Talking what a great group we've got...

Today I realized what a valuable, knowledgeable, and respectful group of fellows we've got on this 964 board. I had to venture over to "another" board to do some research before doing the service on my wife's ML truck... if we didn't have so much to take back to her home for Christmas, we'd take the C4 cabrio to the snow of Utah clad with summer tires!!! But we'll be smart and brave the blizzard in the truck instead.

ML owners are obviously not the enthusiasts that 964 owners are! You guys are great!!!

Happy Holidays from where it doesn't look like winter...

Looks horrible !!
I rather be scraping the ice of my windows, going to work in the dark, and coming home in the dark.

Happy Christmas

Having had the fortune to spend a few years in Arizona, I can remember the warmth. As the others have said, time to get the scraper out and slip off!!

I'm telling you, Garrett, you've done it right! I'm in Florida and it was 26 degrees here last night! California is the way to go! Merry Christmas!

Even after three years of ownership, I'm still a regular, here, and for very good reason: There's always something new to learn, the enthusiasm for these great cars is as high as ever and the camaraderie is second to none.
Happy Holidays, everyone!

Default so true

Like Alan above, I'm a new 964 owner and have already gotten so much info. from all you experienced owners. Just got Adrian's book from Amazon yesterday so now I'm really ready to do some damage. Thanks for all the help and enjoy your good weather. It's going to be a white Christmas here with a high of 16!

You can say Merry Christmas, just don't get upset if somebody else says Happy Chanukah or Happy Kwanzaa or Happy Whatever!

I find polictically correctness, to be politically incorrect !! I find words the most trivial of things. when we compare them to intent, and actions. Yet some people get so hung up about the former rather than the latter and far more important two!!

So its happy Christmas to everyone !!
