Any porsche drivers?

[Herr Professor Doktor Doom]

Beets, do you really have a Civic that old?  That's an awesome car.  I had an 88 Civic and it lasted 15 years before I finally got rid of it.  Loved that car.
 
 The VW Jetta is basically a Porsche with a different skin.  They are built on the same assembly line in Wolfsburg.  They take a Porsche engine, file the Porsche ID info off it, re-stamp it with VW information, and drop it into a Jetta body.   You get yourself a VW Jetta V6 GLI, you can take on any but the top of the line Porsche at a light and win.  Same suspension system too, tweaked a bit for the Jetta's larger size.  Porsche downplays this information because they need the volume sales that VW production affords, but don't want to lose their niche market.
 
 By the way, if you want to see a real asshole, look at the driver of a Porsche SUV.

Nah, not nearly that old, just a decrepit '91. I just liked that pic a lot more. Check out those whitewalls...

D'oh!  I didn't notice the whitewalls before, that's hilarious!
 
 Just to warn you, when I finally decided to sell my '88 Civic, I couldn't find a buyer at any price... I finally donated it to Goodwill for a tax deduction...

Your sarcasm was indeed lost on me, but in my defence I sold Porsche's for over 10 years (before defecting to Ferrari/Maserati) and if I had a $1 for everytime some prick made the "Porsche is just an overpriced VW really" I would be up with Bill Gates in the bank account stakes! I personally think Porsche took a major step in the wrong direction with the introduction of the water cooled 996, then totally lost the plot with the Cayenne. Porsche's finances will disagree with me, but I'm strictly speaking out of nostalga. When this business makes me rich I will buy a 993 as a toy, because I still think it's the most enjoyable sports car to drive, (if you know how to drive it) and I would also buy a Maserati Quattroporte as the family car.
 
 The reality is, if you drive a car that's less than 10 years old, Porsche most likely had something to do with it's development, they r&d for just about every manufacture out there.

Whatever, there's only one vehicle worth its weight....

We'll still be sharing the 95 Saturn for a few more years, then we'll get a second car.

I want that new Bugatti, the one that goes through a tank of gas in 12 minutes if you're doing top speed.

we've got a 92 - 175k+ miles and still going strong - love that car

[markie]

But you would go 50 miles in 12 minutes....

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Good to hear. We're just about ready for our 120K mile tuneup, no major problems. Even the cassette deck still works.

Anyway, to get back to the topic at hand, I guess I am a Porsche driver, since I drive a VW.
