Why was this site created?
After I bought my 968 in February of 1998, I realized there was a dearth of 968-related information on the Internet. So I set out to create the one source for anything anyone could ever want to know about the 968. I wanted to develop the kind of site I wish existed when I bought my car.

Why did you buy a 968?
In late 1997 I was looking to replace my '87 Audi 5000S, which was in need of some rather expensive repairs. The Audi had 150,000 miles, and I figured it didn't make much sense to sink a lot of money in her, so I set out to find an Audi S-4. These super-fast sedans are rare, and I had trouble finding one in Atlanta. Many dealers had never even seen such a beast. While one such dealer worked the phones for an S-4 he believed to exist in Florida, I wandered his lot and noticed a beautiful triple-black 968 cabriolet. I looked her over for a good ten minutes before the dealer joined me. He hadn't yet found the S-4, but asked if I was interested in the 968. Heck, I replied, I'd always wanted a Porsche, but I probably couldn't afford one. As it turned out this 968 was less expensive than the S-4. I went home that night and voraciously searched the Internet for 968 info. You know how helpful this was. I did manage to find morsels here and there, and soon I was completely sold on the car. Unfortunately that particular 968 failed my trusted mechanic's pre-purchase inspection, but within a few months I found a 968 my mechanic approved of. This beautiful '94 cabriolet can be found on the Registry, listed under Tom & Kathy Greany, to whom I sold the cab in October of 2000. Four days after selling the cab I picked up a '94 speed yellow coupe, which can be seen in photos throughout this site. I still have the Audi, by the way.

So you're a web developer, right?
Ha! It should be obvious to y'all that this web stuff is just a hobby. There's nothing fancy about 968.net; if Microsoft Front Page can't do it, I can't do it, and you won't see it. Any and all suggestions are welcome!

What do you do to support your Porsche habit?
By day I'm a product development manager for Cox Communications. Currently I'm developing products for the residential high-speed data market. Great career for meeting women, let me tell you.

Anything more you can tell us about yourself?
