It's still on that page. It just moved up a couple of places.

The car was at a DE event that I attended this past weekend. I didn't get the story on it, but figure somebody here must know the car since it has Pelican ads in at least 4 places....


edit:
Which leads me to ask; how does one become such an "ad-whore", and how much sponsor money is actually available to somebody who does DE events?? I can see that it is a target audience, but it is also a very limited audience. Anyone here in the advertising business??

I asked a local guy about that once..... he said he just put the stickers on there because it looked cool and was "fun". He had a 993 with Fikse wheels...totally track prepped. He actually did say the big "sponsor" who was a friend gave him $500 for the big stickers. But it was mostly fun. I'd do it to my car, but I wouldn't be able to drive it on the street.

I had to read that three times before I stopped saying jugs instead of mugs.

It appears that they are about to swallow. That's a good thing.

Usually the drinking happens BEFORE the pearl necklace.....
Clearly, she is on the "Bonus Round"

I can say one thing after being married to a German girl for 11 years and living in the country for almost 15 years, that swallowing is not a problem there...

And yes, its a very good thing!
