uh...the level of automation in Zuffenhausen is about the same now as it was in the 993 days. The 997.2 is still one of the most hand built sports cars on the planet. Trust me on this.

Doesn't take much to get the waterboys' panties in a knot, does it?

Heh, I'm here all week, try the steak, the veal's crap.

Alex nice new pic. I feel like crying again....

My cup holders suck and don't work well so does that make my car a real Porsche?

Yeah, but my "Camry" is a little more high-tech than a 1962 beetle...and the heat works too!

This story reminds me ... getting gas the other day, two young women continuously circling their car like they were looking for something. After pumping my gas I went over and asked if I could help - said they knew where the gas went in but couldn't find the "hole"' where they put in the w/s washer fluid
