Troll status- confirmed

notfarnow · 08-29-2005, 04:43 PM

Well, looks like I really am a troll. When I first started hanging around here a year or so ago, my plan was to soak up as much knowledge as possible (not in OT

) before buying a 911. My plan & budget was to put me in a decent, if scruffy, SC for about 11k. I was supposed to be in the market right about NOW.

However, my new bride is going back to school... putting a significant pinch on the Porsche savings fund. Nothing is coming out of the fund, but nothing will be going in for another year or so.

So... gone are my hopes of getting a nice (if well used) 911 and driving it back, breaking down along the way and having to call on Pelicans to point out that I overfilled the oil.

In the meantime, I'm going to put some effort into my dinky sailboat... I have to get a decent trailer for it and finish the interior. As long as I have a project or two I should be ok.

Look up troll in the dictionary and you'll find the likes of Mulhollandaise, not 'notfarnow.'

You at least have an interest in Porsches. And some day you'll own one. In the meantime, hang around. You're still one of us in spirit.

BTW, in the 60s, there used to be a billboard with a picture of a VW Beetle with the headline: How to save up for a Porsche.

I finally got the Porsche I have always wanted and I am 40. My father worked on porsches in the 60's so I grew up with them. It just makes it all the more sweeter when you finally get one.

Is this why they call women "Dream Killers"?

Not in this case... a year ago we had to buy a car, and we were leaning towards a 2001 VW TDI. When we looked at the numbers she asked, "Well, how will you be able to save for a Porsche?". She suggested we buy an older car so we could save for a 911.

like my ol man would often say, "sometimes the want is far better than the have...".

Stay on course my man, it will happen. Until then, I will be in 'New Scotland' the end of Sept. Let us drink long and tell plenty of lies!
