I thought there were a few other Porsche girls here. I just have to be cautious with what I say so as not to get you guys to excited or your wives/girlfriends upset.

Aren't those girls in the avatars wives and girlfriends? I saw a pic of Coochas' wife. She's pretty.

My father had a 356 Super 90 with red leather interior. It's in my DNA.

Hey Lori:

Question 1) I'm trying to figure out how a C4S Cab can go for $139K in the US. Or are you in Canada or Australia?

Question 2) Is your cat on a leash?

Yes they are. When I was about 4 years old my father gave me a little white go cart with a red seat. It was my Porsche.

I'm sure this is a beautiful car. I just found it while searching dealer sites. Too pricey for my taste but who ever gets it will cartainly have a very awesome Porsche.

WOW talk about "custom." Somebody lost a BIG deposit. Every once and a while one of our cats will go out on the deck but will have that terrified look like 'what the hell's wrong with the ceiling.'

Yeah, I meant to tell you that my C4s Cab didn't have the orange peel finish. Sadly my beloved Mercedes came with it and it had to be wet sanded out, but I was pleased that my 997 didn't. Apparently it is luck of the draw (or perhaps quality of the person who does your car) if you end up with a orange peel finish or not.
