I have been kind of toying around with the idea of letting the Boxster go, I really don't like convertables, but what do I replace it with? 996's look very attractive for this. Since it is a daily I don't need an S or a C4, just a plain Jane one will do. I am figuring if I sell the Boxster for 5K that will be a third of the price of a 996, a very attractive thought

Will be interesting to see the egg hunt at my brothers today. Someone gave him a whole bunch of Goose Eggs. Brother will have 14 of 20 grandkids there to hunt eggs.

Can't eat eggs right now. Have a horrible acid reflux problem. Taking double doses of Nexium just to get normal indigestion. Eat anything like eggs I start burping sulphur.

Lunch is at 4pm. Wonder if it will be Ham, Lamb, or maybe Goose. Brother's friend has declared war on the Geese nesting on a small island in his pond. That's where all the eggs come from.

Nice BMW Rick.

My best friend had a 97 M3 but rolled it into and over a telephone pole in front of me the 2nd weekend I had the SC. We were driving the back roads near our hometown when he took a 90 degree corner a bit too fast(I think). It was totalled but he bought another one with the insurance $. He was unhurt but for a sore thumb. His wife was pi$$ed for a long time. She might still be...they divorced late last year.

Winter has breathed it's last breath here, we are in the clear, I can tell because my hands don't bother me as much.
I know you love your farm Pets and from the pictures I understand why, but there is no way I could ever live there, I would go full on psycho. Va winter is bad enough and it seems to get longer every year, I am not too sure how many more I have left in me. Cold is painful

NW Ohio is about the same, we had a few nice days, then back below freezing. As I get older, I get less tolerant of the cold weather, and can spend less time outdoors tending to my farm before I have to come in and run warm water over my hands to get the circulation and feeling back.

Hopefully another 10 years of work, then I can retire and take a 3 month trip South every year in the camper, starting about the first week of January.

Well, the main reason I didn't sell the 928 was I didn't have anything else in the $70K range I wanted.

The 928 enthusiast on rennlist have lost it. There are nice 928's being advertised for higher prices and these guys post the ads, cut the condition down, and say those people are either crazy or dreaming...then the car sells for that dream price. This is even after others post media commentary about how the 928 is going up as they are starting to be valued by collectors. Seems most of the enthusiast are behind and valuing their cars from about 3 years ago. I can understand the media commentary after seeing the comments of enthusiast owners saying the asking prices are much too high. Can't really complain as those guys are probably why that guy didn't give me my crazy price of $80K.

I'm glad I'm not one of those vegetarian type religions.
