Bull - you're making progress. From hot laps to hot rubber to hot lips .. good for you. Let me know before your web site becomes NSFW though.

Great post by the way and it took me more than a couple of minutes to get the joke.

My biggest concern is accuracy. Now, I realise that owning a Rolodex is all about image and investment, but what is the use of having such a piece if after one month you flick a whole letter past the correct place you need. For all of the hand crafted skills involved, wouldn't a digital one be better

I love this post! I was kind of rolling my eyes at the original post where guys were talking about their Rolex's. Really kind of reinforces the unfair stereotype that people have about Porsche owners. Hell, I'm doing good to afford just a cheap watch after spending all my money on my cars! (For the record, I don't even wear a watch...)

Well TR6, I don't care what you say, I'm just so proud of my Rolex. I got it on Canal Street in NY for a great price. People are just amazed when they look at it. Many just shake their heads and are speechless!

There is a company out there call Timodex. All digital and very affordable. I've even heard they flick to the proper letter more accurately than a Rolodex.

I'm a watch nut but like the p-car I'll wait until I can afford a 2K-15K watch. And I thought it was a bit much posting it. But to each his own. His watch costs more than some cars on here.
I've got an itch for the Timex etide watch. It looks pretty sweet and it's only a third of the cost of a short shift kit. Or around the price of a porter cable random orbital.
Geez I've been thinking, hopefully we'll sell our house in Tucson for twice the price of a used CGT. Then maybe we can afford a home in CA for about a CGT and a GT3 put together. Damn, that's way over 1000 Advan Neovas. I hope I get a bonus of around ten PSS9 set ups....I think the Lunesta and the SKY is kicking in. Fark it's a elefant..sadeqwafgvdsfag.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
