I think the survey represent the demographic on this site. It's an older crowd...

Fine. I'll come creep on you this afternoon then. May or may not be in the 911.

I actually went to work today for a change so I won't be home until around 7 I expect.

Other than a mid-morning appointment tomorrow I'll be around tomorrow though.

I have to swing by the store on the way home tonight, should I pick you up Bud?

I wouldn't say no to a quality, refreshing beverage!

Will aim for tomorrow then. You'll be one of the last people to see me wearing glasses!

So what you are saying is your senility is why you haven't hung that picture up after 5 months?

I guess advanced age also brings with it certain other functional issues which explains your need for a big red Turbo to compensate with...

I had my midlife crisis at 24 and bought my XK8.

The 996 was a make up/marriage gift to ettil for the XK8 showing up unannounced.

If then only times you're supposed have fun cars is at a crisis of some sort, then I intend to have crises on a regular basis.

Yeah I had a few friends make the midlife crisis joke when I bought the 996, which I still don't understand. I'm 24, I hope this isn't "midlife". Just a sports car.
