Default Where do you put your priceless artifacts

Being a Porsche owner, I am all about status and making sure everyone knows that I am special and deserving of praise.

So, I have been carrying around my Van Gogh painting, The Night Café, in my rear seat. It hasn't been a problem until I installed the roll bar. Now it won't fit. I could roll it up, like I did one of my original copies of the Declaration of Independence, and un-roll it at cars and coffee, but that seems like an awful lot of work.

Just looking for some options. BTW, it will not fit in the frunk due to the frunk monkey that guards the George Washington thigh bone I keep in there.

You could cut it out of the frame and paste into your rear window. Anyone behind you is obviously inferior and doesn't deserve your gaze to grace them anyway.

You bought at the wrong time. As a original owner I say our 996 is priceless since there is no (current) price that could convince us to part with it

I sold my Honus Wagner baseball card to buy my 997. But now I understand from a recent thread in the 997 Forum that my 997 is a piece of junk. I tried to buy back my Honus Wagner baseball card but the buyer was happy with the purchase and didn't want to sell it to me.

So I am now stuck with my crappy 997 and no Honus Wagner baseball card...and that's why I drink.

I keep it in it's own case and then wrapped up in suede cover which sits in my center compartment.

So what you are saying is that you are one of those people that could actually make use of the cassette holder option?

See, that's why I haven't gotten rid of my precious cassette holder yet.

I keep my signed copy of John Ireland's book (it was a crappy PDF, so I had to print it out myself) in a box next to the fireplace in case I need some kindling...

No. He said frunk monkey.

Still, if you only had to get one out of 6 right, you got that one really right

I could but not for my most valuable collections. In that case, I high speed dub my original onto a TDK Metal Tape using an auto reverse deck as to not be inconvenienced of having to flip the tape to record the other side and use Dolby B noise reduction as to take away all that static background hiss so that I can hear all the romantic overtones and sibilance that the artist wants to convey.
