Default Bored in Washington DC... Any Porsche stuff here?!

Hey Guys,

In DC for a week and a bit, amazed at how few Porsches I've seen... Is there anything Porschey to do here?

Is a nice place though,

Spence

Spence are you kidding?

check out www.dorkiphus.net

All my crazy friends from my days in No Va hang out there. You just gotta get outside the beltway to the west and you will see more convertible '64 mustangs than you could dream up. Oh, Porsche, ya they have a fiew. Heck, they have a site so they must have some cars....

Are you saying the hookers are nice, but not so nice that...well, ya know. I saw my first DP935 in Fairfax, VA. so it's gotta be crawling in 911's.

Hookers? I thought Dupont Circle was the gay area of DC? I haven't actually seen any yet, maybe I need to get my gaydar serviced? I swear I haven't seen one 911 the whole day I was walking around, not even a boxster, a 924.... nothing.?

What are the dorks? BBS people? Doesn't seem overly active in there.

Spence I was shooting from the hip (pun intended) when I said hookers. I don't know where Dupont Circle is. You have to do all the tourist stuff. I was there from the summer of '86 to the summer of '88. hence the '88 Carrera....

Cheers Doug, I'm joining that site now, it's great city so far, doesn't feel quite as safe as NYC (I lived there for a year) but it's pretty cool.

Get outside of the beltway and you will find the highest income per capita county in the country. It's a posh, posh place. If you go just a fiew blocks east of the Capital you will find America's largest no rent district. It is our dirty little secret. We were not allowed to even take the freeway for fear of our lives. The old saying "go west young man" was first said to discribe what you want to do if you are in the district at night. good luck and have fun. visit the Natural History, and the Air and Space.

Carefull Spence, the sun will be going down soon where you are. Try to stay west of the 95.
