I was suppose to get my Boxster by August 4th, pick up point is Baltimore... still not here. New company shipping for the government, and well, they lost it somewhere between Virginia and Maryland. It left Germany on 20 June, arrived in Norfolk on 29 July, and from there, no one knows.

So you wouldn't recommend Obama Shipping Company?

probably? c'mon now!
Throwing political references into any non-political discussion is like dropping a silent but deadly fart at your first dinner with the in-laws. Just makes me people equal parts uncomfortable and irritated while everyone thinks they absolutely know who the culprit is.
p.s.
Politics: a total self delusion and spectacular farce, created through the dissemination of half truths by for-profit "news" networks whose sole purpose is to inflame the target audience while pundits get paid lucrative book, television and radio contracts and the networks rake in the ad revenue with a snow plow. Meanwhile the tricky balance of governance gets completely destroyed through polarization of constituents who get all their manipulated information from sitting on the couch. Politics has been proven time and time again to be the least efficient, most expensive and least consequential avenue for affecting even marginal improvement to anything it claims to want to "fix". That's my take.
But this is an even better one:
What Is Politics?
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is politics?"
Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I'm the breadwinner of the family, so let's call me capitalism. Your Mom, she's the administrator of the money, so we'll call her the Government. We're here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you the people. The nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we'll call him the Future. Now, think about that and see if that makes sense,"
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what dad had said.
Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed. The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now."
The father says, "Good son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about."
The little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is in deep poo."

Of course! 
But the important thing is your health and you got the mess in the frunk cleaned up.
That must have been a lot of work, well done
