Ok,

By request.
Lets figure out who is going, what is going on, and MOST importantly, what is George driving???
I bet he rents a ford.
We can place bets on what he rents...or somone local could loan him a car, I am sure if he breaks it, he will be able to fix it...

Please email me with cell phones and email addresses (email is the most important) if you are going.
As the email list grows, MAKE SURE to reply to ALL people on the email list.

We can start a rolling discussion, exchange meeting times, dinner times, cell phones etc..yet not have it posted on a worm searchable forum for the rest of eternity.

Its not perfect, but it will do the job.

So, Start emailing me through here, I will reply, and keep adding people to the list of names till friday when I leave.

Wow,
Lets try this again.

See if we can work this out so its not a PITA to get a good email dicussion going so everyone can communicate, meet up, whatever...


There are two ways to contact someone on the forum
One is a PM (private message)
The other is to Email them through the board.

EMAIL the message with the info to me, it lands in my email box (the one that is attached to my account here) and ...ready....it comes from your email address.

This way I can easily share this info with everyone that is going to hershey..

So, dont respond to me via a PM here, use the email button instead..

that way this will work.

Emailed.
I'tt be driving up Saturday. I am local to the area, so I will be day tripping. I am looking forward to meeting people, and am hopeful that we can do a dinner or somehting.

If anyone is driving through York PA Friday night (IE, comming up from the south), let me know. I'd be happy to pull out the grill for a little pre Hershey fun.

I'll be there with 914 if no rain. What is the date? If it's in the next 2 weeks, I probably won't have the 914 back on the road. It doesn't have a rear suspension right now, just a big empty space so I can pound on the fenders w/o hitting the suspension. Also changing rear bearings and Eric Shea hubs.

Then again, I could bring the red 71. The longest trip I've made in the 71 is to the NHRA races in Reading PA (50 miles). Hersey is only 70. Hmmmm.

I'll be there with the family hunting for parts
Won't be driving a Porsche though, just the Passat wagon (family/parts mobile).
Hope to see some 914 people.

MEETING POINT FOR CLUB MEMBERS
My friends and I have purchased 3 spots and will be setting up a banner with the world logo so everyone knows were to meet up. I am hoping we have enough room to set up some chairs, etc. to hang out etc. I am planning on having my 914 Ravenna green next to the booth so stop by and hang out. For those wanting to check the weather http://www.wfmz.com/wx/.

Link for info about the swapmeet http://www.cpa-pca.org/swap/index.html

Shameless plug for our booth- My friends and I recently started a company selling items used in the medical industry that were never available to the public. At the Porsche show we will be selling our workcloth which is an all in one completely impervious to liquid aborbent fabric that can be used as a shop dropcloth, shoprag, car protector, seat cover, temporary car cover, buffing cloth, paint cover etc. etc. etc. The stuff is incredibility tuff when wet or dry and can be cut to size but it will not ripe or tear when wet or dry. Check out our website at http://www.surgicalgrade.com/

Look for our logo to find the booth where we will set up a meeting area for 914 members

We will be up Friday night if anyone wants to get togehter at a local hangout. I think Dr Evil was working on something but he has been busy with school so I am not sure if he had time to set something up. He lives in the Hershey area and knows of some good places to go.

Local weather forcast shows some rain on Friday, sun and clouds on Sat and Sun.

Do we have to do anything special to park 914's inside the gates? I recall last year someone was looking for a car count to reserve spaces for Porsche parking.

The green car is not going, still don't have the rear suspension on nor am I finished shaping the rear flares. Also just removed the muffler heat shield since it has rust holes and was in the way of some fender impact damage. Hopefully the red car will be there.

Hey All,
Where we can meet is up int he air. I need to know numbers, predilections, and distance willing to travel. It figures that the weather this weekend was some of the best I have ever experienced her in Hershey The weather will likely be nice next weekend, nothing like last year. I sent my info to R Towle and figure he is a good person to herd the cats. I'll be in classes all week so I will not have much time to junt for a place to meet, but if ya'll wanna PM me and let me know what you are thinking, I will do my best to seek out a good spot with plenty of parking.

Posted by: faux916 Apr 23 2007, 08:06 AM

Lets hope the hershey rain curse does not show up. This past weekend was the usually scheduled weekend and it was the nicest weekend in a very long time.They changed the date for a week later to kill the curse!?!? We shall see! I hope not, although I will not be attending anyways but I will be praying for sunshine for you all! Have a fun, but safe weekend.

P/S If anyone sees "Fitsbain" (Brian) Tell him his car is RUSTY!

Posted by: dr914@autoatlanta.com Apr 23 2007, 12:10 PM

If anyone has not purchased a spot we may all want together and buy spots together to extend the room and sort of hang out that way.
I have three of my guys coming up in a van with tent and tables and some product. If anyone needs anything we will bring it up for them.
I was thinking about flying in to philly and driving out there, but certainly would not want to show up in a Ford, unless it was a gt 40!

Posted by: r_towle Apr 23 2007, 12:14 PM

good to hear you are making a valid showing...a great way to advertise...Im sure you will have alot of fun.

Look at hertz, I think you may be able to get a hertz mustang at the philly airport...black/gold...

we have three spots reserved so we should have enought for everyone to hang out. I plan on parking my Ravenna Green 914 in our area so you can't miss the spot. Dr. 914 let me know if you need help or a place to crash. I am dead center between Hershey and Philly and was planning on taking off from work around noon on Friday.

Last year I tried to get 914 club only parking but the organizers never set a space aside as they said they would. I will try and get an area set up when I go Friday night. When you arrive tell them that you are part of the 914 club and look for other 914's. Most of the volunteer don't know what is going on and just point you to the general porsche parking area. I just need a list of 10 porsche cars (914 or not) than plan on showing. So if you plan on driving a porshe PM me your name.

Do they assign spaces at hershey or is the space assigned when one shows up on saturday? What I was thinking was that if we all showed up together at 6:30 on saturday morning, we could all get spaces next to each other and really show some presence for the 914. Does anyone know?

Posted by: Phoenix914 Apr 24 2007, 09:05 AM

I hope to be coming up on Saturday afternoon. Not sure if my 914 will be out of the body shop by then, but I don't want to miss all the fun.

General parking is on a 1st. come 1st. serve bases, there is so much it should not be a problem. If someone wants to get there early ,they could save a large area. There have been on other yrs. clubs parking to geather. See you all there. I am getting pumped, i have been cleaning and detailing mine since 8:00 A.M. just stopped for lunch and to check in here.

The latest on a place to meet is T.J Rockwells in E. Town. Not too far form the action, but far enough to get away from the crowds that will choke the local venues. I am hoping that the huge deck will be open next weekend, I will check. Also, some of the local VW people might come hang out.

Posted by: Leo Imperial Apr 24 2007, 09:44 PM

Posted by: Dr Evil Apr 25 2007, 07:08 PM

I am still working on a place. I have an exam to study for tomorrow so I wont have time until after class to call and make sure. There are plenty of places, and a contingency should be made because it is likely that many will be packed closer to town. The phone list is the best way next to anouncing here and having people check periodically. Fri is looking like T-storms so the outside places are a bad idea. Sat should be fine. We can try to meet down the street form my house at Dukes (on the 422 in zip 17078). Deacent enough food, ample parking, close to the action and a full bar. Let me know what ya'll think and I will see what I can do.

I drove past Hershey this AM on the way home from burying my mother in law. Weather has just changed from freeking freezing last week to spring on Monday. On Monday the redbuds, tulips and dogwoods started blooming and the trees started to green. The Cherry trees at Ft. Indiantown Gap cemetery were just awesome.

Have a nice trip guys, the weather looks good.

Oh yeah, Cops are realy out in force on the Pennsylvania turnpike. I quit counting at 18 cars. Be careful.

Now if I could just get that flat spot outa my butt after the 9 hour run back to Cinci.

Here is a lonk to the place that I was thinking about on Sat night (Elizabeth town one).
http://www.tjrockwells.com/

Unfortunately the HUGE deck will not be open until May. If we show up in force, they may make an exception. Google the directions and let me know if anyone thinks that htis is too far from the beaten track. There are probably other options, but this is far enough form the festivities to allow room for us. Also, their parking lot is large.

Posted by: Dr Evil Apr 26 2007, 11:07 AM

FYI, I've decided what parts I can use.

If anyone sees a dizzy from a 2.7 911 and some plug wires I am interested. If I can get a good deal on these parts I will get my car running as I wont have to dick with the megajolt in my ever precious free time.

Posted by: Dr Evil Apr 26 2007, 05:23 PM

Alright, who is all coming out on Fri night? That is when George will be in town and buying (you cheap bastards, I know you cant resist!).

The address is:

Duke's
1715 E Chocolate Ave
Hershey, PA 17033
(717) 533-5541

Chocolate ave is also the 422. People here in PA like to change the name of the roads every block without putting signs up.

Who all is planning on comming? I can give you my phone #. What time are we gonna meet?
Inquiring mids want to know!!!!!!

OK - I'm a little (not much) embarassed to admit this. When I lived in Cincinnati, all we did was talk about the "Hershey Meet" - never went.

I've lived outside of Philly for 11 years. Always talked about about the "Hershey Meet" - never went.

Well, this year I'm going. Lots of little things I want. Not selling any parts, but I'll have a trunk full of Factory posters from the 70's & 80's. I want these things GONE - no more room.

So, if you see a guy with a a 24/7 cap on, and want early (REAL) posters - hit on me. Otherwise, I'll bebuying a shitload of little parts (if they're good) and wanting to meet all you 914 wierdos. BTW, my wife (Jan) is a 914 wierdo from way back.

Just look for 2 old farts. Wait a minute, we're all old farts (mostly).

I don't know why I plan things cause something always comes up. I will have to bail on coming on Sat to go to Bloomsburg University to look at my daughter's Subaru.

It somehow ran out of coolant and overheated on her way back to school last weekend. Ironically I checked the overflow tank on Sat and it looked filled to the right level. Didn't think about looking in the radiator itself.

I think its been leaking for a while since my daughter complained late in the winter that sometimes she would have interior heat and sometimes not so it must have been running low for a while. This week she put in about 1/2 gallon of coolant to fill the radiator. I just hope there is no permanent damage.

Have one for me.

Dangit gents, I'm going to have to bail this time. My teener is ready to pick up from the body shop with a fresh paint job and I just can't wait until Sunday. I'm hopefully going to pick it up tomorrow, which will blow my plans for coming up to the swap meet. The car was supposed to be done a couple weeks ago, but you know how that goes. I didn't want to pressure the guy so he would take his time and do a good job. So even though I'll not get to meet all of you fine folks this time, there's always next year.

George, can I get a rain check on that beer?

Posted by: wilchek Apr 27 2007, 12:02 PM

Weather is looking alright . We will have the tent set up and space for people to hang. We printed some 914 world poster so everyone does not get lost and can have a central meeting place that is easy to find. stop by and hang out at D-2 through D-4. I will have my Ravenna green 914 set up or Yarin may be demo his Megasquirt stuff in our spot once we touch base and figure everything out.

And the first one has contacted me and is checking into a hotel:D The siege has begun! So far there is no set time for meeting at Duke's. I am guessing about 7pm or later. As soon as George gives me a call, or I decide to go on my own, I'll have more info.

Dan, you coming in tonight? Gonna go to Duke's?

Posted by: wilchek Apr 27 2007, 04:10 PM

I was not planning on coming but now that I am out of work and hear that the gang is all here I think I am in. Just have to talk the boss into it. I thinking I will run up tonight just to hang out. I would say 7 or 7:30 is a good ETA.

We are heading to dukes now, What time does the swap meet start in the AM,

Posted by: Vacca Rabite Apr 27 2007, 10:03 PM

Well, it is around 11PM, and Erin and I just got back from Fort Fred State Park in western MD, so we clearly won't be showing tonight (friday). Ended up staying later then we thought we would, and having dinner with some freinds who were camping.

We will see everyone bright and early tomorrow morning, and then check out the VW show, and maybe stay for dinner with whatever diehards are doing that.

Maybe you guys can come over here for dinner. See you in the AM. I had a good time with those that showed! George, unfortunately, never showed. I hope he is OK.

I had a gut feeling it would not rain till later up there in Hershey. Weather dot com says no rain till 4pm. I spent the day cutting grass & putting up shelves. Spent all day yesterday on the road going back to Rockville for my refinished Fuchs & new tires. I'm jealous... I have never been to Hershey for the Swap & guess I'd better start planning for next year.

Posted by: turboman808 Apr 28 2007, 02:58 PM

Posted by: stepuptotheMike Apr 28 2007, 03:59 PM

Had the wife not had a previously planned girls weekend at the beach, I would have so made the trip this year. I'll make sure I reserve the schedule for next year. The wife and kids can spend the time at Hershey park while I oogle the P cars and meet a bunch of world members.

Hope everyone is having a good time. Hope we get some pics in this thread to see the fun that the rest of us are missing.

Who would think that very overcast and chilly = sunburned bald head? Ha, oh well, it was worth it. Good meeting new people and running into those I haven't seen in a while. Plus I drove home with less stuff than I started with which is always a plus. Even better is that I finally got oil temps under control in my t4ed Beetle, but thats another thread (30mm oil pumps and/or 20w50 oil = hot engine, stock pump + 5w30 = cool runnin).

Had a better time this year than last, not as wet but a chilling wind while eating a crabcake sandwich around luchtime. Ran into a few non members Jim Mcleod, Bob, and the other usual suspects that have posted here. AA was there and had NOS seat belt retractors. Sorry I missed seeing you Zach and JP. Saw a bunch of 914 stuff this year just not what I was looking for but I did find a pair of Italian 44 webers for future project use.

Not being much of an eraly riser, I dragged my tail up there around 11:00. I only had a couple of parts on my list... 911 oil filters, steering rack cover pan for the 911 (since I saw how much nicer Babydoll's is than mine) and 2.0 fuel injectors for Babydoll. Funny, everybody who said they had them said that they were at home.

I was wandering around in the cold when I almost ran right into Dr Evil. He was sitting there strumming a guitar. I stopped in and said hi, then wandered off with type47 to continue my quest for the green injectors. (Not that I think Babydoll really needs them, but you can never have too many spares.)

Posted by: Vacca Rabite Apr 29 2007, 09:55 AM

It was a good show. A lot of cars. The only non-914s that I bothered to go look at were the 550 and the beck 904 kit cars (so freak'n cool).

There were a lot of 914s. My favotrite was this one:



I don't know who made it, or who owns it, but my hat is off to you. The sculpted rear flairs look awesom.


This is the green color that I am going to paint my 914. Tonda green, I think. I don't know the paint code, but I bet I can call Aircooledracing and find that out.

I wanted to give a specil thanks to Leo who gave me my first ride in a 914 that was not fred flintstone powered. I have owned one now for 2 years and change, and until yesterday had never been in one when iot was mobile under its own power. Now I really want to get mine done. He was kind enough to offer to cart me around the autoX today as a passinger, but I had to decline, Erin and I have too much garden stuff to do.

Speaking of which, she is giving me the eye now, so its time for me to go and get grubby.

I had a GREAT time! I realy needed this. The community feel was very strong and reminiscent of the west coast stuff I used to attend. What a great bunch of people! I met so many lurkers who knew me and all of you, but never post. They were all very cool and I hope they start puting in their $.02 soon.

This is the Fri night where some of us got together and had a few cold ones. Great company. L-R: Angie, Welby, Sean, Ray, Steve, Dan, Julie


Here is how I got to the swap. From when I showed up to when I left my bike got a majority of the attention in our area (Leo's bus second).


The ever elusive, but increadably cool Wayne and my budy from school, Brian behind the Tricky bus looking at my bike (Of course)!


Random shot with Leo, Sean (back of head), and Pete (nice to have finally met you, thankls for taking my jabs )

Posted by: Dr Evil Apr 29 2007, 09:37 PM

Leo had the swwetest set up by far. The Tricky bus was mission control and well suited for the task. He had his portable DVD player wired in and was blasting Le Mans of the speakers! It attracted the car guys almost as well as a stripper and a pole would have!


The weather was just fine. It only barley dripped at the veeeery end. Here are two pics of the Porsche filled lots just on our side. There was more, but I didnt make it out of the two rows near us much as I kept running into people.



One of my favorites at the show, Beck 904. We saw it race the next day and it was loud, and hard to control. Supposedly driven part of the time by Beck himself!

Posted by: Dr Evil Apr 29 2007, 09:38 PM

Under the 904 rear lid was a 3.2

Posted by: Dr Evil Apr 29 2007, 09:50 PM

I dont know about Leo "fluffernutter" sometimes I thought he was helping Ray dissassemble the 88 911 front end that he bought, but it looks like Ray was helping Leo with his front end instead


Another group shot with some of our vehicles.
L-R: Dan (Wilcheck), Leo Imperial, Dr. Evil, Noel (Evil's Fiance), Erin (Zach's Wife), Zach (Vacca Rabbite), Pete (Ptravnic), Sean (Ray's son), Ray (firstknight13)


More stopped by, but I didnt get a pic of everyone.

Here are Leo's neighbors. Nice guys, but ewe. This was after he pulled his pants up (a bit)



Not to be out done, Leo decided to troll for 911 owners. Notice the white grease rag of surrender in his back pocket!

Posted by: Dr Evil Apr 29 2007, 09:56 PM

Here are some pics of Ray doing the first turn at the course. Leo (Fluffernutter) has the rest of the pics on his camera. Noel took these.

ray, I have larger ones of these if you want me to email you. Thanks for everything, Ray and Leo!

Noel and I are very greatful for all of your generousity and friendship. We are so fortunate to have had this time with all of you and I needed this therapy to help me through my life at school. I hope not too much time passes until we get to meet again!

More pics that I just put up on Flickr.

Tha place to be:


Half a 911. Kept getting cheaper as the day got on. I think that Ray stole the front suspension setup.


Noel is cold:

Erin was fridgid as well, but she was afriad that if she sat in the bus to get warm, she'd be asleep in moments. Both of us were running more the resting for the prior two days, and had maybe 6 hours of rest from thrusday night to saturday night. I was glad that Erin drove home after dinner. I slept in the car most of the way home.

The bus, by the way, has a killer sound system. Leo was playing LeMans, witht he doors open. No rattles, hissing, or stupid ricer reverb. The movie drew crowds. Dr. Evil ocationally danced to the soundtrack (but I did not have a camera ready for it).

There were a lot of 914s there, but they were wcattered all over the parking area. Next year, it would be great if we could corral them all together.



Want to touch the hiney...
I wish 550s did not scare me so. I so want one of these little decapitation machines.



I thought I had taken some pics of the Beck 904. But sadly it appears that I did not.

Oh, and Evil, enough with the peanut butter already. Gah.

Hey Guys!

It was a pleasure meeting so many 914 heads this weekend. Definitely a fun tight knit crowd, a lot of people from the boards stopped by to say hi. I was camped out with Dan next to his gorgeous green 914. Big turnout for the swap meet, I sold a few things, bought a few things (oil cooler adapter with AN lines and fitting $10, voltage reg $10, nuts) sold a few things.

Im usually a picture whore but didn't get a chance to snap a few. Sorry I missed the group shot, I was running around trying to find last minute deals! I got sucked into a rennlist dinner that night at the four points sheraton. Pretty good time.

The autoX Sunday was fun, really different club though. They have to be off the lot by 1pm so it makes it pretty tough. They give 3-4 runs typically. It seems like they just changed management or something, scattered work assignments, slow to run cars, no awards ceremony... oh well.. live and learn. Still had a blast!

Congrats to Leo for taking 1st in D class! I expect to see Ray and his son autocrossing again sometime soon. For some reason my injection was missing in the morning, gotta check that out.

Here some in car footage from the autoX http://stage6.divx.com/user/yarink/video/1208672/4-29-07-Hershey,-PA-AutoX

Overall a pretty damn good weekend.

914 World crew-

It was truly a pleasure meeting all of you over the weekend. Having Danny as a best friend for the last 15+ years, I wasn't at all surprised how cool the 914 crowd he's gotten to know on the BBS turned out to be person. It would have been nice if our booth would have been situated nearer the rest of you guys, but we definitely appreciated Yarin setting up with us. Assuming the WorkCloth business is going strong next year, I'll be up for sponsoring a few extra spots again as a meeting point for the 914 World crew again. Let's coordinate on reservations & carve out a bigger oasis in the Swap Meet.

The warm reception you all extended me & my guys received was deeply appreciated. We're working hard and trying to build a product company for auto enthusiasts by auto enthusiasts. As simple as those WorkCloths may seem at first blush, I've used them for years around my albeit rudimentary garage and completely believe they make any project just a little easier to organize, set-up and clean up. I'd love to hear straight up, honest feedback from those of you that took some WorkCloths home with you. Also remember I've extended free shipping on multipacks ordered fromhttp://www.surgicalgrade.com before 5/12 when you use coupon code CPA PORSCHE at checkout!

Good luck with all your projects and don't hesitate to contact me if there's anyway I might ever be able to lend your community a hand!
- Matt

PS - I uploaded a few pics from our booth

Thanks Chris. I met some nice people, who apparently all need a pair of decent sun visors, but I didn't realize just how much 914 activity there actually was until now. I guess the fact that there was no freezing rain or hurricane force winds was helpful. Good time, hopefully it will be the same next year.

Hey All!

Well, I'm late posting as usual . . . It was a real pleasure meeting all of you at Hershey last weekend. Really a good--and interesting--crowd.

Swap meet was bigger than I expected, managed to spend my "allowance" by noon (set of pedrinis, OEM long lugs, 356 gauges, etc.). Definitely back next year--will try to bring the 914--even if I don't get the starting problem fixed . . . .

Took some pictures of some of the most of the 914s there (and the custom 47 Chev coupe)--will post those later. Sorry I missed the group photos, but at least the good Dr and others took a few and posted them here.

Was interested to see the pics of the 2002 in the A-X . . . wonder if they would have allowed an old Volvo wagon

Really a great weekend--THANKS!

Thanks for splitting that spot with me Jerry, it was a good time hanging with you and your "crew"! And while my Beetle may have brought some onlookers, I think it was your visors that brought in the buyers. Too bad none of them were interested in a greasy t4 case.

Can't believe that low mileage 914 went for $19.5k. That's just absurb. On the flip side I did buy my car at the Hershey Swap meet in 2005. Apparantly the previous owner was around but avoided me. Lucky he did, I would have had a few choice words for him...

this is the 88 911 i got the SWEET DEAL on... short story.. before this was unloaded the whole front end complete with 5 lug; aluminium cross member...everything was sold for $200.00.... i hooked up with the evil one and told him that i wanted to upgrade to 5 lug... we walked around and picked up rear drilled out hubs for 120.00 then he said YOU should have seen the 200.00 front end that i missed... we get back to the van and i ask the how much for the 911 front assy??? he said 400.00 that it was already sold earlier 4 hours to be specific.. so if i wanted it i had to move it...look i'm only the buyer NOT the seller...ok so we move it to the other side of the van and i have my first experience with " tough cloth" i bought the largest size to cover MY new 911 front assy...oops how am i going to get it home???? oh dr. can i leave it at your house till i can come down with my pick up??? of course he can't say "NO" to a fellow teener...ok porblem solved!!! then i got to thinkin' i will take the whole thing apart and i did...it all fit in my front 914 trunk!!! sure looked good... too bad i could not use the rear suspension....

Zach,
I could lend you a hand after the 8th maybe. If not then after June 13th would work.

Posted by: ptravnic May 2 2007, 08:42 PM

Ray - Thanks for posting some kick ass pics! It was great to meet you and your son. I think it's a cool thing for fathers/sons to do together - working on 914's is how my old man and I have really gotten to know each other.


Mike (aka Dr. Evil) - A big THANKS for coordinating things & thanks for the beer. I do hope that you come to terms w/your "latent" tendencies... Did you say something about peanut butter?

Leo - Thanks for scoring the spot - very good planning.


I wish I could have gone to dinner w/the rest of the crew but I didn't get home til close to 1am...

Man I had my eyes closed in every picture. I looked like Forest Frikin' Gump!!!

Well I got the bug again. Time to step into the modified class. A few more days and the engine should be done. I'm giving myself 2 weeks.

Doc - why were you sitting next to me in the middle of the night with a jar of Peanut Butter? You had a strange look in your eyes.

Racer Chris - I would be happy to extend the area next year and demo you header system :shamelessplugfordicountsmilie: Also, thanks for the -2 deg in the rear and -1.5 up front. I adjusted the front bar to full stiff and the car felt great.

Ray - You gotta find a way to get me those videos and BTW great job in your first AX.

Zach - How was the swap like meeting reenactors at a fort in the woods? I got confused.

Scott - you were missed.

Pete - Always a blast. Glad you made it.

Noel - So sweet. Thanks for you hospitality.

911 guys - You drove from where? and why are you trying to sell posters of a corvette at a porsche event? and sorry for laughing when you told me you had sold the front end for $200. Looks like we worked on you long enough that it found it's way to a more deserving owner.
