Runforfun,
The guys are just having a little fun. Welcome to the BEST forum on this site. Nobody is over-the-top serious here. We chat, we discuss, we throw a few light-hearted barbs at each other from time-to-time, and we offer plenty of "popcorn." Be careful not to ask about oil choices or which 996 is the "best."
Feel free to ask whatever you want. Chances are we have already roasted someone before on that topic and you are just dredging up fond memories. LOL!

Anyone for an ENZO?

We need to get you another appointment with your brother!

Talking of appointments, I'll be back in Philly several times this month, we should get together for lunch.

W - always look forward to seeing you. With your new position, I will let you buy me lunch. BTW, if you can find it, post a link to my original "little green circle" post so the OP of this thread doesn't feel like a total moron (like I did).

That is indeed the thread - thanks for posting it. Now, maybe this will reassure our OP that he's not the only one! I thought it was a "speedometer warning" light. Jeez.

It is the symbol for masculinity.
It only lights up after a good tussle with a worthy adversity on the track (or street.)
It will show as an arrow in a half circle unless you were over 150 or spun it into the weeds, then the arrow moves to the outside of a circle.
If you scare yourself bad enough to wet your britches it turns into a pink circle with a cross hanging from it.

Hehehe good one. Also don't forget the rear view mirrors have a feature of flashing red or blue lights with a little speaker in the back that sounds like a siren. When you see this feature it means a dark cloud is approaching so get home quick and hide the car in the garage.

No danger of that in Phil's driveway!

I miss you Phil, we've gotta get you down here

Phil, it's good to "see" you here again!

You need to get back into another Porsche. That way you will have a reason to post here more frequently, so we can make fun of ..... er..... I mean, so we can share your screw ups..... uhmmm....... share your "experiences ."
