Congrats on your fever! (no, really)

Anyways, speaking of 914s, last weekend I saw at least 10 of them doing what
must have been a fun run about a 1/2 mile from my house, turning from one
road to another. I've never seen so many in such nice shape in one place
before. And a month earlier I saw just a general Porsche fun run near my
friends house - about 10-15 various models. It was sweet. I live about an
hour from Detroit and normally don't see many nice foreign cars, lots of
muscle cars at the car shows around here.

Roadster content:
I've been slowwlly cleaning dirt and grease of the bare frame and plan on
finishing it up with POR-15 later this summer and then hanging it back up in
my garage rafters until a later date. I'll be putting the Roadster rebuild
on a couple year hiatus until I can get my financial house in better order,
a la Dave Ramsey (http://www.daveramsey.com).
