    Reminds me of a Seinfield episode where Kramer got '**** MAN' for a license plate. Women were leaving their phone number under the wiper.

    Those Dakota gals can get pretty frisky, good luck getting em in the backseat, or driving down a snowmobile trail, or low maintenance road, with them as the clearance on your Boxter isn't much. You wouldn't want to get stuck out in the boonies and need a tow truck to pull you out!

    I'm sure PFB will have many more adventures to report on in the future.

    That must have been just after your wife had gotten out of the driver's seat after driving you somewhere, PFB. They were just making sure that it was, in fact, a dude sitting there in the passenger seat of that "chick's car"!

    Their smiles that you might have thought you saw, PFB, were more likely the start of their own LOL session!





























    All in good fun, PFB! :-)






    Tell your wife we like her car!

    Rofl Boxsters are a dime a dozen... nothing special about driving one. They handle well with the manual transmission so you can keep in the power band. I'd prefer an S2k or M3 convertible however. So tell me - have you roasted anyone at the red lights other than some ricers?

    Wrong. Keep reading past "thereby." He was actually correct about the misspelling, but clearly erred in his assessment of gimpod's intelligence.

    Yes I suck when it comes to spelling and grammar and I'm glad my intelligence or lack of could add some more fodder to this thread (you try posting on Morphine and Valium) but at least I'm smart enough not to buy a girls Porsche on e-bay sight unseen. I just hope when PFB finely wraps it around a phone pole he doesn't hurt himself or anybody else.

    On a parting note: If you equate Intelligence to being smart, than you missed the boat.

    Peace, Love and Rock n' Roll. :smile:
