Steve

Nice gesture on your part to post this apology - I would agree with the others in as much as there was no real need to do so but still appreciated.

Finn's comments would be a good summary of my feelings and as regards colour I think I'll keep my head down, my cars Green!

Best to all of you.

Michael B,

Thank you. I assume you're referring to "Priceless" as in:

97 Cab bought new: $85,000.

97 Coupe bought used: $58,000.

Three college educations: $38,000 per year each.

Keeping a sense of humor even though you're broke: Priceless.

I recall in that thread that someone insulted white as being a "rental car" color.

Geez, I never ran crying to my mommy, I just replied that I read in a British car magazine, I believe Porsche 911 World, that the color of his car was "naf" what-ever that means. But the Brits do have funny issues with car colors which I don't understand.

As far as the 996 jab goes, I thought it was friggen funny. But, that's just me.

"And you want to start racing one of your Porsches?"

We're talking about humor here, not logic.
But good point.

Perhaps I'll start wearing a T-shirt around my kids that says:

"I'm racing through your inheritance"

Perfect T-shirt BTW.

Steve, it was an opinion and should have been welcomed, so people can hear and see what others think outside their ivory castles. It was big of you, though, to apologize once it was put to you that your comments had hurt someones feelings but in the words of Charlie Brown,
"Good Grief"!
