I'm in, but will probably drive the 911 this year. Until I buy some better summer only tires, I'm not sure of the handling of my 928, especially if the roads are wet!

Hoping for good weather!
Last year was the first time for rain (other than overnight) since we started at Marble Falls.... (2005)

Keith,

This doesn't have anything to do with that LOSER that lost control and did a 360 on damp roads on our last Houston drive a few months ago does it???? Some people just should not be allowed to drive these cars...

Remember, Don, three of us almost ended up in the ditch that day, not just you! Besides, it's not like my Guards Red 928 is anything special.

We're having discussions weather to drive the Shark, or the Polecat. I'm for the catmobile, Dee wants to take the Shark.

Booked. Prolly trailer the car down again to keep down the road damage. Lost a fog light just during our 120 miles of driving in the rain. Using a diesel truck this year. Got 4mpg with my turdy 1/2 ton with a 5.7 litre.

Jeff, You should get 13mpg at 65mph and 10mpg at 75mph with the diesel. T

Better than 4. Could only get 140 miles out of a tank. It sucked.
