You are officially a poser until you put your money where your mouth is. I've had enough.

I think I'm driving more slowly.  I hate to see it happen.

You make 6 figures, but won't even get a $20,000 2003 Porsche Boxster S. I don't think we care any more. Your last ticket was yearS ago. You have no credibility anymore.

I bet you have so much fun driving that new deck of yours...  oh wait...  :nutty:

Haha, you must be drunk already!

The new deck was a necessity.  I can't have the French doors open to a cliff.  That wouldn't go over well in my neighborhood, as you well know.... :lol:

I still drive pretty fast, but it's not the compulsion that it once was.  I don't get upset if I can't keep up 80+ mph on the highway, the way I used to.  I'm very happy to be able to go fast when conditions are right, but I don't want to put myself or anybody else in danger.  It's just part of aging, I guess.

I'm embarrassed by how long it's been since my last ticket.  I don't drive enough, and I look too respectable, so the cops don't go after me.  I'd have to get a different car to attract their attention.

You act as if this is a laughing matter. Unbelievable. You will barely lose value with a 2003 Boxster S, and you can afford $1,000 a year in insurance. You don't need a god damned 5-series to get yourself to the train station everyday. Man the fuck up.

Yeah, you can't have french doors open to a cliff when you sell your house. In the mean time, that is not a problem :lol:

How many drinks have you had so far tonight, man?  :lol:

If you're willing to pay for the car and insurance, and take care of all the repairs, I'm game.  :ohyeah:

There hasn't been a cloud in the sky and I have been drinking all day :lol:




Regardless, you ought to be ashamed of yourself with regards to your attitude. You'll barely put 5,000 miles on your Porsche each year, which means that it will cost you essentially no money to keep it going. You've convinced CarSPIN that you are better off without a Porsche, but I see through your bullshit.

What makes you think I really earn six figures?  The truth is, I'm really 23 and live in my parents' basement.  "My" house really belongs to people I house sit for.

Are you suggesting you earn seven figures? Because that doesn't help :lol:

There's one 5 minutes away.  I drive by it every day.  I went to the Audi dealer last weekend to check out the lineup.

It sounds like if there is a problem, you can easily take your Porsche to the dealership and get it fixed while you are at work. I know they offer rides to the train station.


So, what's your next excuse? You're running thin  :praise:
