Default Ex-Porsche Driver

I am just recently moved to Virginia from Japan, where I was involved with a group of Porsche owners. I never owned one due to salary and family concerns, but I had the opportunity to drive several different models, including my brother-in-laws 1991 Carrera 4, and was invited to drive my 1995 Mercedes E 340 on a monthly fun-run into the mountains near where I lived. I was able to outdrive the Boxsters and the older 964s and 930s that were involved in these runs. I also occasionally passed a 993 here and there, but that was only if the driver didn't know how to drive their car. I am currently job hunting, but I hope to be able to buy a (very) used 964 sometime in the next year or two, and would like to be able to talk to people who could support me in my endeavours to finally own a Porsche. I know I could easily get a Boxster, but I need a back seat for my son to ride in. Thank you for any help you can send my way.

No... she is still sleeping under her cover... FWIW, I am in Richmond 3-4 times a week, adn am looking for a house down there as I type this..

My EX and Kids live just north of Richmond, havent I mentioned I have almost 12000 miles on my car since bolting the head back on in February?

I source most of my body supplies from a supply place in Richmond, and will be down there this evening, and probably tomorrow or Saturday to scavenge some parts... Its only about an hour drive..
