Default Geneva Cancelled

I've been losing sleep in anticipation of the 992 Turbo debut. It may be time to open that bottle of Ambien. I'm praying this virus doesn't get much worse.

^More an excuse than a reason, I think. I guess half of the automakers don't bother to show up to this anymore. I saw an article weeks ago suggesting this might happen.

Thank you for posting that, sir! My adrenaline only took a short nap. The unveiling will be 2 days before I was even hoping. It's gonna be a Super Tuesday after all. I wonder when the configurator will be available.

In case you didn't notice: 10:10 AM (CET) is 4:10 AM (EST). I didn't catch the CET before a family member pointed it out. So the whole world does not operate according to my time zone?

Thanks for the countdown page, arek.

Agreed. Look away from the equities, friends. It's like watching surgery on a dying patient. Nothing to see here...

I was thinking the same thing. I have lost way more money than my new 911 is going to cost this week. I guess it's a good thing retirement is still way in the future!
