Very bad news for P-dealers. Sales waaay down
The wiseguys who told me $40K over for their very special GT-2 called the other day. The very nice saleslady told me that if I offered MSRP she would, "take it to her manager".
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

the Q is HOW HOW HOW DO WE ACCOMPLISH WHAT IS BEGIN SAID. if they can explain how the financial mkt can be regulated, housing price stablized, options, futures and exotic derivitives controlled, etc etc etc i would give up driving nice car for life.
HOW is the key, not WHAT, we all know to do...
the debate was a waste of my two hours.
could have been changing oil.

I didnt watch any debates. Waste of time. I know Obama will be hated by everyone I work with
The military. The disgust that this guy will be the commander and chief is even more than Clinton.
but we will just have to get through the 2nd coming of the Carter administration and see if the next pres
is better. But look at this most Democrats and some republicans come out of college become clerks then become a state official, then run for national office then we are were we are. they have NO real lift experiencne (especially the Dems) and can barely balance a check book as evidenced by the congress bank scandal about 15 years ago. We should have known then that they shouldnt have ANYTHING TO do with finance. ANY of em.

Everyone?
I know or know of quite a few active and retired military personnel as well as defense contractors who are not pleased at the prospect of another Republican in the White House.
Who are some of these people specifically? Hint - I went to college with Gen. Patraeus' daughter...
Also, please find me one USNA 58' grad who has a single nice thing to say about John McCain.
I agree with you that the Congress generally does not have the experience necessary to figure out what to do about the economy and that a professional political class is not to our advantage as a country.

Aw Jasus now lads (and lassies), let's keep the politics (and religion) out of here.
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.

I was going to buy a Cayman S a few days ago, the dealer offered me $4k under sticker, good deal at other times, but not a good one given what is being discounted at other places.
Then, I called in regards to a pre-owned Cayman S somewhere else, asking price was on the low 70s, I offered low 50s. A few days ago they dropped it to high 50s, it's still for sale. Sticker was close to $90k (PCCB, Nav, PASM, exclusive, etc).
I tried to find a GT2, everybody wanted $$$ over sticker, I could not find the cars at MSRP, not around my area.
The good thing with the GT2/GT3 is that everybody loves them, and they're in short supply.

Hmmm.... Interesting.
I talked to salespeople at Fletcher Jones (Fremont) and Carlsen (Redwood City). I simply asked: how's business lately? They both snickered indignantly and said: "our clients are NEVER bothered by economy. They all spend freely when it comes to Porsches!!!!"
Life of a Porsche owner (and by extension, a Porsche salesman) must be pretty good.
