Cabrio, how wild... my cell phone battery is starting to give me fits. Seems like they start to go at the one year mark. This was a replacement for my last one that died a horrible death last winter. I was jump starting my old truck and had the phone in my jacket pocket. When I reached up to slam the hood my jacket was at the perfect height to get caught between the hood and grill. BAM!!! It obliterated the phone when I slammed the hood closed.

Keen observation shows you also do the old 'Vodka in the water bottle' trick. That's a well appointed office!

Ouch! That must have hurt.

My favorite phone was my previous motorola V60. No camera, no color screen, no gadgets, just a great phone. I dropped it more times than I care to remember, it never died on me.

Lasted me 4 years until it came time to replace it with this one 3 months ago, it's all plastic and falling apart already.

Leland, Great office! You're missing the "Everybody Wants One" poster. Chris

Actually, I have that one at my house. I figured my boss wouldn't appreciate it as much as I do. She's weird like that.

When I thought of a Porsche office - this is what I came up with. This was taken last summer. The 997 Carerra S has been replaced with a Carerra 4 S Cab, and the 996 has been replaced by an '06 Viper.

What, you ran out of money when it came time to frame the "New 911 Carrera 4" poster?

Nice office. When your post said office, I thought by looking at those pics that it was your HOME office! I realized later in the thread that it's your actual office at work. WOW. My workmates would freak if I had all that Porsche stuff up at work.

I have most of those great 993 posters too, but they're all in my garage. Very cool office. Thanks for posting. My office at home is full of Grateful Dead posters, not Porsche

I can't find a frame big enough for it! I've looked all over and it appears to be a irregular size.

I do what I want in my office. I'm surrounded by new people so I typically do as I please.
It's tough being senior at 27.

Carmen, I would pass out cold if I walked outside and saw those cars in a parking lot. Very cool!

You're right, Leland, the poster IS an odd size. I had to have all mine professionally framed at a frame shop. It wasn't cheap and felt guilty after having them all done. I could have bought the alum/leather emerg brake and MY 02 shifter for the same price! But, the garage had to look good.

Cheers,

Very nice Leland. I have a tough time with just having my wallpaper being Porsche stuff. That alone usually creates conversations with people that come to my office. Your office would totally kill my productivity. Amazing how everyone that sees a picture of a 911 in your office makes mention and wants to talk about it.
