I like him.

Funny; in the absence of any hard evidence, I had it in mind that you looked like that.

What's with the "...back in the..."? I know you posted from Seattle a few weeks ago; have you been kidnapped?

And you would have been correct. There is a strong resemblance, especially in the eyes, according to my wife.

I work for his legacy company and am here in the Seattle area on temp assignment to help out the parent company. I get to go home every 3 weeks on paid company travel.

Auburn University (AU) alumni and huge fan - help run the alumni club up here and maintain my football season ticks with four friends even though I have to fly from Boston to attend fall games. Have an AU alumni sticker in the back window so if you're in the Boston area and see a teal metallic 996 with an AU in the back window, you have just sighted AUPorsche.

My last name is Jackson. My 7th grade football coach would call me jackball (I have no idea why) when I screwed up, and the nickname stuck through high school. With my 20 year reunion coming up this year, I am sure to hear it again very soon.

If you see a Speed Yellow 997 C4S....that's me!
I basically waive/flash at all the other p-cars even though most people probably figure I'm trying to warn them about a cop oblivious to our common denominator.

Mine comes from Ebay. Years ago when I first joined, I sold production movie scripts on it... that was my "Niche" so I wanted that to be my username there and it still is and anywhere else I sign up.

used to drive a mitsubishi Evo 8 that I think in 2 years and 60,000+ miles of ownership, I washed maybe twice. Drove the living hell out of it on dirt roads / fire roads, through the desert, etc... sometimes would have mud so thick that you couldn't see what color was (until the next rainstorm). Loved that car.
