Me too! My wife is also a driver that appreciates cars. Her DD is an Audi S5 cab. We autocrossed together in the 80s, took the Bondurant 3 day HPDE class together in 2015 and did a half day together at Exotics Racing in 2016 (570s and F430F1). Just consulted with her when I was having trouble deciding on color choices for our 986’s Rennline fire extinguisher and mount.

It’s a big change. I’m moving out about 6 months ahead of my wife. Couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

I'm a little late as I don't stop by here too often anymore but congratulations! This sounds like a fantastic opportunity.

I don't have a main job yet. I'm a student for now. I'm studying astronomy. I really like it. Reading articles (like this about Ceres, the dwarf planet, https://solarstory.net/planets/ceres), books, watching stars with a telescope of course. But my current side job is testing and a bit coding. I don't do a lot but still.

Both the wife and I are retired. She was a Registered Nurse who headed a Cardiovascular Surgery unit for her last 45 years of work. I was in property management for years and also managed to restore 400+ vehicles on the side over the last 50 years. 25 were Porsches.

I'm 68 and retired. Whew, never thought I'd make it! When I was in grade school back in the early 60's, 2019 was unimagineable. Heck the 90's seemed like the far far future.

I would still be working, driving seasonal trucks for harvest in Washington State. But my Diabetes really blew up about 4 years ago and I lost my CDL 'cause I couldn't pass the DOT physical anymore. I didn't love driving, but did enjoy the extra money and the opportunity to get away from the Tucson heat for 3 months.

I like being retired. My Medicare Advantage coverage is better than I've ever had. It's what I hoped Obamacare would be for the rest of you. I live a "manana" existence. If I don't do it today, there's always tomorrow. I admit I'm slowing down, I usually nap in the morning. Love my projects tho.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Porsche Friends!

Haha what a joke education is.

I'm an ounce short of a second undergraduate degree in Mech engineering. I have a BMS degree from MSU, and I did an AS in radiography. I had a license to practice and all. Shoot I've got almost 200 undergraduate credit hours; and only a handful of gen eds (so most classes are science and math). My lowest grade in any chemistry course was a 99%; I've taken all from general to organic. All that and my GPA is a 3.9 (that's back when they still scaled it 1-4; apparently you can get a 5.0 now)

I work at firestone complete auto care. I change your oil. Welcome to 2019.

I'm not bitter like most I just don't think people should be buying into a dream. Education had me thinking the only way to succeed was to "buy the product". I know now you can just buy a book... read it... and it cost less than a semester at college.
