Life of a Porsche owner (and by extension, a Porsche salesman) must be pretty good.

You're not telling the whole story when you say that however.

There are many "political" forums to express your opinions; and nobody here really gives a "Continental Damn" about your political views, if you feel the need; start with the "off topic" section.

Don't spoil this forum by introducing Politics or Religion.
Well you are correct. But some issues transcend "which tires" type questions I'm afraid

If they worked at Ferrari, maybe. Porsche, no. U.S. September sales (year-over-year):

Ferrari: +16%
Porsche: -45%

Yes, and before '92 you would have had a hard time finding a Georgetown '68 who thought the world of WJBC.

This is going to be ugly for a little while. I can't believe those two fellows were still trying to tell folks that they could fix things without sacrifice last night on TV. The Fed was just gonna come in and make it all go away...sure
Funny, I got the same call, verbatem, from my dealer a couple of days ago....they have 4 gt2s sitting on the lot originally 50k over.

I doubt anything near MSRP is going to work now. Porsches timing with the GT2 is not as good as it has been with the GT3
