Porsche's, I love em, have always loved em, have always wanted one, I'm thinking it's close to being time. But to my eye there's 2 colors for a 911; red and ugly. That classification works for most sporty cars though, including, although I hate to admit it, the C6 Vette. There's something about that car, I dunno what. But it stops my heart for a sec everytime I see one, so what can I do ?

You mean Arrest Me Red? Nowadays i prefer macadam tones-sometimes it'll give me an extra seconds grace before the radar switches on!

That's the color, but it sure looked like dumpster green to me. Great ashfault jungle camo. That old 2.0 was the best handling car I ever drove. I have a place in the pocono's and it's surrounded by twisty roads (Rt's 447, 191) man was that car fun on those roads! Maybe someday I'll find another one. I still have the plans I bought to shoehorn a chevy 350 in one of those things.

See Ya

Once upon a time I bought a BMW 2002Tii that was a serious twist n turn machine. Had it in Germany where I got to explore all it's capabilities legaly. Wished I still had the machine cuz a good one goes for around $30K. OK at 50 I guess my perspective is slightly skewed but it still blows my mind that this 25 foot long 4 ton 8 foot tall SuperDuty truck can create the same BSEG level!

Fred, Is that the car in the BMW tv commercial? (Buried in a farmers barn). One of the all-time greats.
It is funny that cars that were BOB at the time, had skid-pad figures, equaled by the mini-vans of today. (Of course don't lose sight of the fact that doesn't allow for overall vehicle dynamics!)
