Look at posts #26 and #29 and you'll see Jim being an azzhole. He brought it on himself.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

And, I repeat... you should be addressing your remarks to the guy who was originally spoiling for a fight.

Also... I am very disturbed that you have chosen not to close your post with the usual "Best, Tom."

Yawn, the new Mustang will smoke a lot of the Porsches made, then you can turn your lease in and get something else. How are those 928/944 resale values doing?

Just read this.

You guys are far too hard on Paul. He has paid his Porsche dues.

He's absolutely right to remind us from time to time that there is life outside of the Porsche universe, and that we shouldn't be quite so far up our collective bums about this whole Porsche thing. Even though this is a Porsche board. This is OT after all.

That green Bullitt of his is one hell of a car.

And if he could somehow swap his engine for the new aluminum 5.0 liter that car would be more fun that a barrel full of lesbians—and certainly more fun than many of the cars owned by the Pelican faithful. Perhaps it already is.

If there is a lesson here, I think it's this: never ever fall into the Q-Tip and toothbrush trap. If someone says "concours" to you, turn and run the other way. Enjoy these cars, drive the crap out of them and put them away wet.

Oh dang, Paul? If I smarted off and offended you, let me apologize right now. I hope you do realize I'm a very open minded fan of American Iron. Hell, I put a lump in a Jaguar and have a picture of myself with Carroll Shelby (taken when I was about two years old)....

Just teasing Paul - like you, like the car - love the drivetrain.

I like Paul, and typically enjoy his posts. But the Mustang nonsense is wearing a little thin. Believe it or not, the answer to every car discussion isn't a Bullitt Mustang. This is coming from someone that has owned and enjoyed a variety of cars, and would happily buy a supercharged Cobra if I could find one that hasn't been trashed.

This is Off Topic. Until now, I was pretty sure Mustangs were non controversial, fun cars.

Perhaps the title was misleading ? Oh sure, it's all fun and games - until it's you in the spot light.
