Default Got a little bonus with my latest parts order...

Ordered a few items from vertex last week: new radiator, ignition wires, and a couple maintenance kits.

Well, I received my order the other day, and after going through it, I had a nice little laugh. Either the guys at vertex are way too used to 911's, or they are just really nice... last time I checked, our cars only have 4 cylinders, and hence, 4 spark plugs. But my two maintenance kits arrived with 12 plugs!

Thanks guys!

As an aside, I got this link this morning as a joke from my girlfriend.... scroll all the way to the bottom to find out that we are just irresponsible.... LOL!

You didn't get the V-12 option? You're good for the next 150k miles.

Buys a Porsche.

Or other high-end items that no man saving up for a ring or a future would purchase. Carol Morgan says, "If he acts financially immature and irresponsible, he's thinking 'me,' not 'we.'"

1 of 4 Reasons you shouldn't be marrying someone:
1) Makes retarded statements like, "Why are you spending money on your Porsche?", with an obvious sense of unfounded entitlement about the amount of money you should be spending on a ring.

I'm glad I bought my Porsche at 18, I have an excuse for 'financial irresponsibility!'
