friend comes to me this morning and wants to know where he could get a good deal on a Porsh. i explain the whole "if you buy one, you have to learn how to say it in 2 syllables" thing. he laughs, but all he really wants is a boxster. So i found him a 97 with 18k miles for $22,500. then i'm wondering why i didn't just buy one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) (oh ya, i have a one year old. and my wife made me buy the MB)
this is the second time this month somebody asks me for advice on buying a PORSH. the other guy bought a '02 cabriolet with 8k miles on it. i guess i am just venting cause i am a little jealous. oh well....... at least i know how to pronounce porsche. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

I bought my 914 and was chatting it up at work, telling some co-workers about it and showing some pictures.
2 hours later the general manager of the plant walked by, and asked me to help him with a problem his OBC was having in his 996. I gave it a look, but there sure is alot of difference between a 914 and a 996. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

At least you can afford a new Porsche. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) But I guess being able to afford one and still not being able to buy one is more painful than not being able to afford one in the first place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif)
I still have to figure out how to budget the resto. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif) (that's me) I drive a two-seat roadster and the rest of the world just has to deal with it. (Oops, gotta go... Yes Dear; coming Dear...) -Ben M. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) and that's a convertible........just not a roadster. |

My 7yo son loves the 914. He even falls asleep in it while driving with the top off and all the noise. Lucky him. Only time I can fall asleep in a car is when I'm at the wheel. If I switch with a passenger and try to sleep, I'm wide awake. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
