    He doesn't own a Porsche. He bought a used Boxster.
    Every morning when I pour cereal I imagine your pc you sent falling into bowl with the flakes. My car is super fun to drive, has better handling than the 911 and it is beautiful to look at. I also get complimented all the time from random people so I am happy with it and thats what is most important.

    A friend of mine used to have one, but I don't remember which version. Unfortunately he lost it with Katrina. He loved that car and always talked about it.

    You don't pick up on sarcasm very well do you?
    And it is Box*S*ter. The top 2 owner demographics for the Porsche Boxster...divorced middle aged women and college aged females. But given the skinny jeans, I have my suspicions.

    Maybe this will have you coming back, another tube amp arrived smashed today via fedex. I told the guy not to use ups because Ihad two arrived smashed. Well the tubes are smashed up in the BAT because of the terrible packing job.

    Your saying all this but yet you drive a used run of the mill BMW?

    If you and i were to pull up to a pretty girl on the street she would ask me if I needed directions and inform you that she is not a prostitute.

    You keep telling yourself that cupcake. Real men drive GT3s or 996s or even a Cayman S for that matter. Wannabes drive a $14000 used girl's Porsche.
    And the women who matter know the different between a Porsche that cost $35k new and a BMW that cost $65k new.
    Girls marry boys who drive Boxsters they bought with mommy and daddy's money instead of paying cash themselves.

    I already have a wife so my manhood is taken. Or at least that's what she told me to say.

    You know...I got thinking about PFB's comment about pulling up to a girl.
    Her response would most likely be, "****...you're a dude? I only thought other girls drove these!"

    Ouch dude, you still have it man, don't ever doubt that. Also, I omitted the posted cars...Porsche and Bavarian Money Wasters don't do it for this guy...give me my 17 year old two wheel drive F150, gets one from A to B effectively, sometimes with a thousand pounds in the back or tenderly bringing SDA speakers home with ease.

    We have the wife's truck-car for hauling speakers. To each their own on vehicles. Probably as personal of a purchase as the house you choose to own or build. Me...I like my rock solid Autobahn cruise missile. The wife loves her Toyota and Acuras.
    Being a car guy, every 3 or 4 years, I buy something else as I enjoy a change of scenery.

    I drive a '95 Civic VX that gets 60mpg on the highway (without batteries, suck it Prius) and has a 92 horsepower 1500cc engine. Who's the girl with no money now?

    Wait, I don't think I did that right.

    Say, you don't happen to have any offerings of the female persuasion, do you ? I don't particularly care what her knowledge level is regarding electrical engineering although she should be able to plug in an iron and know her way around kitchen utensils ( at least enough to make a good sammich).
