I haven't experienced *envy*, but a friend of mine has a cherry, full body-off restored, '61, series 1, Jaguar XKE rag-top, black with red leather, and by Gawd, I envy him every time he opens the garage door and we go for a ride. Whatta car!

And creek - "crick"... and all of you - "y'all"?
Reminds me of a time I was working with some guys from Univ of Texas - guy calls me up on the radio - "Y'all 'er ready?"
I ask him "What???"
He repeats "Y'all 'er ready??"
Again, I say "What???"
He says "I said, Y'all 'er ready???"
Still didn't really hear him right, so I say, "Larry, What's Y"all 'er???"
Larry, this great big Texan, cowboy/electrical engineer, with a great big Texan accent says to me, "I guess where you come from it's a color..."
That's a no-sh*tter...

Same project - we got these British guys... they're taking their proverbial morning tea and something's missing... I hear on the radio "We'd like to have our sugar back. Can we get our sugar back?!"
I respond, "What's sugarback???"
After a pregnant pause... In their most proper British accent, "Just bugger off, Rudy..."
I guess they needed their tea...
It was a long project, but fun...

Great topic. Sold my 944 after 19 years, paid off the SuperCrew, saved for 8 months, now i'm wondering where i can park my car so the jerk who does my revue won't take "he just bought a porsche" into consideration. I worked nearly 500 hours overtime last year and I'm affraid I'll have to hide the car I've wanted since I was 14. I'm 41 now...

I gave a ride to a co-worker out for lunch yesterday, he was in AWE saying "man. I never have had a chance to ride in a car like this before" - He bought a new Prius last year that prbably cost 2x what I paid for my car - some people just dont know how to make good choices
