That’s a good point. I kept expecting to see them in the first scene of the movie when Tommy is being shot at.

I was a little disappointed with the way Nolan approached the movie. Preferring to leave us with a slightly disjointed story that doesn’t give you the sort of satisfaction you would expect from a situation that went so decidedly in the Allies favor. But it was beautifully shot, and seeing the events that I had…

It’s not super uplifting even though it could be. It’s a brutally honest depiction of the events that occurred. You won’t likely leave the theater feeling happy.

Hmmmm. I’m pretty sure German and Jerry were both used. I saw it Saturday so I’m not certain but they had to have said German’s just based on some of the scenarios.

The Stuka sirens were exactly as I pictured them while reading the many books about WWII I’ve plowed through over the years. I thought it was a great movie, but not a great story. The cinematography was unreal, and the stories they told were awesome. But it was hard to follow and not cohesive enough to be a…

Its amazing the number of Chinese that the Japanese killed. That’s often overlooked.

Yes. But had they lost to the invading German armies, Hitler would have been able to free up troops from the Eastern front and shift them to meet the invading Allies in France.

Yes, very accurate assessment. I think the scope of the German armies involved in Operation Barbarossa alone would have been enough to send shivers through the spine of Eisenhower... upwards of 3 million men!

Damn... was hoping for an employee discount.

Ha... some car. Personally for me it’s a 993 Turbo or a 997 RS 4.0. But if you like purple, Porsche of North Houston will have a PTS (paint to sample) 997 RS in purple in the next few weeks. No graphics on it.

Some left handed folks actually prefer it on the right wrist. Gets in the way when you’re writing. Panerai actually makes LH and RH versions of the Luminor Marina watches.

Loved that game. Always wondered why they only included a base 911 in it, instead of the Turbo, but either way. Loooooved that game.

Saw a red one back in ‘95 or so. It was pulling out of an apartment complex (go figure) in Charlotte NC. The presence the car had was unreal. Nothing since with the exception of the Veyron, has had me that floored at first sight. Give me a Diablo all day over a Veyron though.

Really dude? It looks like the truck is partially blocking his driveway. Okay, yeah I’d be pissed. But it’s a simple fix. Go ask the AT&T guys to move so you can leave your driveway. If they refuse, you call the cops. Simple.

I mean, I can’t honestly say I’m suprised. But it seems to be alot worse than I expected.

Personally, I’ve never had that experience at a Ferrari dealer. I’ve visited several and never found the people to be anything to be but engaging and friendly. Pricing was up front with no questions asked and they were always pushing me to test drive one. Last time I was at Ferrari of New England, they even gave me…

In fairness, not everyone is after performance. Some just want to cruise.

Yeah but you don’t compare an engine like that to modern ones. You compare it to engines from that time. And this one was light years ahead of the competition. I agree with the rest of the crowd, this guy is nuts saying this car is restored. The interior is junk to be using this word. I’d NP this one at maybe…

Yup. Not sure if he still has the Mazda dealer, but he owns Porsche of Fresno, BMW of Fresno, and McLaren of Scottsdale. He’s a very active contributor to the rennlist.com web forums and honestly his knowledge of Porsches and all sports cars is top notch. Really cool guy.

That’s not a Lambo, that’s a Veyron. That’s the idiot in TX who tried to fake crash his car to collect the insurance.
