Well hurry up. That's what you said a week ago. This place needs some excitement.

You're on the wrong forum for that.

You drive a Tiptronic?

Don't encourage him. He already posts too much as it is ! High School kids need a life (or a summer job ). He joined a year later than I did and he already has nearly 3 times as many posts. I guess I need to post more?

Hey I have a great subjects to liven up the discussion
What Oil should I put in my Boxster
Its Time for new Tires and ...

I'm guessing Jake is waiting for those donations to start coming in

Here comes the Green eyed monster
A high school kid drives around in a Porsche ( I got to drive my Dad's 914 to school once in a while )
oh wait, now he's preparing to get another one

Jake - here's your car - go get it. And it's priced right.

1,2,3.....in that order! (we watch dog shows)

Jake's 'Summer Project' was a close 4th....

In all seriousness, I was blown away by the replies to my 'Will Humans Ever Achieve Light-Speed' thread. Some seriously smart folks on here.

May be time to ask the board 'At what point does a fly turn upside down before landing on the ceiling'.....

aha I hope he gets it soon 2. I love this big Jake kid-with-a-Porsche guy a lot... dunno why... might be his character or the who I would have loved-myself to be when I was 16 years old

hang on there.. or could it be because I drive a fliptronic?



Go-Go-Go Jacob!

I hope he buys a safe beater (Honda, Subaru, etc.) and invests the rest of that big insurance check.
A 16 year old that starts his own investment portfolio at that age is the first 16 year old that breaks the mold.

Time value of money. A life-changing concept that most will never understand. Porsches are a dime a dozen, always will be.

Love the understated interior with the hint of RACE! on those Pedals. I need to get some of those. Any recommendations?
How do they attach?

Jake has a very cool persona for a 16yr old, very refreshing.
Opinionated but still open minded.
