in todays mixed up world, that ad wouldn't be considered "politically correct".

to update it, you need a gender fluid child with pink hair and revised verbiage HA!

Could only imagine how well it would go off by giving my other half a stapler.

Got to love a Porsche ad that shows various generations of 911s exhibiting trademark wheel lift and snap oversteer...

I drove a 930 once, or twice, I found that it was not forgiving, even on slow corners and it caught me off guard a couple of times...

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. If I wasn’t into my 2nd Manhattan, I’d be looking for the keys.

Here's one of the first reviews of the 996 Turbo (seen on this forum before I'm sure). It's worth watching it if for no other reason than to see Tiff Needell doughnut turn around the other 911s.
