do turn heads! :D If you plan to do more AX's or DE's, then they do have some merit, but yes, your 930 (as my 911) has more to offer in stock form and we just don't know how to use it.

Yup, it's about that time of night!

BTW, what number have you been calling?? And from what number? If it's an 800, yeah, I ignore those.

Noah930 12-30-2012 01:56 AM

I'm leaning towards the NT05s. Time is the biggest reason for not doing more AXs. $$$$ is the biggest reason for not getting into DEs.

I met a guy at Hugh R's once. Apparently this guy is big into POC racing--runs a 944 with a LS6 motor. Super enthusiastic about the racing experience and high level of driver training in POC. I'd **love** to do it, but I have nowhere near the money nor time to get into racing, even at a Spec Miata level.

Noah930 12-30-2012 01:57 AM

Hmm. When I call, I get your voicemail. I leave a message. From my cell.

slodave 12-30-2012 01:59 AM

Okay, I see one from 16:37 yesterday. Not sure why I did not see that earlier. How many before that??

Noah930 12-30-2012 02:00 AM

Maybe one or two from Thursday and/or Friday.

slodave 12-30-2012 02:01 AM

Really? (rhetorical) I just restarted my iPhone....

Noah930 12-30-2012 02:02 AM

Yeah. Just wanted to wish you Happy Holidays. See if you were interested in getting together for lunch or dinner.

slodave 12-30-2012 02:03 AM

Hmmm. Just called my VM and no messages I have missed.

Sorry about that, not sure what to say.

slodave 12-30-2012 02:06 AM

I'm around. :) Not much going on in the next few days... I'll be at TRE for the bagels, but I am not going on the drive this year.

Jim Richards 12-30-2012 02:48 AM

Morning, night owls. SmileWavy

slodave 12-30-2012 03:03 AM

Morning, Jim.

A slightly different version exists on FB.

You starting to sleep in, Rick?? :)

Rick V 12-30-2012 03:57 AM

Morning Dave.
I guess so, the cold of winter makes me sleep longer. I could be a bear

slodave 12-30-2012 04:00 AM

With soft hands! Or man paws!

Rick V 12-30-2012 04:01 AM

I put ground glass in the wax
