Kevin - did you register as I do not see you on the attendee list?

I've been to SITM & SharkToberfest twice each & never with a 928
First SITM I arrived in a Saab. At least Greg Nettles was impressed. He was a Saab guy too.

Well, officially on vacation

Just tried to and it won't let me. Forgive me, but I just got registered at the hotel today as they called to notify me that a room was available.

Any help would be appreciated!

Well as of 4pm today, I am not going to be able to make it. I thought retired life would be pretty easy going but that hasn't proven the case as of yet! I hope everyone has a great time and I will see you all next year!

What an awesome weekend.
Sean picked me up and dropped me off at DFW, I'm now 100% sold on the Koni shocks, his latest acquisition (a very beautiful car) rides perfect.
We killed a bottle of Heaven's Door Thursday night (brilliant idea, I passed out on his patio).
Friday as the rest of the crew started to roll in, saw a bunch of familiar faces I haven't seen in forever, and new faces attached to known names.
We split up for dinner, I joined the group walking to a nearby brewery for dinner.
Afterwards, parking lot shenanigan's were had until about 3AM (another brilliant idea)
Saturday morning @Chuck Schreiber drew the shortest straw to take me along on the fun run. I proceeded to navigate group 2 down the wrong way of a one way country road and I had the incorrect address for stop number 1 and took everyone directly to a brewery (imagine that).
Lunch was awesome, headed over to Becker Vineyards where I'm pretty sure someone in the group got engaged to a bridesmaids that was there with one of the many brides groups enjoying the location. Details are very fuzzy on that.
Back at the hotel, everyone scattered for a bit, then re-grouped for dinner and more parking lot shenanigan's.
To everyone I haven't seen in a long time - It was great to see you and catch up
To everyone I met for the first time, see you next year!!!!

Big thanks to @ROG100 , @LauraV , Mercedes and the rest of the 928's R Us Crew. A very well run and fun event!

Special thanks to @Jeannie928 for calling me several months ago and demanding I attend, and to @hans14914 for getting you there. Really missed you guys.


Bad News:
My plane out of DFW is broken, instead of leaving at 4:30 it looks like 9PM and I'll be sleeping in Chicago (how silly being "stuck" 3 hours driving time from home).
Good New:
My gate is connected to an IHOP that has Buffalo Trace.

Cheers!!!!

You know, if you moved Third Coast to the second weekend in November you'd be able to take advantage of the Veteran's Day holiday.
