Now that you mention it ... I went to a very swanky wedding reception (think Dynasty or Dallas TV Series) last year .... I had been set up with a hot chick (the bride's sister) by the bride. About 2 miles from the mansion my timing belt light comes on, and she starts whining!!!! ACK!!

Nothing like having a AAA tow truck driver with facial tattoos, smelling like an ashtray, chewing tabacky, raising your Porsche onto a flatbed at a reception like that .... and then telling you: "I ain't takin' this thang no-hwhere without you ridin' along with me in tha truck". Never did hit it off with the sister either.

 

Sorry about that, the car I mean. I ended up dating my friend's sister and almost marry her.

 

You forgot the third option, the one that says:

"you are joking...aren't you?"

 

Key phrase is: Children come first, then the Porsche, then.....everything else.

It's best to invest in the future. It will always pay off.
(You never know when you'll need the help of a pair of little hands to reach that bolt you dropped in that tight place)

 

My wife and I are divorced. So if she called me NOW and needed to be rushed to the hospital, and I'm working on the Shark, she can wait, the Shark comes first.

 

Nee, that is the case with me too

 

Regret: I used ta work on big, water cooled computers. Really expensive. So, my wife goes into labor, first kid, I'm all excited. We get to the hospital, and my beeper goes off, WTF? Go to work, on Sunday? Wife's in labor? No, it's not happening. I tell them to get someone else. Pager goes off again, wife's in DELIVERY this time, I don't call back for an hour. Still want me to go to work; huge account, system down, loosing bizillions, blah blah. I tell them no, and the boss actually tried the stick approach with lots of warnings, I hang up. Pager again - 911 call asap. I call then the carrot approach is on, wife is in recovery, kid is fine, three hours old and I go off to fix this POS mainframe. Finish about 5 hours round trip to the hospital.

Four months later, layoff time - you guessed it, whack! The new daddy has to find work. I will never forgive myself for my own stupidity. Kids first, Porsche later, job - it can wait till Hell freezes.

 

Doc, my priorities exactly.
Heinrich

 

Doc, about your sig .... I thought there were īō kinds?

 

OH COME ON!, I don't believe your all falling for the Bambi photo, and for the rest of the points raised I'll address in a SENSIBLE manner!

1- A lifetime of nagging
Surely this is going to happen anyway -it's just the topic matter that changes!

2- No more sex
He now has three young kids and two Porches to maintain, a large house, two mates Porches - soon to be three, a full time job, and you think he has time for sex.
(Plus the fact that rumour has it he hasn't got the tools for it- not enough for a five finger handshake! in fact he is rather good at holding a nice teacup of tea in a very quaint way ( 2 fingers and thumb , picture it!) As my old man says " If you can't do it right don't do it at all" That's 3 flukes so far!!!!

3-Chlildren over Porsche
It hurt even typing it!- That's two females he now has to find money to marry off in 20 years, that's **** loads more than a superb supercharger- where's the value in that!
4- The Shark won't cook me dinner
I've tasted her cooking once- just like everyone else, ONCE

Now what you haven't taken into account is that he wont stop at three, no no he might do this again to me next year and even the year after that, if you all vote in my favour he might not do this again!!!

All joking aside I read the 928 manual on drive shaft replacement and as usual the book made it sound really easy, but that's the problem, anytime I touch my baby it always ends up as brain surgery, I damaged my radiator TWICE, yes, TWICE while doing a waterpump replacement since that time I've been under strict instruction not to touch my Shark unsupervised since then by Jim, although the radiator repair guy does know me by name!!!
Congratulations Jim, when do we wet the baby's head????????

 

Anyone else in the same . . .er, boat?

I think I know what a Jumbuck is. But do you?
Colin. 89GT

 

It's a skaap

 

My wife insisted that I buy an 89 GT, just because she thought it would make me happy. It's about selection all right.
