    Can't wait til you burn out your clutch trying to race people at stop lights. You realize that a v6 Mustang will rape you right? And on top of it, get 31mpg to boot.

    Reading this has been some of the best 15 minutes I've had in a long time.

    Is this the same PFB that lived in a trailer and painted some speakers?

    With the success of his new movie, director Ron Howard is presently in negotiations with PFB for a prequel to "Rush".
    It's my understanding that PFB submitted the following footage to Ron:

    <iframe width="480" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/a7o9bI3JMOY?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    It's also my understanding that the cat's name is "Nikki CLAW-da".

    ...... that's right ..... "Nikki CLAW-da" ........

    I might be new here but PFB and MOST of you guys make my belly hurt from laughter! Geez! Funny stuff and posts!

    For the few that are "a little too critical" and harsh IMHO. Lay off the guy a little man. It's his life and he can do whatever. (As long as it doesn't hurt someone else) (Although a high maintenance Porshe IS prolly a bad 1st car choice)

    PFB, I saw the pic of your VERY cute wife and from my perspective, If you got her, happiness and peace, you got a lot of folks licked. I don't have that much either, but I do have the above. My wife is my friend and confidant...And, somehow things just work out. (with a little faith)

    Keep on keeping on! And keep us all entertained! Hope the others keep up yer butt a little also.

    Pablo

    P.S. What do you actually harvest???

    Judging by all the toys he supposedly has bought, I'd say weed is the crop of choice.

    Yah. Whatever trips ones trigger. I suspect he is the guy I meet on occasion to makes sure the wife is happy.

    Nah, weed doesn't affect a person like this. Coca leaf, maybe. Poppy, also likely. Weed, nah.

    ^^NO^^ Who's Pepster?

    Oh, and Boston, if you like that broad, much luv to ya! Not my cup o' tea. 8^)

    Nice hips though! Pangpang!

    I think PFB is just an "impulsive" buyer. Hell, so I am I. Just notsomuchnowadaysinmyolderyears...

    And now we continue programming starring PFB in the saga: "The Tale of Two Boxers"

    Co-starring Robert DeNero and Ferdinand Porshe.

    As Mr. Carl mentioned, thank goodness PFB has a good sense of humor. Keeping us busy with this thread has reduced street crimes by 15% !

    Well there was a slight delay with going back and forth over the finances but it is all final now and he informs me he will contact me when the shipper comes to collect the car from him. I was not happy about paying more than we had agree'd on but he was willing to back out the deal and keep the car so I had no other option but to pay or walk away.
