Nicely done. April fools isn't supposed to be humorous, it's meant to fool. Well done chap

There will always be somebody that is put off by it. Can't worry about that.

For me, I have to admit you had me for a sec. After I read your OP I started screaming at the computer when you said you decided to go ahead and drive to work after hearing the marbles in the tin can. Then I realized there was no way that I was going to get suckered in

I'm no statistician, but I have learned from the Rennlist family some of the do's and dont's while taking ownership of the Porsche 996. I was surprised to see that no one else had been the 'April-Fooler'today, so I thought I'd try.

I laughed after the first couple of sentences. Smashing the boss's car while he watched was a good touch.

Other than my wife, I'm my own boss, so I lied a little.

This was classic! Amazing how some bit that hook, line and sinker. Especially the IMS bit. Hilarious!

I also heard Ed sold ALL his extra parts laying around the garage floor. Well done Steve.
