If you touched on this and I missed it I apologize, but is it possible that some of the bigger names resent the potential for these $15,000 sponsorships to devalue all of the sponsorships?

Do people forget about Vietnam?

Aaaaaahahahahahahahaha. Doubling down on the stupid now? Suddenly the legal definition isn’t good enough because you’ve “never heard anyone” use that term?

Nitpicking the semantics of machine gun vs automatic pistol shows you have no real point.

Wrong hill to die on buddy.

Standard connotation for a gun that fires multiple bullets with a single trigger pull is ‘machine gun’ for people that aren’t big into guns, no matter the shape of the gun. 

If you have to borrow money to buy a Boxster, my friend you do not have enough money to own a Boxster.

Sometimes, those people are right. This is one of those times.

I’m the farthest thing from a “pay cash for everything” guy, but even I run into my limits at “How can I get a loan of over 100% of book value for a 25 year old Honda?”

I’m normally a fan of red or black cars. However, in the very unlikely event that I’m ever in the position to order a new Porsche, I would have to pick the most eye-searingly joyful colour in the catalogue. My brother has a penchant for Rubystone red, so it may be a genetic failing.

My local dealer has 2 Taycans.

Heh. I have two ‘local’ dealers. One has 27 Taycans in stock. One is blue, the rest are as you describe. The other has 18 but a little actual variety. Carmine Red, Neptune Blue, Chalk (OK, a gray tone but still stands out IMHO), Cherry Metallic, Gentian Blue, and Coffee Beige (!!).

Our dealer thankfully just got in a Taycan in that new icy blue and they already had a green one. But yeah, the vast majority of the lot is just black and white.

I’ve seen 3 Taycans on the street so far and they’ve all had pretty interesting colors.

Unless your local dealer is gigantic, they will be lucky to have one in inventory, and yes, it will be some boring color, because Americans suck. The rest will get ordered to taste. And Porsche will paint it any color you can afford.

It’s Porsche. They’ll let you order one. It’s likely going to set you back over $100k, might as well get what you want. If you want to make an event of it, go pick it up in Germany. 

Porsche is killing it with colors lately...

I agree with him. I’d be happy if 90% of car salesmen were out of that particular job. 

Don’t forget The Poop Knife!

Thanks, but I haven’t had any issues with it (outside of people hitting it). It’s gone to Miami and back, up into Kentucky (when I was thinking of moving up there, changed my mind real quick on that) and doing gig work around where I live. It’s almost paid off and until I can get into a EV or another hybrid, I’ll
