You just need a rear sway bar the diameter of a baseball....

Glad to see you back here.

Welcome back Z, any pics of the new toy? Also congrats on the MBA, I got mine a year ago. It’s a grind but hopefully worth it.

TAB's is still the Board's Oracle. He doesn't invoke MOTHER quite so often, and his prophecy has taken a definite doom and gloom turn, but he still stops by with some regularity.

The spoon threads remain a frequent topic, often curated by the inimitable Mr. Higgins, with helpful input from the Board's deep bench of resident scholars.

PARF has proven a blessing to the OT Board, although life is much less spicy here on the OT Board with the strict separation of the secular and religious boards. PARF has actually become more fun to visit and is now an easier place to have a reasonable debate or trade observations, after a purge of some of the worst offenders of the informal civility rule.

Much of the original PPOT crew has moved on, but if you watch a while you'll still see posts from Zeke, Superman, Paul and Paul, and you'll find the youngsters with less than a decade of experience on the Board are keeping the Brain Trust functioning up to speed and generally making PPOT a great place to be. You'll find that pool, mustangs, the rise and fall of the stock market and continuing signs of our impending doom remain well documented and debated with fun spirit.

Welcome back!

If you were paying attention to the MACRO economy you would be evacuating your bowels in your pants..

Tabs! Looking forward to your insights. How are the buffets these days?

Indeed the market has been problematic this year. But for opportunists, the downturns opened up some possibilities. Case in point, my "lockdown stocks" have yielded a 50% ROI since March. The unicorn in the bunch was KSS (Kohl's) at a 127% return.

But the market is certainly not for the faint of heart for sure...

Hard tops are lighter and stiffer. The Cayman is basically Porsche's first mid-engine hardtop. This configuration is potentially superior to all other platforms which are not mid-engine hardtops, in terms of performance.

Just when you think you've escaped, they pull you back in.

Welcome back, Poopy head.

Btw, nice rig.

And the convertible version is the boxster, which came out a long long time before the coupe version did.
Which is the exact opposite of what car manufacturers usually do.
Hence the irony.

Welcome back. Great looking car!
