Lol, Larry. Well, actually, the sippy cup would be a more sealed system.

I'm too lazy to snap a picture of mine, but I have the same thing on my 996.

I just saw this. I tossed a molotav cocktail into the starbucks thread just for grins. Just love stirring up the latte-drinking-key-fob-obsessing-rolex-wearing Porsche drivers. Oh, for the days of vinyl seats, no power windows or mirrors, and the smell of oil and gasoline mixing together in an engine that you could never get in perfect tune, in a car that was always on the edge of bitch-slapping you off the road backwards if you didn't give it 100% of your attention.

Greg, I know you must be talking about early 911s. No British Leyland product ran long enough to get up enough speed to bitch-slap anyone. But you did have to give them 100% of your attention just to get the Lucas electrics working.

Greg, that was no molitov cocktail. Check out the tidbit of paranoia that I planted. Hopefully it will grow like a rabid weed!

LOL! Very true about British cars! If you didn't give them 100% of your attention, they'd bitch slap you off the road from the loose-wandering-worm-gear steering. But they definitely left you reeking of oil and gasoline when you arrived. Everyone used to know when I had driven the TR6 to work from the aroma.

Larry, you definitely took it up a notch!

Dammit . . . you guys made me go and look through the thread again just to see the beauty of wit and sarcasm at work. It was worth it. I take it the guy wondering where Carjackistan is wasn't serious about where it is? Gawd, I hope so.

VR's last post "Is that code for..."

I guess I don't get it, the guy doesn't want to spill coffee in his car, so he put a cover on the cup. Calling that gay is nothing but macho ego inflation.

Dan, when I go for Starbucks I don't need to take the Porsche so that I can impress people. I take this:



because it has these:



Yeah, BF cup holders that don't need any BS nonsense to bring the coffee home. I don't care who is impressed, I just want to get the damned coffee home, see?


I have to admit though that some of the local guys in pickem' ups do get excited!
