Mikkel, I agree. We should change the order around in dates. I wouldn't mind the metric system either. But I digress....

I was a Porsche newbie when Sept. 11 happened. On that day my car fetish suddenly did not seem too important anymore. Two days later I had to drive into the office and sat in parking-lot-like traffic on the hwy. because the Pentagon had started checking ID's on every single car that went into their lot. I live 12 miles south of the Pentagon and traffic was backed up well south of my house. We could still see the smoke then too.

Today, while driving to the Metro station I was racking my brain, trying to remember what I had done on Sept. 10, 2001 or even what the train ride into work was like the next morning. But I could not. That was a different era and is gone forever.
