As a self-employed guy, I cannot drive that car to any job, for any reason. Not even if the truck is broke down and they have no heat.

"Well, we can see who makes the REAL money.."
"So, by how much are we over-paying you to drive THAT???"

One very rich customer..
"Oh, I had a Boxster..What year is yours?"
"2004"
"OK, 986. At least I'm not paying you too much..."


Never again will that car see a job of mine.

I didn't know that vaccines contained copies of everyone's 23rd chromosome.

Back on topic, what I really get asked the most is if it's AWD. I guess it's me being around the generation of Impreza and lancer Evo lovers that brings this question up so often.

My wife and I both make good money, but we never drove nice cars because we don't like car payments. after we sold a restaurant we owned we were pretty flush with cash so decided to get something better than my '98 pathfinder and her '04 alero. she got a '10 Mercedes C300 4matic and I got the boxster soon after. people at work began to wonder if we had won there lottery or something, a friend/co-worker had several of them convinced that I had started doing porn movies. this is particularly funny considering that I am 50 years old, bald with a bit of a belly.
