So, a Priest, Rabbi, and Minister walk into a bar. The bartender walks up and says, "What is this, some kind of joke?"

I wouldn't be surprised if buyers of new Porsches are also overly serious with a limited sense of humor.

SInce this has gotten so much "technical" interest... here is more of the quote:
The “Porsche image” is “serious. The driver will take himself and his car … damned seriously…. [He] will have no more than a limited sense of humor. Especially concerning Porsches. … slightly insecure … likely to be possession-proud. A car for the technician, rather than the engineer, if you get the distinction.” -- Road & Track, June 1969, p. 58, from a comparison test of the Porsche 911T, Corvette, Jaguar E-type and Mercedes 280SL “Four Luxury GTs.” The other makes’ owners were characterized as follows: Jaguar E-type: Class, Dignity, owner is sophisticated in his tastes, one that swings, but with dignity, probably doesn’t know much about engineering Corvette: Plastic, flashy, lots of eye-catching angles and gimmicks; personality of owner is “the Animal” Mercedes 280SL: Square, even dull and... "Judging by the car you have chosen, you are motorist of a special breed…." – from 911 Owner’s Manual BTW, apparently I can't fix the spelling error in the title of this thread via the edit button(?) IT just galls the perfectionist in me.... |

How the He11 did they ever let me in the door.....and that explains alot about my problems with that certain unmentionable Gruppe ......a guy with a stick up his a$$ has more of a sense of humor than they do, and sophistication...LOL the monkeys in the zoo throwing ***** at people have more sophistication than the Gruppe does...
