Question

let me get this right... I went from the joy of beating the hell out of people (Camaro), to having no credit (Civic CRX), to being a lemming (Accord).
Then after college it was on to owning the buick of sports cars (Integra GSR), and finally ending up with a 3" thingy (911). Hmm, my life doesn't seem to be turning out the way I'd planned it :-)

That's a pretty funny list, I remember seeing it years ago.

(I think, though, that when people post things that they didn't write, they should make it clear that they didn't write it, but that they are just cutting and pasting it from somewhere else. But that's just me).

9eleven... I couldn't agree more with your comment about taking credit for content not originally created by the poster. However, in this case, I think Shaun is just having a slow day and did not imply that he was in fact the creator.

This topic has spent most of it's day over on the 944 board where we (myself and a few others) have become tired of it as the postings quickly degraded after a 911 member began to shift the content direction.

Thumbs up

Truth is stranger than fiction. A good friend of mine living in San Diego wanted me to see his new Jaguar. I made three business trips there during the course of a year and his car was in the shop each time I happened to be there. Finally, on that third trip, we drove down to the shop and he pointed out his Jag to me on a lift. It did look nice though.

Must be those British cars. I bought the Shadow in March and until this week no one's seen it actually moving :-) Now that I've got it mechanically up to snuff, I get to enjoy it for a week before it goes to the painter, when it will disappear for two more months.

Hey, I object to the 911 turbo comment...

Good thing I have a 930, NOT a 911 turbo...

For the record, and the second time in a month, the "Lucas" joke, but anyhow, they don't make 'fridges, but funnily, and I'm not sure if they do in the US, but Bosche do! And other domestic appliances!
