i think they all appreciate their 911's - but aren't as excitable as we tend to get...
There's one or two reds ones I have seen several times near Union Station. Saw a "seasoned" S a couple of weeks ago parked a few blocks away.

I think it would be hard to find less rabid enthusiasts than this bunch. Some of claim the 911 scent is their "cologne". You know who you are.

There's a rusting green 911S I frequently see parked in Manassas around the intersection of Liberia and Stonewall. Never seen the driver. It looks like a perfect candidate to fix up for the track.

Hey, that could have been me. Except my top is always on. Dark blue 81 SC Coupe. Sport suspension, cloth seats. Imported from Germany into New Orleans in 86 under the old one-time exemption rule. Later moved to Buffalo and kept in a heated garage where she slept peacefully for about twelve years, driven sedately in nice weather. Then to me. New synchros, vacuum lines, chain tensioner upgrade, turbo tie rods, stainless steel exhaust, miscellaneous adjustments and fixups, and ready to roll.

I spotted a lovely red longhood 911 heading south on Fairfax County Parkway (south of I66) Sunday. Who's that?

Last week in the morning I saw a red long hood on the Dulles toll road heading East. I wonder if it was the same one?

I also saw what appeared to be a backdated red 911 heading east on the tollroad; had a later model Carrera tail and tail lights.

Dave, Too funny. likely true too.

I saw a parking lot just filled with Porsches yesterday! 911s, 911 turbos, Cabs, Boxsters, Pepper pots you name it. All late model and looking good too. I was looking to see what the reason for the gathering was when I remembered that I work for HBL and I was in the Porsche showroom looking out at the lot...

I am a diehard long hood guy but I have to admit that the 997s look real good.

BJ reported seeing a black Turbo Targa with a nicely developed engine fire last night on the VQ beltway
