NY/NJ/CT DIY crew meet?

Hello!!! I hope everyone reading this is well. I recently bought a higher mileage 997.1 turbo....1000 miles on it already and loving every minute of it.
I daily drive from upper Manhattan out here to Greenwich so I get a good hour to hour and a half of driving everyday.

I am new to Porsche and, but not new to working on my own cars. I still have the fear of touching my car because it is a Porsche. It is a fear I want to overcome as there are already a few items I want to tackle (shifter, slave cylinder).


All that being said....is anyone else interested in setting up a meet of locals here to help share ideas, horror stories, scars...anything really? The internet is great and this by far is the most enthusiastic forum I have come across for these cars.

If someone knows of a meet like this that already exists then please share so that I may join in on the fun as well.

Dont be afraid, imo the 911 is easier than most modern csrs to DIY. Its not a uni-corn, drive it and DIY!!!

Good luck!
