Great pics! Wish I could have made it. Was in VA for duaghter's graduation from Old Dominion. In Boca Raton for a couple of days interviewing. Almost, almost I say, thought about skipping the East coast commitments to attend SITP.

Maybe next year.

Yeah, I've seen a couple with big meats filling the wheelwells and they looked sweet. It's more common to see them with tru-spokes and VW tires though...

Wish I could have made it this year. Next year should be better and I might even have the engine swap done on my new to me 86.

Yes, pseudo street driving 928s are awesome. I had a great time going to the track with my boy in the passenger seat. and, the ride is actually pretty good.
110mm front ride hight, 140mm rear.

Congrats on your daughter's graduation. I hope this also means no more tuition

Me and three friends had them in high school. The 4 of us spent our summers under those cars. Such great cars to learn/work on. Mine was an olive green '71. BIG grunt. We thought we were so cool. I wrapped mine around a telephone pole and walked away without a scratch.

I've often thought of buying a new one.

Unbelievably she self funded her education. She is an extraordinary kid, really young woman, and learned young the best things in life are those your earn on your own.

Weather here in Boca Raton is crappy. Was 83f today, sunny with a slight breeze. I can't understand why anyone wants to live here.

Congrats on your daughter's graduation! I also went to ODU, but that was after my six year hitch in the Navy!

I wish my son was self funded at Maryland!
