Thanks Randy, I was having a REALLY crappy day, and that really helped my focus. I needed that.

Does anyone else sort of feel a connection to Dr. Porsche, like he's some sort of step Grandfather or something?

That's a great ad, one of many great Porsche commercial spots and print ads from the 1980s. They weren't afraid of setting the bar really high for themselves and everyone else, and not being apologetic about it at all.....

"high performance driving should not be attempted by non-professionals" WTF?

Man with an avatar like that who the hell can have a crappy day :D

I'm tellin' ya, people will find the smallest thing to pick on and then frikken DWELL on it........

Believe me, I really needed that pick-me-up, in spite of the avatar. :)

...but now that you mention it, it does make me smile...

Zonas, your avatar is strangely hypnotic and calming

I can't keep my eyes off it - what was this thread about?

The avatar: Unique, yet so universal everyone can appreciate it.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming...
