What's up with Rusnak of Pasadena plates? Used to visit the parts counter occasionally when I had my 964 living in Pasadena.

The 430 is most sweet.

Considering the average deal I sign is around $300k, $4mm is pretty substantial in my world.

Sorry you missed my joke -- $4mm -- 4 milli-meter
M8 -- 8 millimeter.

Glad you got the deal!

He actually admitted that Porsche has the best engineering out of all the super cars.

He could have bought 3 variations of "best engineering" for the price of that beauty.
Sex appeal always wins

Did he let you get within 6 feet of it, maybe even touch it?

Who parked next to the other first? Did he leave a door ding on yours as a parting gift?

Hmmmm....a Ferrari owner actually admitting Porsche has the best enginering of all super cars. Seems strange ,but money makes people say and do strange things. Just be careful is all I'm saying!
