Unhappy I think I'm obsessed

I saw this at a local drive-thru. Does anybody else notice this kind of stuff?

Kinda makes you feel for those 968 guys. Do they smile at 10:08?

Ever since I was little my mom would go

"Mikey, look its 9:44..."

(She was the orginal owner of my 944 and took it back from me after I bought it..she loves that car!)

For a long time now, I have always gotten excited during the nine o'clock hour. Funny how the best is saved for last: 9:59.... As a side note, I got to see my first 959 this weekend at the Funfest. I was blown away by that beautiful machine, as it was my childhood dreamcar. Well, for that matter, it is my adulthood dreamcar, as well! And to think the keys were right there on the center console!
