I was supposed to go check out a car today but the guy has his cell turned off. He better get out of Easter services soon and turn that phone back on.

I'm out to pick up some oil... gotta change the dino oil frequently with the new motor. This'll be the 3rd fill on her... hit 2k miles on her yesterday.

Even with autox'ing, I still got 17.2 mpg on the last tank. Most of the miles were highway miles, but I'll take it!

At the autox yesterday, there were a couple of Porsches. The way the rear fender so softly flares out(911) is the sexiest thing on four wheels.

holy crap you've been driving the heck out her she got back on the road.

I think I've decided against the 911 but throttle response was rediculously quick in the AWD one I drove yesterday and it was an older one. The quy had got a twin turbo to replace it.

Well, I have to set my sight a bit more realistically. Even if I could afford a Cayman S, I doubt I could afford the associated costs: tires, maintenance, insurance, plastic surgery to remove the permanent grin.

I'm willing to bet insurance is the same or less than the S2000 and maintenance has to be lower than Princess. Either way you have that smile.
