Looks clean! Basic, but always handsome color combo.

Whoever is the owner, they are using the same parking strategy that I use for my car, which is to find a space with other cars on only one side, and park as far away from door dings as possible

Guess since Chuck Z moved to Chicago with his Cab that this one still makes only 5 or so 968's in Charlotte .....including your two and my one ?

Yes, that's me. I live over in Gastonia.
I own two. I decided it was silly to keep both as garage queens, so I've started driving this one more often (the not as nice one of the pair).
If you can't tell from the picture (though I imagine most people on this forum can), this one is Amazon and cashmere.
The other one is midnight blue and black interior if you see me out on the road.
I had to deal with the dreaded pinion bearing. Then for regular preventative maintenance I've redone the entire front end of the engine and now I'm working on the cosmetics. Need to replace gaskets around door handles, lower valence, polish wax etc. And hatch seal is bad, but it doesn't leak.
I've got new Robert Budd Classic 9 seat covers still to install.

I visit this forum about every day - imagine my shock at seeing this picture. This is the greatest source of 968 info - I really appreciate all of the effort everyone puts in here.

I see a 944 out and about on rare occasion, but just like the rest of you, I can't remember the last time I saw a 968. We should all drive our cars more.

Funny Gene, I met up with Padhammer after buying that hatch from you last summer. When I left your home I met him up on 40 and dropped something to him (I think 40) and he was driving his nice 968. Did not think of it when you posted that pic.

Either of you guys going to Hershey? Gene, you had your race car up for sale. You still selling or is it sold?

Man, that's a good looking coupe. Love the color, of course.

My cab is actually still in the Charlotte area in a storage unit with my 81 928. Seriously considering selling the cab; I have too many cars right now (5 total) but, my concern is it would be too expensive for most buyers....

Chuck Z
