Occupation: Law Enforcement

Non Porsche Hobbies: Golf (although I am a terrible golfer), Firearms (No worries here)

Porsche Genesis: I remember envying the Porsche drivers 20 years ago and now I can afford what they drove back then. These cars are timeless, beautiful, and have a back seat (I have 4 kids)

How I heard about Rennlist: I conducted many internet searches in order to research the car that I eventually bought and I came to know about Rennlist. Once I bought my Porsche, I had many questions. I scanned Rennlist and found that it was a great resource. Then, I knew that I had to join Rennlist in order to not feel like a thief for getting all the great information that the Rennlist members provide.

Soon I will Pretty up my profile with pics and such

Age: 17

Occupation: High School Student - Senior next year.

Porsche Genesis: Freshman year of high school, 6th period spanish, I'm not paying attention as usual. I look over to the sophmore next to me, he's reading a magazine. It's an "Excellence." He states that his step-dad is really into porsches, and they have a 914-6, 356A, and a 914-6 GT sitting in their garage. I go over afterschool to check it out, and his step dad gives me a ride in the 914-6. Then I get a ride in 356. I'm hooked, but I can't afford any of those cars. Parents buy me a $300 924 as a Christmas present. I spend the next couple months fixing it, put about $600 into it (I mowed a lot of lawns). Sell the car for $2200. Then, onto the 944. Sold that, got 3 more 924s and a VW. Then got another VW. Sold 2nd VW. About to sell 1st VW. Looking for a good 951 or S2 currently.

How I heard about Rennlist: My first forum was 924board, as it is a much better source for info on 924 n/as and 931s. When I got my 944, I moved here for tech info. That's when I got hooked.

Non Porsche Hobbies: Photography, Music: Drums, guitar, bass, piano, vocals, playing live, learning everything I can about recording and audio engineering

Porsche Genesis: Had seen a few 944s around and always thought they looked cool. It ended up on my "list" of cars I had wanted to own. One day riding my bike I saw a POS 944 for sale behind a used car lot. My dad and I bought it and 3 years later it is almost exactly how I want it.

How I heard about Rennlist: I was researching 944s on the net and found Pelicanparts.com. I posted there for a couple of years only hearing about rennlist. I then decided to come over here to see what it was like. I immediatly joined but didn't post any for the next year. I only occasionally read rennlist. Recently, after 944fest this year I have been posting more and am waiting for the membership button to be fixed so I can become a paying member.

Occupation: Data Analyst (AGAIN - laid off 6/30, new job 7/26)
Hobbies: Guitar, eating red meat
Porsche Genesis: My dad had an '83 944 in the late '80's. Then he bought a 911 in the late '90's. At that point, I knew I needed a Porsche.
Rennlist: I was searching the Web during my first few wrenching jobs, and this site kept coming up. For a long time, I simply used the search function. Finally, one day, somebody had a question that I actually knew the answer to, so I registered. After a while, I had so much useful information and free parts and friends due to this site, that I felt obligated to pay the dues and join.

Cory - good idea with this thread. See ya sometime?

Porsche Genesis: well Boxters and 911s are dime-a-dozen in LA -- but I really wanted something less common and less pompous. Came across an ad for a 968, did some research, and the rest is history (then came the 944, then mf GF's 968, then the 951....)
How I heard about Rennlist: started off in 968.net, but then I started branching off to earlier models.

Porsche Genesis: The advent of the 959 occurred when I was around 11 years old. I used to play a computer game called Test Driive 2, which featured the 959. I was enamored! My love of Porsche was fueled by the car magazines that I read from cover to cover upon taking them out of my mailbox. The car magazines always seemed to reserve their highest praise for the Porsches. At the age of 16, I began to look often at the prices of the 944 Turbos in my area, and nationally, in the Auto Trader, all the while driving my Acura Integra and pretending, or at least wishing, it were a Porsche. One day, I vowed... My mother and father bought me a new car for my high school graduation, and while it wasn't a Porsche 944 Turbo, it served as enjoyable and reliable college transportation. All during college, the thought of owning a Porsche as soon as I got my first job was never far from my mind. At the age of 23, after working for a year, I bought my first Porsche, a 1989 944 Turbo. Before owning a Porsche, I was a big fan, but after the 300 mile drive home in my Turbo, I was hooked for life, and realized I would always have to have a Porsche in the garage. I realized that Porsche's slogans "Nothing Even Comes Close" from the 80s, and "There is No Substitute" from the 90s, were completely true!

Rennlist: I met the wonderful John D. at the Tweeks Funfest in Illinois in 2000, and he told me about Rennlist. I would occasionally peep at the boards after they were started in 2001, but, being a complete novice in terms of mechanical ability, I was a bit overwhelmed by some of the technical discussion. However, earlier this year, I vowed to start working on my cars as much as possible, and I knew that Rennlist was the place to come. The pleasant surprise was that, just like the PCA, Rennlist isn't so much about the cars as it is the people.

Porsche Genesis: On my way home from work years ago, I pulled up next to a Ferrari F355 and then later a 993TT that was totally modified. The sound from the Porsche was amazing. That started my sports car addiction. A few weeks later I saw a 944, which ended my car search.
