Hello from Colorado
Posted: Mon Aug 12, 2024 8:04 am
Saying hello to the group.
I live on the Colorado Front Range. Learned to drive a stick on my friend's 914 1.7 back in the 1970s - and got the bug.
I've owned one Porsche or another since 1979 - a '72 914, an '81 924 (purchased new), an '85 3.2 Carrera Targa (acquired in 1990, still have it), and now a 2022 Macan (base). Along the way, I owned a few Audis - a 5000 CS Quattro, 200 Quattro - then I got a '98 3.2 A6 that was a complete dog and put me off the brand. That was followed by an Accord with a V6 and manual transmission and then an Acura TL (no manual, but needed to get back to AWD given my location).
I've seen the ads for this forum in Panorama for quite awhile but just got around to signing up.
Not active in PCA; I don't track my cars - just enjoy driving them and doing the occasional fiddly bit (mostly electrical). All the more serious stuff goes to the mechanic; I don't even change oil anymore.
My other hobbies are cycling (road and gravel, no MTB) and playing guitar.
I may post this in another subforum as well, but one of the reasons I joined was to see whether anyone here has experience with the sales reps at the Colorado Springs dealership and can recommend someone they like. I used to work with Bill Kaminski - liked his laid-back style - but he has moved on to selling motorcycles, I think. Any recommendations would be welcome.
Thanks!
Dave
