Chills, where were ya man? We were on your turf!

It was terrific to meet you all. You're all so normal and stuff -so unlike most other Porsche people I've met before. Thanks for making the conclusion to my Chi-town trip so great.

Bill, I forgot to get your autograph. Maybe next time. Nick, nice job on getting yourself a Texas girl! Patrick, good luck with your new job -may you engineer the heck out of those pipe projects. Mladen, thanks for the brief Serbian lessons.

It was amazing to see Đomlas' car in person -like spotting a celebrity! Here's a picture of NickCats and me standing next to the most photographed car on the board!



Now if you'll excuse me, I have a flight to catch back to Dallas today... it's supposed to be 61 degrees today...

Here's a few pix from the Chicago Auto Show.

Sorry I didn't make it out, guys. You were right up the road from me, too.


Looks like you had fun, though. I'll be out next time.

[Sammy]

It was great to meet all of you and I'm even more excited about the TOD trip!

Thanks for the drinks bmusatti and Jeph for the pizza!

DJ, your car looks awesome in person! The first thing my better half said when we got out to walk into Lou's was she thought the green Boxster looked great! The deamber job looks awesome!

Autocross season is only a month or two away. As of right now both Chicago and Milwaukee SCCA clubs have events starting the middle of April.

thx for the car comments guys.

i really enjoyed meeting you all. my GF at first didnt wanna come, couse we went to some other car meets kinda things and there was bunch of young idiots pretty much, i said that in the nicest way possible, and me and her both grew up hanging out with older more mature crowd, so we both liked it and had fun, it actualyl was better than i epected. too bad we couldnt stay longer.

jeph, my GF tought u were the goofiest/funniest person ever, shes like that guy is just so funny, and she couldnt stop laughing at the way u took that pic on the ground, it came out great actually with the lights and everything. celbrity hehehehe, too funny

sammy, ill email you my email address, we def gotta go autocrossing like we discussed, cold weather top down story was a classic.

bmussatti, forget about the warranty nonsense, come and rip it out w us at the track

and Nick, damn man u still got the tan from the honeymoon, ill never get that tanned heheheh

overall i had a lot of fun, it was great to bring out the ladies as well, now i have some people to look forward to bumping into at the PCA events and look forward to more local meets like this.
we definitely gotta do this again.

i brought my camera with me as well, but left the battery for it on the desk , u know me and pics
