Default Chicago 944 Owners

Just checking to see who in Chicago has a 944. Looking to meet some of you and also to get some advice on what I can do with my car. There is definitely more knowledge here than there in at the shop!

Quite a few listers in Chitown, I'm sure they'll post up. I'm there every now and then.

I'm about 60 miles NW of the city in Huntley.

I mostly work out of the house but there are rare days (maybe 1-2 a month) where I drive into the office downtown (like today) at the Aon Center.

We did a quick little 951 gathering at Fuddrucker's in Schaumburg last summer. I think there were 5-6 of us that showed up. Was nice to meet a few other people from the boards.

There's also a couple 944 guys in the Chicago region PCA, and a few of us will be putting together an ugly 944 N/A for the LeMons race @ Autobahn in October.

@omni - nice. I live right behind the AON Center and work just a couple block away in the loop.
Next time you have a gathering, please let me know.

I go back and forth about my car on what to do. Whether to put money into in (even though I do not thin anything is broken) or to sell it and get a early 2000 911.
