    Who knows - PFB could get a million miles on his Boxster, and have the last laugh a few decades from now.

    He's going to have to slow his roll just to make it through the end of the month, much less another decade. Thank god his parents never got him a home chemistry set.

    Dude, his attention span is about ten minutes, let alone decades. I think PFB is going to find out the hard way that a Porsche doesn't handle abuse well. Lets not forget he just got his license too. A Porsche is for winding roads, not jumping the farm pond, or hearding cattle.

    He better be happy with the "trophy" he already has. A woman that hauls around a 35 year old man in this day and age is still beyond me. She must be one helluva woman!

    Sorry Ken....I didn't think that was bad at all. I've seen a lot worse said before and not edited out.

    My bet is the seller has it towed after waiting weeks for it to be picked up.

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    You guys need to take a break from lighting the torches. I have on good account the car is real, and pics to be forthcoming. I know I myself have given PFB his share of beatings, but all in good fun. This thread is turning a tad to the dark side. Lets say we ease up on PFB...give him a chance to post his pics when the car gets there.
