It may not bring happiness, but it sure allows you to choose your misery....

It may not bring happiness, but crying in a Porsche sure beats crying in a Pinto....

It may not bring happiness, but it brings real estate, luxury cars, fine women and loooong vacations, so that at least is some compensation....



SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!

The plight of the poor is their lack of money.

Happiness is artificial. Absence of misery leaves you feeling content. No more. For happiness you need drugs. Trust me, I am a doctor.

Too much volcanic ash in your cornflakes, Markus?

Happiness is the absence of unhappiness, in spite of a lack of drugs.

Ya got that right Jim. Attitude is a large part of happiness. Don't dwell on the negative things you have no control over. Pay attention to the good things that you can control.

The only drug I use is beer!

yep a 44, german made swiss autowinder exhibition back. Number 94 of 100 limited Edition Porsche 928 watch and my 928 is a 1994. Both the white and the red glow in the dark. I designed and did the artwork for the face and hands.

Yes , I am blessed with hair everywhere except my palms, bottom of my feet, and top of my head.

any suggestions on suspension for my 944. i promise to follow your advice on this one. at the least, the new chips are fun for now.

i am looking to autocross and track my car. i drive it on the road as well, but harshness doesn't matter to me.

Mild setup:
250 front springs w/ ground control coilovers, lowered 1". M030 sized front arb with an adjustable rear arb. reindex stock torsion bar to lower rear 1". Bilstein or koni's all around.

Hardcore setup:
400 front springs with 28mm rear torsion bars, lowered 1.25" all around. m030 bars. re-valved bilsteins all around. poly bushings are a must here.

alternative to hardcore: keep stock rear torsion bar and add a coilover kit to the rear with a 100lb helper spring.
