You start a OT thread on the 944 tech forum about it, of course, and talk about the revenge that you will wreak upon the infractor of such a heinous crime.

He sure did, and a red one was the star of the movie Terminal Velocity as well....

Ha, I too could name pretty much any sportscar before I was 10years old. I attribute this knowledge to collecting exotics sportscar trading cards with my brother and long road trips in the family van.

It is annoying to have a penny on your windshield, but not hard to get off. Thank god I had that Dillons card on my key ring. I mean, who is enough of a cheap *** to do a penny? Come on, make it a 1910 Walking Liberty next time, maybe even a Proof...if I get lucky...

Back on topic...

Is it just me, or is it weird that the Ferrari and Porsche Emblems look almost identical?

No?
Was thinking about doing that and adding a miata too.

in july i was offered 22500 on a trade in for the gto.
yesterday i was offered 18500 on a trade in for the gto.
i owe 23500 on the gto. if he offered me 21500 i would have done the deal. remember they gave me the car and $3000 in the trunk when i signed the deal for the car. if i gave back 2000 it still would have cost less than 200 a month.

they dont look almost identical at all.. the only thing similar is the horse rearing up, but even they look very different

From 5 feet? They surely do. Both yellow, both have a Horse rearing up. One who doesn't study the properties of the emblems, would surely mistake one for the other...

Porsche badge:



Ferrari badge:



If you can't tell the difference from 5 feet, you might want to have a professional administer this:

Hey Tifo
Remember the odd couple when they played their fathers. Felix's dad was an optometrist.

The chart was
I
LO
VEY
OUD
AD

We gotta stop showing LilNSweety the errors of his ways, it is getting played.


The next time i stumble on the document saying our family friend that served in the german army during ww2 was not a **** i will scan it and send it to you. The seal of stuttgart is the porsche emblem round, without the denver/ford bronco in the middle.

from five feet away i thought i was looking at a bronco's linebacker, when in fact it was an oncoming porsche. From ten feet away you may mistake your 944 for an old ford suv.
