That was great but not what this post is about. I also was awarded the peoples choice, which was based on the votes of the 130 PCA members attending. When you think PCA or Porsche you think 911 or 356 not 944 or 968, and I have never seen any car but those two take the peoples choice. It just might be that these great cars are starting to be seen and respected by the rest of the Porsche world. It has to start some where.

Soo. . . What did you tell him?
I just said "uh, no. It's a Porsche." He said "oh Porsh, cool."
People I run into often think the 968 is anything but a Porsche. Guy at the liquor store said it was a Ferrari.
Anyway, congrats to the OP on the People's Choice Award!

I can think of a lot of different reasons but the bottem line is that I love the car. I love driving it, I love looking at it and I love when people don't know what it is. I love working on it correcting little faults and adding improvments. I have owned a bunch of cars in my 65 years, Benzs, BMW, Audis, VW, Jags, Corvetts, GTO's, Corvairs (Times 5.), Hell even a Ford GT40. With all that said and done I couldent give a rats a** what others think of my object of passion, if it's thumbs up, thank you, if thumbs down, thanks and have a good day. The two awards from Zonefest are to me a validation of the work I put in to make a silk purse out of a sows ear, and an indicater that the 968 is starting to be recognized as the great car that it is.
