I was watching a bit of the news last night (Thursday) and saw a fire report of what I believe they said was in the Escondido area. They showed some footage of a burned house that appeared to have a 914 in the garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

California seems to be on fire a lot. Always confused me folks would live somewhere it's almost certain they will be hit by major wildfires, lose their house, then rebuild in the same spot. I know we're having drought and wildfire problems here, but it's not like the same exact ares burn every year.
In any case, I hope all our favorite 914 shops, vendors, and owners out on the left coast aren't being affected by this. I heard Pendleton was on fire too, but then again we burned a huge chunk of it back in 2005 thanks to tracers, grenades, smoke grenades, and some random mortar rounds.

I have a friend that bought a home in western Texas. For summers, he returns to Cali...he gave me an example. Take a shower, dry off with towel and that towel will take a few months to dry in Texas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |

You walk outside in the summer and immediately die of heat exhaustion. And where the hell in West Texas is all this humidity? Abilene and everywhere out there are drying up, drought is hitting really hard. A number of my relatives are having to get out of various livestock because there's just no water to support them. I will say Cali is way too top-heavy regarding 914 and Porsche shops in general. Here in Central Tx we're pretty screwed unless you head to Dallas maybe. The only 914 heavy shop I know of is in Irving (Dallas) and run by an SCCA competitior who runs 914's. Sadly that's like 3 hours away at least, little far just to stop in and get a valve adjustment. Some of you guys need to spread the love and move out here. We have COTA now, surely someone can set up a proper 914 shop in Austin? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
