I have a lot left, too, and I think it's my excuse to make tacos (or eat chunks in front of the fridge).

someone please sprinkle queso fresco and cilantro on the Strait of Hormuz so I can afford to heat my house

I should just carry around fresh cilantro and queso fresco to make everything better. Put it on my pasta. Put it on my tacos. Put it on my sad bank account. Put it on your grouchy uncle. Put it on the 2026 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Woodland. Put it on the yard. Everywhere. It makes everything better.

the change from Northwood Junior High to Northwood Middle School really wrecks the few cheers I remember from my lone attempt to be a cheerleader, lol

We gotta bring back this color scheme. Even my junior high was purple and teal (and grey, all the way) in the '90s, man. It looked good.

Vintage Fisher Price Puffalump Teddy Bear Peach Orange Plush Heart Bib 1989 | eBay
This Fisher-Price Puffalump 1370 in a light orange / peach color comes with the original packaging. That packaging is pretty beat up however. The bear is actually still attached to the backing board. The bear itself is in very good condition with only a few small minor blemishes. Please see the photos.

ooh yeah, either budget to redo the IMS bearing (even on early 987s, which I've seen go kaboom, too) or find one where that's been done already

As for the usually cheaper parsh numbers: 951 = 944 Turbo 931 = 924 Turbo 986 = early Boxster 987 = 2nd-gen Boxster/1st-gen Cayman 914 = 914 944 = non-turbo 944 "Early 944" = 1983-1985.5 / "Late 944" = anything after that 928 = 928 924 = 924 924S = late-'80s 924 w/ 2.5L Porsche engine

Stef Schrader @hoonofthe.day · 25/09/2026
There's a ton of 944 events I still need to do, too—944Fest, 944Camp. Gosh, I'd love to schedule the 944's move around 944Camp. 944/924 folks skew a bit younger and are less precious about the cars, too.

Stef Schrader @hoonofthe.day · 25/09/2026
Also, I'm constantly yelling that PCA folks are Cool and Nice, Actually, at least in the central Texas and northeastern regions. So many folks who actually track their cars as parsh intended! And whole spec racing groups for 944s!
110
Stef Schrader @hoonofthe.day · 25/09/2026
If you'd rather avoid that, poking through the Mart on the PCA site also lists cars by generation, or heck, Wikipedia's a good resource for that: mart.pca.org Honestly, most folks seem to just say "early Boxster," "2006 Cayman," "1982 928." Chassis codes you just kinda learn via exposure.

As for chassis codes, Rennlist lists 'em all out by subforum names, but fair warning, the politics forums are noxious and I avoid them like the plague. They're helpful otherwise, though, save for the goober who trolls 944 threads to suggest an LS swap at every opportunity.

Stef Schrader @hoonofthe.day · 25/09/2026
The Boxster is good fun, too, but the 944's front engine is SO much easier to work on. I'd recommend a 914 if you want to go aircooled, too, but it also has mid-engine accessibility woes (although if that Type 4 engine is like the 411's, it doesn't take much to remove).

Stef Schrader @hoonofthe.day · 25/09/2026
Parts availability is actually quite good for the 944 and later 924S! There's a wealth of knowledge online from racers and enthusiasts (including a whole how-to guide in Clark's Garage), 944-specific parts joints (944online, 944 Barn), and Porsche still makes a lot of its classic parts.

Ha, you're not the only one to think this, apparently. ...which is how I learned of the SEIS leches cake. SEIS. HOW CAN WE FIT MORE MILKS IN THE CAKE? Is it POSSIBLE?

Shameful. (Still.) This blatant sportswashing exercise has been a stain on the F1 calendar from the start, but talk about burying the gottdanged lead here.
