Nice!

Don't let Chris' driveway become a graveyard for Porsche parts! Good luck with the diagnosis and repair!

We're pretty gung-ho about this, and Chris' managerial skills are kicking in.

my sambas go through a complete lifecycle from new and creaky going out shoes, to broken-in driving shoes, to floppy, work on the car shoes. i usually have one pair in each state.

feel free to bring beer over anytime.

Given the clowns involved in this threads inception, it's no surprise that it got derailed quickly.





Of course, it's hard for anybody to repeat the staying power of the Mulholland thread.

Here's a photo before this slips to OT...

Yeah, but what happens when no one's home and the beer gets warm sitting outside? I'm not going to be dropping off skunky beer to my friends. We do have some standards, around here.
