986 Forum & You - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Local forum members and I would beg to differ with you. The car has two small rust spots, a thoroughly peppered front bumper, and (gasp) one of my rocker panels is pulling away from the car and I must remove it again (3rd time) and finally install it correctly.

It certainly is in the running for highest dollar amount spent on a 97 by an individual without replacing a motor.

So quit your faux praise there, you rust-free Corvette driver

BTW, I was just thinking the other day if I would ever get to Carlsbad, CA so I could shake your hand and meet you in person. I bet a lot of forum members would enjoy meeting you!

Actually, I am driving a Lexus these days. It is rust free however.

And because of gas prices, the L is mostly in the garage and the Sporty gets the nod whenever possible.

I am ALWAYS up for meeting forum members. It is a great time of year here in Carlsbad, save the wildfires.

I was mentioned to Richard Kwei the other day that we have the greatest group of forum members.

Thanks to all for visting.

I initially posted a lot - wanting to get involved and be a part of the group. Everyone's avatars gave me a sense of familiarity and eventually friendship. This is the only forum I have ever posted in until recently to help an aquaintance get a new local forum growing- so my point is that I am not a blogger or internet junky. I just like this group and I have also learned a LOT.

While I am slow at work, I have become annoyingly dependant on it for mental entertainment - salivating for new posts and comments almost daily. Its kinda pathetic. But it can also lead me to new threads of research so at least I am not clock watching.

One day I will take a pic that I like and have an avatar. I think that helps.

I check these forums once a day. Unfortunately they don't feel as relevant for a 987 owner as they do a 986 owner.

I actually probably get more useful information out of Cayman Club, but their board is a little cheesy at times with the heavy-handed cayman pride sometimes. Too much "we're going to out-911 the 911 guys!!!" if you know what I mean.

Anyhow, if anyone's down for a meet-up in San Diego/North County, I'd be interested.

Yeah, there seem to be quite a few things and most threads where 987s have no relevence, but what they hey? I never owned a 986, so I try to not stick my two cents worth into their issues. Notice I said try..................
I enjoy this forum as much as any I've been to and want to take this opportunity for some sycophantic butt schmoozing with Brucelee and Rkwei, as I have been accused of at the political sites.........but, anyway, a great big thank you to both of you guys (youz guys, y'all) for a job well done.
Like some above, my time here and times here are mostly dependent upon how busy I am at my business. Some days, it seems I'm here all day, then it may be a week, or longer, before I get chance to return.

Richard and I both enjoy the site very much.

Glad you guys do too!
