There was a funny moment a little while back...

One my guys in the bay area has an older Porsche 911 Targa... and we took his car on a trip to visit a vendor in Palo Alto...

I made the mistake of asking him why he was such a fan of Porsche... He got off the freeway about then and took the 90 degree corner at about 70 in a nicely done four wheel drift without using the brake pedal even once. I'm pretty sure my fingernail marks are still in the upholstery. He just looks over and smiles. 'nuf said. :-)

Years ago (when I still lived in Austin) I dated a guy who drove a Ferrari. This was in the really early 80's when anything new and American just really sucked. But, we used to have this same American vs. imports arguement. I loved driving his car. And as Bear and Rose can attest roads west of Austin where we lived are quite hilly and curvy. It was incredible fun!

But, still, like I already said, I might like to drive it. But, I don't want it in my parking space! :-)

I've driven lots of cars on that import list that are to die for. But, I don't want 'em.

I told you, this was my obstinate female point! :-)
