guess in the end, it's an inside joke

make all the fun you want, the Porsche folks were so stupid to build such an ugly car

the view never changes for some... the irony is thick with this one.

The P!g is the legacy of Dr. W's 10 year plan... Threaten the future of the 911 and you could get people to go along with anything.

Filling up your P!G's fuel tank from a near empty will make you understand why the "swine" reference is in full effect....

The bar had been reset pretty damned high with that disaster.
I think it's time we urban-dictionaried "P!G" & "Koosered". What say you, Larry?

The answer is always the same:

"whatever you say Pops"

In the meantime, I am still hard at work with Divot trying to convince Mary Kay to dump Cadillac and start offering Pink P!gs to their top sellers ... I'm getting close.

Show 100 people a picture of a Cayenne and ask them what animal first comes to mind, 101 of them will all say "P!g" ...

Truly, the Rosie O'Donnell of Porsches .... and no, do NOT show that picture.

Uh, Larry is dead, so he doesn't post too much anymore.

Mary Kay is fighting tooth and nail, claiming the P!G is more appropriate for upscale cosmetics like Maybelline, Cover Girl, and Revlon.

And that pic better not involve Mo or Nique.

yes, I know, don't remind me.
However, he did live long enough to see the beginning and end of the infamous saga, triggered by THE across the table quote from PCNA....

"if you think that we're going to buy back this Cayenne because of a "!" Check Trailer Light, you're out of your mind"

My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I don't remember exactly how that turned out, but I do know that shortly after that quote, the Cayenne "disappeared"

Memo to PCNA....

Is it time to ask that this be referred to a higher source....The View?
