This will all become very clear.

I've lurked/perused/chuckled-through a few 911/930/944/951/964/968/993/996 sites (Whew! Did I leave any out?), some sites which are visited by a few individuals here, and others I happened to bump into just doing a nosey search.

Noticed I bolded a few bloodlines. Now, is there some sort-of "anal vision" that I've suddenly inherited, or have I noticed a tendancy for some 911-type owners (very few I've seen that don't) that absolutely FEEL the need to rattle off the entire "additional" (i.e. aftermarket) options off the window sticker? The only thing usually left out is the price; guess we don't want to open that anal port TOO wide.

Here's a classic example (bite me if you recognize any of these): Gemballa Aerodynamics, Europipe Stage II Loud, AVS 315/25/19 Rears, AVS 235/35/19 Fronts, Semi-Solid Forged SSR-GT3's, Bilstein PSS-9 Adjustable Coilovers, Bailey Diverter Valves, Tequipment Rollbar

God, let me stop. I know most of you have commented on the "gold chain" set, but am I exagerating here? Heck, I was hoping to own a Boxster S, or maybe even a 993, sometime in my life, but will I have to resort to THIS kind of wallet-waving? Feel free to comment, PLEASE!
