Actually I sympathize with mrpc. It's FredGarvin's comments I was referring to.

How much profit do you guys think there actually is on the car? I happen to know the actual cost of the cars and can say I am surprised that US dealers give any discount!

I'm curious how they can advertise the car as new when Barrett is NOT a Porsche dealer in San Antonio. Can a non-Porsche dealer actually sell a new car? Confused on this one. Just seem to think there is a reason the car sold for 10% off.

I was in San Antonio for 25 years and the I have been to not only Barrett (Ferrari dealer) but can say the ONLY Porsche dealer in the city is The Porsche Center on Fredd and 410.

So what's this guy's problem again?
Things will only get worse for physicians. It's possible that the Republicans will lose control of Congress in 2006, and it's likely that Clinton will be elected President in 2008. By 2010 a National Health plan will be likely.

Great, there goes my mortgage and track addiction! I'll be the first on the bus to Cananda if that happens. However, do you really think that would EVER happen here in the Republic? Not a chance.

O.K., momentary panic attack completed. Back to reality.

LOL I didn't mean to scare you guys, but my motto is to hope for the best but prepare for the worse. Politicians aren't the smartest people, and I wonder if it ever occurs to them that the average Joe isn't going to go to College for 7 years and incur a huge College debt, and then have the prospect of earning only a mediocre income.
