Default Phil...Let go out and see if we can....

continue with our humility with POC in 2005. With us in the same humble class with humble little LP cars, we will have some fun!

I have some points left in LP...I am way below the 13 point allowance. I am thinking of getting a set of humble BIG Yokohama slicks for my 18" wheels, just for grins! I will see what Santa brings!

Martin,

You & Phil are going to drive me to the poor house! The only thing I have on my car that puts me into Production is my set of PSS9s! Unfortunately, it's probably going to stay that way for a while....

Congratulations John. Merry Christmas to you. Merry Christmas to you.
Sounds like VB knows how to do a PPI.
It appears the ' boost ' was too much of an attraction. No GT3 in your garage, YET.
I bet you can hardly remember the old car. What was it a? a? Enjoy

John... are you ever coming home?? Are you gonna just keep driving till next year or till the wheels fall off? I was really satisfied with my cab until you started planting seeds in my head, damn you. I need a Vulcan meld now to get my mind straight again. Just think sunshine, Alan, sunshine.

Jauder,

What are you thinking now, GT3? And don't say spec Miata!

I was sore all yesterday from driving the miata for 3 1/2 hrs on Tuesday. Back to back sessions rule cept they wear you out and I had a 1 1/2 hr drive home from LS! That said, the spec miata is a whole lotta fun, I even managed to hold off a bunch of faster cars even though I did quite a few point bys too. I kept screwing up Turn 5 knowing that each time I could go around it faster.

I met John today at Devek and he's going to have great fun with Jeff's car. I also saw Joe's new to him GT3. Both very nice.

Hal, I'm only somewhat considering this. I'm not sure what I really want to do yet. What I really need is more garage space. Does someone in San Mateo have extra space for me to store a car?

Jack Olsen's RSR clone sure looks interesting though...

Last I heard, Joe had ordered a 997. So now he winds up with a GT3! That's how I would go if I ever give up the boost!

Miata is good for a track car. You don't have to worry so much about balling it!

Well it is winter and cabs sell much better in the warmer months....
I got $44k for her and felt I could have gotten 4-5 more in spring but....My 98 Cab was the 3rd lowest price out of 19 -98 Cabs on Autotrader. I know mine had to be in the top 3 or 4 in looks and condition, but I only got a few calls on it over a month. Go figure....Paid $68k for the TT w/39k and $15k worth of modifications.
