Looks nice, Joe. Whitewall tires...pimpin'!

RKDinOKC 02-07-2016 02:40 PM

Looks great. Have an overwhelming urge to put a chrome whip on the back with a skunk tail hanging on it. Maybe it's the rat rod look of the whitewalls. You have a gloss black or chrome half helmet right?

That would be hilarious!

Too bad my black 944 Turbo died of bad mechanics. After the motor my next step was to repaint with flames and skull and cross bones. Was planning to change all the interior lights out to red LEDs, put a big white skull and cross bones on the doors, and I even found an amp to put the back that was a big skull and cross bones, and a skull shifter knob.

Here is some flames I put on with temporary paint...I like it.

Did the same with my 928 with some temporary protective bra paint...

I can't care less about a game played with a ball by genetic mutant men. It is a special game for hoopla. It made my wife cook something. That is special right there.

Dar gosh it. Tried to watch for the commercials. Fell asleep during the game and just woke up. Even missed the half time fiasco.

The only singing that comes out okay in a stadium is the Star Spangled Banner.

Saw them flip a very nice stock 78 Harley Sportster on Counting Cars. Turned it into a hard tail, bigger front wheel, raised handlebars, new headlight, sprung seat, and a teardrop tank. Painted it metallic silver. Sold it for $11K with the option to have it painted by their paint guy. Joe's looks much much better!

HHI944 02-07-2016 07:11 PM

The looks of this one are what sold it for me. I looked at a few that were, technically, better bikes but had been 'customized' way past my liking.

RKDinOKC 02-08-2016 04:42 AM

Understand completely, That's why I got the 928 GTS.

GH85Carrera 02-08-2016 05:14 AM

Good Monday morning everyone.

It looks like everyone too the weekend off. Not much activity.

Jim Richards 02-08-2016 05:37 AM

I'm still here. So is Monday.

We're heading off to Spain later this week. Only my second time to Europe, not counting the trips I used to make to Israel for work. Then, it was only an airport layover in Frankfurt between flights. We're going to spend a bit over two weeks in Spain. I'm still cramming Spanish into my head so I can string together a few words as needed.

porsche4life 02-08-2016 06:24 AM

Uno mas cerveza por favor!


Only Spanish you need to know.


Donde esta el bano is handy too!

Jim Richards 02-08-2016 06:38 AM

iGracias!

The are trying to use BOTH online accounts at the same time so our sales people can use CRM. It is going to cause major problems. it makes so much sense to keep it as simple as possible. Move everyone back to the on-premisis server, kill the current on-line account and be done. Don't then setup the other online server and move those using CRM first. By my estimation we will have had everyone moved in the time it will take to just setup everything for using both at the same time, And without any of the headache. Man our myoptic IT director needs to wake up.

Fixed it for you.

Joe, nice bike. They aren't terrible loud with stock or close to stock performance (Screaming Eagle) pipes. Some guys have pipes on them that make them blat like a sheep that just met a Viking. Yours looks classic.

I had beans once. The cafeteria monitor made me eat them when I was in 8th grade. 5 minutes later they were all over the cafeteria floor. She never made me eat them again.

Jim, have fun in Spain.

Morning all. Spent the weekend playing limo driver for my youngest going back and forth to his play. That and watching it 3 times.

RKDinOKC 02-08-2016 08:36 AM

Looks like I get Cadillac surgery in a couple weeks.

Would you rather need glasses to drive or read?

GH85Carrera 02-08-2016 08:58 AM

Do you read a lot? Likely mostly on a computer would be my guess. Since you wear sunglasses just get prescription sunglasses and prescription glasses to drive at night.

RKDinOKC 02-08-2016 09:14 AM

Am near sighted. Wear my glasses when I go outside and/or to see far away ie drive. Currently have glasses with flip down sunglasses for driving and basically seeing outdoors. I take them off indoors and to read. Said they could change my eyes by putting the prescription in the replacement lenses for the cadillac surgery. Said I could change my eyes so I could se fine at distance that I use my glasses for now, and would need glasses to read.

GH85Carrera 02-08-2016 10:33 AM

My wife had lens replacement surgery. She did not have cataracts so it was all out of pocket expense. She only puts on glasses to see very small stuff. She can read her iPad and see distance things fine.

It was expensive but she was able to dump her contacts and loves being able to see.

flipper35 02-08-2016 10:44 AM

I would rather need them to read, but so far i get by without when wearing my contacts. I hate glasses so take that into account. Glasses get in the way of sports and they get full of crap when working on the cars and I can't see as fine with glasses as well as contacts.

Since you already wear them for driving and such, I would think you would be happier that way.
