The set up ( email from mutual friend):
Hi M.J.,
Just a quick note to thank you again for a terrific weekend, you have a very
nice cottage. My M.J. and I really enjoyed our selves, thank you again for
the weekend.
On a different note, I was surfing e-bay last night. The reason is that I'm
thinking about listing my car this spring and I started looking at Porsche
cars for sale just for the fun of it. I stumbled across this one and it
made me laugh because it reminded me of what Mike is doing to your car!!
Maybe you just want to swing by your garage to make sure it isn't your car,
just kidding, but take a look.

Hope to see you soon,

work anymore... -
Tell me that this is a joke... and if it's not, my birthday gift
better be really, really nice... like something big with a lot a
horsepower - or something small with a lot of carats that sparkle!!!

Lessons learned:
1. Ebay does not have a delete button or an end auction now button.
2. To she( who must be obeyed) the term " Trackifying a car" does not mean: installing race seats, harness bar, belts, heel-toe pedal, pss9 s, sway bars,race tires, fire extinguisher, race cam, 3.8l p &c etc. Nor does it mean removing a.c., radio, door panels and any other flamable interior parts. It does mean installing a heavy turbo tail( thanks KnightRace). ( Have I mentioned yet that I do own half this car).
3. She would love to sell the car and buy a new 4s. What happened to joint track car idea?
4. I'm going to start selling my new revolutionary plastic buckets that will support a car! Pictures don't lie.
5. Sorry if I offended anyone.
6. My email box is in critical condition.
