Will do. What's the Porsche community in Israel like?

There's a fair amount of Porsche's over here, but it must be understood that new cars are taxed about 150% above their US price, and then add 16% VAT on top of it. This turns a Honda Accord into a $100,000 car. Therefore, most of the Porsche's around are driven by the super rich, and these guys ain't that friendly, and neither are their wives!

There's about 25-40 old 911's on the road, and these guys are great!! I've also seen a few 944's, 924's, and 914's.

I live in the country between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The roads over here are simply amazing. I get giddy just driving to work! One day I'll get the video camera set up and post some vids on youtube.

Wow. That would be great! Let us know when you do that. Stay safe over there. Our family's prayers are with and your country. It's a real shame how our President is treating you!
