We all love Paul, but I can no longer keep up with all his new cars...

Here's a poll (pool) to see how long he can keep his AMG...

Thanks Colby! As much as I was hoping for microsurgery, it looks like some type
of fusion is necessary. A surgeon from 6 speed recommended a Doc Taylor in
San Diego. I wil be calling last nite.

Wow... That sounds intense. If you need a second opinion i know quite a few doctors down south at UCLA. No surgeons personally but i'm sure someone i know has a top recommendation.

Good luck with the back and the new ride.

I figure by next spring OG's back problem would be a distant memory, and the GT3 withdrawal symtoms would get the better of him. So by April '09 the AMG would be gone and another 911 variant will be back.

Nope.

The wife will inherit the C63 (it is such a great car). She will start auto crossing; and nothing but an RSR will do for them.

The 3 series and X-5 will be history.

Paul, I remember you telling me about your back some time ago, sorry to hear it hasn't improved. Good luck with the surgery! You'll be back driving hardcore Porsches in no time.

Paul,

Wife says: Last one? That's what you said when you bought the Midnight Blue 993TT. I remembered that clearly when we were visiting at ViperBob's circa January 2004. That was about 4.5 years and (your)18 new cars ago.

Lady Merritt is a true Saint.

Enjoy in great health, front, back, and sideways.

Pong Effectively what I did was cash out of the Porsche world. I would never leave spiritually, but I have no car in the garage to match my Porsche emblem I painted on my Garage wall
