Pretty cool 918 - (segment begins at 2:15 mark).

Nah, I'm old enough to be his dad.

That webpage was pretty strange.
-I opened it in a new window and paused while the video loaded(sure at $80/month Verizon can call it "high speed" if they want).
-The sound(advertisements) started playing automatically while the video loaded.
-Then I pressed the video play button, and several audio tracks(sounded like advertisements) played simultaneously.
-I closed the YouTube window.
-No need to bother with that crap.
-The double YouTube audio advertisements continued to play for half a minute, even with that window closed.
-The sounds finally stopped when I blocked all scripts, and refreshed the Pelican Parts page.

That's YouTube. We've had some odd glitches over the last week or so -- most related to them not displaying our current content in the top window. But playing 2 ads simultaneously is inexcusable.

From what I briefly saw it looked like a good show.
The 918 was/is the quintessential super car. Wish more was done with it.

There's a little more Porsche news in tomorrow's show. In fact, all week, there has been Porsche news starting with the revelation over the weekend that Porsche is (again) abandoning plans for an entry level model.
