He might have, but his pride and joy is a GT3RS. One night while my wife was FORCING me to watch that stupid show, Momma Kardashian (dont know her name, you know...the really old one of the group) was forcing Bruce to sleep in the garage with his car and toy helicopter. The garage was VERY NICE, with a tiled floor and a GT3rs.

Would choose sleeping with GT3RS over momma train wreck any day

Rumor has it, that Jo Jo Starbuck sold some of her trophies to buy an arena red '99 tip.

Freud would say, "it's more than just a rocket" ....

Ghostrider 310 08-21-2012 10:08 AM

Well you can have the biggest rocket of all and if nobody asks you to launch it, at the day's end it's still you and the rocket. I'll take a smaller craft with a busy launch schedule any day.

Mark_T 08-21-2012 11:03 AM

Well, Ghost, that's awfully brave of you to come here and admit to having a tiny rocket but really, dude, too much information! :eek:

I didn't say that Mark, reading is fundamental, I'm Sicilian, the blacks conquered that place lots of times, when they did we received more than their skin color. In that scenario I said I'd rather, never said I did, I still think the point is salient. If you please your lady the rest is just bluster.

Mark_T 08-21-2012 11:15 AM

I know that Ghost - it was just too good an opportunity for a shot to pass up.

Besides, if you really had a tiny rocket then you would probably have 20" rims and a big fugly wing on your Boxster! :D

Ghostrider 310 08-21-2012 11:17 AM

I can barely freakin walk most days so I'm pretty much dee you enn DONE anyhow

PS Michel Picione only guy I know from Winnipeg, taking a blind shot here, you're friends aren't you?

Mark_T 08-21-2012 11:33 AM

No, the only Italian guy I know here is Tony Aiello.

I did a Canada411 check on that name and there are no Picione's listed for Winnipeg.

He never wanted to stay there, he would have been the Kodak representative circa 1987, I thought he was from there too though.

Hey I've been dark all the way back to when I was made fun of for it every day, now these same pasty goofs are all in the booths getting skin cancer, seems I'm getting the last laugh.

In "The Whole 9 yards" with Matthew Perry & Bruce Willis there is a Barney purple 996 Cab tip that Matthew Perry drives. I delivered that Porsche to Studio Services in Burbank. This was around the time that Perry had crashed his own 911. When they finished shooting it I delivered it to SanFrancisco to exchange for the the 1st GT2 on the west coast from Sports Car International who had just used it for their cover story track testing the GT2 against a Viper. Shortly after returning with the GT2 we had to retrieve the Cab for some re shoots of "The Whole 9 yards".

Wow BYprodriver,

Cool info! I recently crashed a 911 (and then bought a 986), hopefully I can land a movie role too?

The demise of the 911 was due to some car preppers getting over zealous with Armour All - by putting it on the WHOLE TIRE - it was the most horrifying block I have ever been on! This was a small dealership and English was a second language for them. The owner said, "Put Armour All on ALL the tires". They thought he meant the WHOLE ENCHILADA and I ended up in the cheap seats….no one was hurt but my pride!

Here's the point, some statements have different meaning to different people.

In his autobiography, Evel Knievel mentions that in later years he wanted to re-attempt jumping the Snake River Canyon, this time with a 986 boxster . The story goes on to say how the threat of IMSB failure cancelled his plans. Where the hell as was Raby and LN Engineering when he needed them ?


I couldn't resist throwing this chestnut in .
