Default Well that sucked

This morning sucked.
The day sucked.
The evening sucked.
I'm just leaving the office at 8:30.

But this is my ride home

Work is a four letter word, but that would put a smile on most people!

NICE RIDE!

Only because the dark and glare combination hide how bad the paint is, the big ding in the door, and covers up most of the flaking chrome on the wheels

It did sing me a sweet lullaby on the way home and an idiot taxi driver (in a Prius of course) gave it cause to remind me how much Porsche knows about good braking.

I still like my Cayenne more, but it's hard to complain too much when that your back up car

Yeah, that will help put a smile on your face after a crappy, day! Hope it is a long winding road you have to drive on to get home?!

Obviously your day wasn't THAT crappy or else we would've seen two skid marks on the pavement of that garage.

The 996 is actually hers, but our son's seat spends most of it's time in the P!g so I end up driving the 911 (poor me, I know ). I found with my Escape though that I'm just an SUV guy. I appreciate the 911, but I'm not connected to it. It's fun, but not a passion for me.

I love my P!g though

It's a 4 so that would be a feat, but yeah. I did have fears of coming out to a puddle of oil under it like I found shortly after the transmission was rebuilt. Was good not to see that again

More so than a yellow one?

It spends it's time in the IAD area if you are ever down this way. I used to see one in red in Sterling, VA, but hadn't seen it in a year or so before I changed jobs and stop going out there. I know there is another black one running around this area too, but I've never seen it in person.
