Six hours of my day, two Porsche dealers and four offers later and I don't want to drive anymore, thank you sales prevention department! You're right! There is no substitute for German arrogance. I own two homes, paid in full and Porsche thumbs downs me on the note, emmkay... Meanwhile, my own credit union is good to go, guess Porsche doesn't want anyone limping to drive one... I also bought a Ford Escape Jan 10 and its paid in full, guess Ford credit is just smarter than Porsche.

Seems petty simple to me -- don't want to drive -- fly the jet pack.

I've got a major problem flying in something that plummets like a rock out of the sky when the engine fails. Airplanes and helicopters are landable in the event of a complete engine failure, this thing is not.

But very George Jetson cool.

I wonder if it has an IMS Bearing? Can't just pull over when it disintegrates. :)

You mean "in theory", Right? ;)

The one circumstance where I might prefer driving a Tiptronic.

madmods 02-03-2012 04:58 AM
