As you all noted, there are some details from Porsche that you can see with the naked eye. The front with fog lights and turn signals, "cup" wheels (summer), "Design 90" wheels (winter), brake calibers, exernal mirror, prismatic rear panel, etc. If you look under the hood it says "Powered by Porsche" on the intake manifold.

I have not seen anything "pretty" yet...lots of "cool" and plenty of "kickass"...but no pretty.

So I will share mine to show what "pretty" is.....

Surprised how many of us are also BMW loyalists.

I use Avistar mostly--it integrates into Microsoft OCS and is HD/Telepresence to the desktop. I also have a LifeSize Passport that is an HD stand alone video unit that I have hooked up to a 32" 1080p LCD--the quality is incredible, similar to the picture which is a Tandberg/Cisco solution.

Skype is cool---they are doing some great things....and its getting better and I use it for mostly personal use.

My quality of life has went up drastically over the past 14 years working from home and not having to deal with a commute. I used to just cringe when I lived in the Bay dealing with commuting. It was nearly 2hrs of my day flushed down the toilet.

My DD Brabus R500, not the prettiest but not bad for a 7 seater van.

I'm also an Avant guy. B6 USP Avant before the R. If I don't need the extra space, there will be another Avant in my garage for sure, I just love this things!
