Chuck puts it into the proper perspective. They are trying to keep the streets safe. A drunk driver (.17) tried his hardest to kill me 24 yrs ago - we were 2 car lengths away from a head on and I'm sure I wouldn't have survived had I not taken evasive action. So I'm all for extracting them from our highways and byways. And being curtious goes a long way from being hassled even more. I have to remember these things if I get pulled over again.

I understand Punkin standing out in a crowd, but last night I was driving the Cayman which is Carmon Red. It doesn't exactly glow in the dark.

As far as Porsche's being rare in our little cow pasture, that's not necessarily true. Woodhouse sells a heck of a lot of Porsches. There's even another 08 S Limited Edition that must live somewhere in my neck of the woods because I've seen him several times. Last night I saw a 997 on my way to the comedy club and tonight I saw a 997T. They're out there. Hopefully they're not getting the same treatment from Omaha's finest.

And don't worry about me getting a big head. I'm a former professional athlete who has transitioned into the movie business so I already have a big ego. I always ask the officers if they know who they've pulled over.

J/K

Last fall my mom said it was a good thing I wasn't arrested because she wouldn't have bailed me out. Wow. I know none of my buddies would either. I wouldn't do well in jail, so I better watch my Ps and Qs.

BTW... It's 10:15pm CDT and all my Porsches are in the garage.

I can hear the conversation now...
"Officer, do you know who I am?"

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're the knucklehead we pulled over for rolling that stop sign last August..."

And it helps to be pretty

back in the day I had a Honda Prelude and my girlfriend, (blonde, blue eyes, and a deep tan) was driving back from Myrtle Beach. She was speeding and weaving pretty bad. She got pulled over and when the question came "Do you know how fast you were going?

She replied "No, I have no idea - I was falling asleep."

Let her off with a " you be careful now Miss"
