Hmm...I doubt my shark will make it, but I'll see about having the chain tensioner it chewed up make an appearance. Another donation for the 928 Shrine.

How about a nice polo shirt
Just spoke with Murphy - his departure will depend on the wife.

If it were my choice I'd take the ferry from Milwaukee to Muskegon. Then it's almost a straight shot down I-96.
Although... driving a 928 through the UP would be nice, too. The only downside is the last 2 hours from Bay City/Midland/Saginaw on I-75. Not much to look at, but at least you'd be driving against traffic. On a Friday in July half the population of Detroit will be heading up north...

Sometimes when I'm in a really surly mood, I'll test the bar tender by ordering a Hacker-Pschorr.

Just got off the phone with Diane at the Best Western in Whitmore Lake, MI. She said she could give us a $10/night discount off their current published rates of $99/night. So that's $89/night. Not great but better than a sharp stick in the eye.
Hotel info:
Best Western of Whitmore Lake, MI
9897 Main Street,
Whitmore Lake, MI, 48189-9438
Phone: 734-449-2058
Ask for the Porsche 928 Rate
See you all soon!

I checked Expedia.com - that hotel 89.99 per night is the senior rate
Dude, how old are you?

I was on Expedia anyway trying to plan a fall trip - decided to plug in SIH location to see what was all out there. That Best Western is about it.
