Welcome to North Carolina!
As a transplanted Californian, I have come to love the state - except for the humidity of course! Remember that now that you are in the South barbeque is a noun, not a verb. You also need to take a personal stand on ACC basketball (NC State, Duke, or Carolina). Much of the success of your social life will depend on your answer (I suggest supporting the Wolfpack, but make your own decision).
The PCA Carolinas Region is one of the best in the country. My region, Hurricane (covering the state from Raleigh to the coast and down to Myrtle Beach), has 3 968s at last count. Charlotte has fabulous car events - even for non-NASCAR people. The BMW plant has a great tour and does an annual Euro-fest that is very good. The mountain roads to your west are some of the best in the country and include the famous "Tail of the Dragon." Supposedly Porsche Parade in 2007 will be at the Biltmore in Asheville.

Gene,
Let us know when you get settled in and we'll do some drinks and grilling in the back yard. You Duckman and I are all probably within about 5 minutes of each other (if you live anywhere near StoneCrest or Ballantyne). The invite is open to anyone in the area, so hopefully we'll get a few additions. We haven't had many local get togethers since Bob Mallaney left the fold, but we'll try and get him to come by as well. Look forward to meeting you.

Hi
I too live in this neck of the woods, the local SCCA puts on a SoloII series as well as the Atlanta region, I find I can make Atlanta in about 3 hrs from Clover SC.
good to see another 968 move to the bible belt <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> .
thanks
