Oh, sorry, I was distracted by that giant sign in the background of the video that says "Rockwell Automation". Silly me.

HAHAHA that is a good question Thundertub
um read it about 3 or 4 times... he has a 997.5 lineD up for $1500 over invoice, with PDK and is asking mpg figures if people can report on PDK and manual cars??
This post really cracked me up. Now I do consider that my English is pretty much at par with native speakers for all practical purposes, however post #2 and 3 had me scratching my head for several minutes!!

All I can guess is someone asked a very lucid question in another language and ran it through a translator page, and what we ended up with was... well, you can read what we ended up with. Its almost "engrish".

How did he do that without cracking up?? They must have enlisted some Star Trek Voyager writers for that bit.

The most amazing thing about this post is that the guy is paying $1500 over sticker for a Porsche in the worst economic downdraft in 80 years. Porsche sales are down ~50%! Dealers are giving these cars away at huge discounts and this guy is paying over sticker! Hey, let me know if you're also interested in some desert land at a really good price.

U Boat - do yourself a favour and search Watt's posts.....perhaps also consider Oaktree Investments website and the writings of Howard Marks..

Suffice he is paying $1500 over INVOICE...not sticker.
