Boom. Boom. Double tap.

While that's a good point, I'm really particular about keeping my cars clean. I rarely even drive in the rain. Can you imagine cleaning *THAT* off the undercarriage? Yuuuck. But, in all seriousness, I do acknowledge your valid point.

Who knows? Car owners have all kinds of reasons, some of which make sense (financial situation changed and left no option) some don't ("new" 911 came out, wanted one, no matter what).

Contrary to many of the snarky "Texas" posts that are thrown about so carelessly here, this lady embodies everything that it is to be a Texan. She makes me proud to be a Texan. Godspeed and best wishes. She will definitely be in my thoughts.

Blah blah blah. Not here to dispute the effectiveness of having a CCW. Although, I would say, if he had a gun, well I'd much rather have one, than not. Other than that, have a great day. You live your life in the way that makes you happy and I'll do the same. And I truly do hope neither of us is ever in this…

...annnnd here come the veiled insults. Handing out CCW's to the most "irrational of people". You obviously didn't read any of the other posts or my replies in this thread. But, just for your edification, I don't load any of my weapons with armor piercing rounds. lol Jacketed hollow points are quite adept at…

I'm not sure about how I'd feel about it either, as thankfully the situation has never presented itself. All I can say is that I practice regularly (in Texas, guns as a hobby is almost mandatory (queue Texas jokes here..lol).

I'm going to post this here and it may quite possibly be very unpopular and I have zero fucks to give in that case otherwise I wouldn't be posting it.

maybe a fuckton is metric, but I think it's in the 3200lb range. I'd have to google it. Lol. My ONLY point was hp is cheap these days and everyone has it by the boatload. I'd you're reading more than that into what I said, you're putting too much thought into it.

PS - And I did LOVE my Gen 1 Viper. The best thing about that car? My wife who is 5'0" on her BEST day, if she stands up reallllllly straight, actually couldn't reach the pedals in that Viper. She has no problem driving a stick, but the combination of steering wheel, seat and pedal placement combined where she…

Yeah, trust me, I get that. lol It's just pretty incredible that 300 or 400 hp these days doesn't really get anyone's attention. 300hp is Accord territory. lol My M-I-L's little V6 crossover puts out like 317 hp. Anyway, if you wanna be a contender (to steal a phrase), if you're not bringing 5 or 600 hp (to begin)…

That is simply freakin' amazing to me. I know I'm older than some of the guys that post here regularly but back in the 90's I bought a first gen Viper right after they came out and it had FOUR HUNDRED HORSEPOWER! EEEEK!!! HIDE UR WOMENZ AND CHILDRENZ!!! INSANITY! STOP THE MADNESS!!!

No no no, I didn't take it like that man. I'm just messing around. I actually got what I thought was a pretty smokin' deal on it BECAUSE it was a 997 and I was great with that. Like you said, I love the 997 for several reasons. Anyway, here's the breakdown off the original window sticker.

A Countach and Farrah Fawcet.

Oh trust me, I want to say there is nothing "interesting" about Aransas Pass. But, in the same breath, how can that be true when you make the National News because a monkey attacks a rookie cop on a routine traffic stop. As police officers say, there's no such thing as a "routine" traffic stop. Well, when you add…

Amazingly enough (It really IS a small world), that's the little podunk Texas town where I was born 'n raised. *groans* Oh, and it's Aransas Pass, Texas. #correction

Oh don't everyone get their knickers in a twist (see what I did there?). I loves me some Monty Python. 'Tis nothing but a flesh wound...

That's odd. If you don't mind me asking, what market were you looking in? As in, I was shopping Houston/Dallas Porsche dealers and they seem to like that $100k mark. lol

British humor is decidedly, umm, British. For reference, see: Benny Hill.

Awww, keeping people out of "the club". Well, isn't that the elitist dream. lol It's a nice thought, but all I care about is will it make the car faster? Yes, it will. I don't care how much boy-racer has built up his skill set in his mind, the current PDK can shift faster than him. Period.
