Anyone want to set up a way so that we can identify other 986 members? I know we'll get nametags, how about we write 986forum underneath our names?

Alex, I think you just volunteered to call out before the drivers meeting so we can meet and greet the forum members.
You'll find my car by a Guinness logo on the wind deflector, and find me as the redhead detailing it one last time.

Yeah, responsibility sucks. That's why I delegated it 
I know Wingnut2u and you know Tightbox and stateofideleness, so you look for me, I'll look for you, and then we can get everyone together without needing to make a general announcement.

Sounds like a plan. I'll be the 19 year old kid in the crappy silver box.

Camera and detailing supplies. Fredericksburg Inn has a hose and there is always someone washing their car.

Good deal. I've never "detailed" my car since getting it from the dealer.... Hopefully I can learn some great tips on washing and waxing. Black boxster always shows water spots, swirls, and generally not as "shiny" as the day I bought it.

I washed, polished and waxed mine on monday and she's been in the garage since. I did some swirl remover polish and it did a pretty good job. I think it was 3M imperial? I'd like to know what stuff you all use for the windows, it seems the stuff I've tried always leaves some streaks that show up in the direct sunlight. Pretty annoying when driving.
Oh, and hopefully it doesn't rain tomorrow. It's been raining on and off here in Austin for the past few days.
