Default Minnesota chat thread

Hey guys. Thought I would introduce myself and see if we can't keep this section alive with some general useless banter in a single thread. I just bought this car called a 911. Still need to learn a few things about it, but I've been wanting a 911 for a long time. Apparently, the stars and planets were lined up just right this weekend, so I said eff it and pulled the trigger on this beauty.

I guess I can't embed photos into the post. No big deal.

If anyone would like to get a small group together for cruises or DIY sessions or whatever, feel free to post it up here. I'd like to meet some enthusiasts who appreciate all cars and events related to nice cars.

Sorry, I missed that. I've gotta find out about these events. How was it advertised?

I found out about it thru the local PCA Chapter Nord Stern.

If you're not a member already would highly recommend joining.

Contact the Chapter President Ed Vazquez at edmn911@aol.com

As well as going to Nordstern.org.

There is an all German show coming up called Auto Lieben in Afton Alps on Sunday July 30th, 10-3pm.

Went to that Autolieben meet and show. It was fun. Met some nice people and enjoyed the drive to and from there.

I still need to join the PCA.

I had originally planned to go but spent all day Friday and Saturday at AirVenture in Oshkosh. Plain wore myself out with all the walking my Son and I did. According to my Son's Apple Watch, we walked over 20 miles total.

That's a lot of walking. You might as well call yourselves Lewis and Clark.

So I'm in the market for the GT3 aero front bumper. Know any good vendors?

Looking at this: https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/997777.html

I need it as genuine as possible.

Ever thought of going this route for that front bumper? Not for everyone, but certainly an option.

Not sure what part you're talking about. That whole page is full of stuff, so perhaps you can point me in the right direction.

We should find a small group of Pcar enthusiasts in the south burb near us to hang out, talk cars, and drive the county roads.

I also like and mountain biking.
