Met my first wine and cheeser Options

[spare time toys]

I guess I have gotten used to the fact that everyone I know works on thier cars. I have four friends at work who have Porsches they work on them the Vette guys work on thier cars, heck even the couple of Vipre guys fix thier own cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) Well tonight I took me girl over to a friends house and knew her dad had a Porsche. Cool I think another P car guy I will get to know. He comes to the door and I ask him about his Porsche and tell him I have a 71 914. He says his is a Porsha ( correcting my yanky pronunciation) C4s. I say cool and tell him I am heading out to Cal. in a couple of weeks to get a 928 for the engine and put it in the14. He has the deer in the headlights look (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) and tells me " I take my car to the dealer when it needs anything" I look at my watch whoops gotta go (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I bring my Boxster to the dealer for everything since it is under warranty and I dont have a garage to work on the car. Also saves me a trip when they find warranty work. I think many 996/997 drivers take same approach. I do basics on my current 914, but frankly I would rather pay a good 914 mechnic to work on my car. I use to do all the work on my past 914's, but I find I just get frustrated with lack of garage and tools where I live now.

I think a variety of people enjoy Porsches (Porsha and Porsch). Some are mechanically clueless, but they still enjoy their cars. I dont think you have to know how to wrench on a car to be part of the "in club".
