Tech Guy! I bought a new machine (Velocity Micro) with Vista and it seems Vista is a memory whore. I have 2G of memory but 35% is used with nothing open (and there isn't much running in the background). Do you recommend going to 4G of memory for Vista. Just Curious.

Doug, you present yourself on-air to be much older than you really are. No wonder they chose you for the job. You do a great job. And I loved the 986 on the monitor in the background!
I'm gonna think up a real good question so I can get my name on the air too!

Been here for awhile, time to say hi
OK, I have been lurking here for awhile & it is time to introduce myself. I got a 2000 986 in March '03. It had 3000 miles at the time (dealer story: one of many that were collected by ex-marine.... never saw bad weather... garage queen). It has basically been my daily driver since. Never had a serious problem with the car. Mods I have completed:
Replaced top with GAHH glass (most serious mod needed b/c of tear in plastic)
summer (18") & winter (17" original) wheels/tires
Replaced HU with Alpine with Sirius & iPod connect
Rear speakers
Replaced all stock speakers
Aluminum e-brake
3 spoke steering wheel
clear bra
TT front bumper
I have to thank everyone here for info on the car & how to do alot of these things myself.
OK, the 18" are Moda R6 and are bright silver, not chrome. If I would have know of Wheel Dynamics at the time I would have bought the 5 spoke Carrera's from them, but these looked close to me.
Gotta say after reading all the track talk I want to get out there, however I would fail the broomstick test w/o a problem (I am 6'3" and my head w/o helmet is above the rolbar).
I have been considering adding HP to the car for my next mod. However, it has worked perfectly since I bought it & I don't want to 'F' something up that is dependable. So I am considering the Porsche Driving Exp in Alabama with my next bonus to test my abilities in the P-car, b/c I am sure that I could get more out of it as is.
Some pics included, and the new delimiter on the $ spent for the 986.
Thank you all.

Okay -- so here's a pic of me outside our research center, (sorry, but I've always had this compulsive urge to climb up on things, even Porsches..).

24 years too late for those 944 rip-off fender flairs. Too little too late for that little wing on that corrola-esque 4-door...zzzzzz

Actually with new rubber and sway bars (1k-ish total) you'd be surprised at how well it will do in autocross. It's obviously not going to stack up driver-for-driver, but....

@Kraker... That's an old picture. Still got the ugly yellow under the headlights though. Can't find a cheap way to do it other than actually buying clear/smoked healights for like $1K! I'll let you know about this Sunday.
