A little bit of ground clearance makes for faster and more comfortable speeds on them bumpy roads..
Hell, Bf1 was not lowered and i still managed to beat up the suspension arms to the point where they weren't able to get it perfectly aligned again...

I also have a bad habit of not slowing down for speed bumps.. lowered cars would not last a year with me.

My old E36 was just a tick too low but it handled great. I did have to add some protection to the underside. The kids wagon doesn't see daily service, he has 2 other wagons. He loves those old Volvo's. this spring if his money is right we are going to drop a V8 into an old 240 sedan.

Okay off to work, oh goodie

I could not find a reason not to post it, so...
And besides, I didn't make you click on it. Even told you I needed eyebleach, and still you clicked.

later dude.

Hey, I just bought a copy of that poster.

If you're interested, Sid, I have a friend who's willing to sell one. Think his is in black, though.

Porsche ran that as an advertisment in AutoWeek back when it was a weekly pulp magazine. I have that ad mounted in my garage, right from AutoWeek. It is amazing to me that I have been a subscriber to Autoweek since before 1983. :eek: I used to have it on my office wall at my old job.

Always liked this one

Might as well say it out loud now Glen. You're an old fart! :D:D:D

Good morning fellas.

Rick, one other bit of mental torture you can inflict on possil is to use that as his name anytime you need to speak his name or refer to him any any way. Be sure to call him possil to his face.

I have that on on my garage wall as well. Porsche sent me that poster with the license tag as my last name. It was an enticement to come into the dealer to test drive one. I was smart enough to not drive one. I could have never afforded it new. :cool:

morning all. Tis a Tuesday and cold out.

well, someone said blizzard. we have a surprise blizzard this morning.

good morning!

A car or a poster? I might could afford the poster, I know I can't afford the car...

Morning guys....

As his final trick, mr dick management teacher had given us a study guide, and said this is what the test will be over.....


Well he was partially right, the first 50 questions of the test were over that material. The last 45 were comprehensive. :mad:

oh, i remember some professors like that. there is always the survey to look forward to.

That was just an evil drive back home from Brussels.
1.5 hours in the rain and i was stuck in traffic for half an hour.

Glad i don't have to do it everyday, else i'de get arrested before the end of the month.

my thumb got in the way....

Busy with a new account gross value of the contract is twice my mortgage and we need a handover of security credentials.
No biggie, if it weren't for the fact that those who have to give it to us, are competitors and our sales guy basically told em to give the credentials and go F themselves.

Now we are 2 days to the deadline and sales guy asks me for custom whitepaper , a security impact analysis of what we can do in the customers network with that security account. To argue why we should get the credentials..

Never mind the fact that the competitor is still in charge of certain high level aspects of email and security, and i'm not in any way a specialist of the email platform but simply the mobile devices guy...
They are a company 100 times bigger then we are, a bigger knowledge pool, they have specialists for mail and security and they are p1ssed off at us because of our sales guy..
The customer is a bank, yeah, a bank.. So you can bet your bottom dollar that they will have security ners, geeks & goons on standby to pick my bones clean in this debate.

So either i produce a document that is spot on and basically is full of arguments why they should not give us the account.

Or i produce a crappy document which the competitor will happily as ammo to show we are incompetent..

Just escalated it to my senior mgmt, and told em that i don't appreciate being given the task of sorting out a lose-lose situation, created by our sales...

While i do understand his stress levels on the grounds that he'll lose a big commission if this falls through and i do understand the impact on our companies cash flow if we don't get this deal.../

...simple fact is, our sales guy shot himself in our collective foot and i really don't know what i can do on a technical level, that won't make it worse..
I can do a lot of things, but i cannot build goodwill with white papers if the competitor has vowed make every possible effort to make our lives miserable.
And if i were in their place, i'de do the same..

Hell, i love those kind of situations myself, there is nothing more fun then a good fight when you know the other guy will be outnumbered , outgunned and uninformed of his predicament.


Well, i'm not uninformed, so you can bet your ass i'm not going to the fight,
I wasn't born a coward, but i definitely wasn't born stupid either.

sounds fun. keep us posted!
