Rennlist Person A: Go Patriots!

Martin: F**king scalpers tried to sell me Super Bowl tickets for market prices! Good thing I have a 2012 4.0 in the garage. HaHa
Mooty: Futbale iz waste timme. Good foode, 2cycle and pretty woman iz what we need.
Whoopsy: I've got some inside info: Super Bowl 2020 will be in November this year.
ChicagoWhale: Win or lose, I'm sure Brady will guarantee Kraft has a happy ending.
Rennlist Person C: Hey moderators... ChicagoWhale is being offensive to Patriot's fans. Please ban him.
Yippiekiaye: This is bananas - why can't we all get along? You think those teams care about you? Did you know my 5 day vacation costs $35K, and I have BOTH a Ferrari and a McLaren?
Martin again: Anyone want to buy my Super Bowl tickets for $7,500? I conveniently decided I don't want them. HaHa
hilarious! have you tried standup??

That is some funny stuff. I think we do a pretty good job of disagreeing at times while remaining civil on here. I always try to be a gentleman and I think most of the other RLers do as well. This is a pretty great group we have here; knowledgeable, opinionated and mostly respectful. It beats the heck out of some of the other forums I have checked out.

At 5’6” wide I can park it in my living room (door is 6ft wide) so I don’t need another garage space.

An interesting lens to use is TCO (total cost of ownership) and standout features. Each brand has some standout features in their GT cars, and each has a fairly different TCO.

It is disappointing how heavy the 992 is. If Porsche doesn't step it up, once McLaren gets their reliability down. Game over

Just saw pictures of the 003. What a beautiful design. For a small company with a Bentleyesque reputation AM is doing some really cool things!

003 looks cool, but I’m bored by seven figure cars that only can be purchased by the .001 perecent and never are driven due to their value.
