Welcome!
To be clear: your sarcasm and good-naturedly caustic wit aren't what I was referring to below, haha.

It’s ok. I’m a grown up with a thick head and thicker skin.

Posted a couple of new threads but won’t post them saying awaiting moderation. Don’t really want to hijack anyone else thread but could find an appropriate one?

Find a closely related post and render your inquiries there. I can't recall anyone, even a moderator, coming down on hijackers. No sense waiting... bring it on.

Nah, I've got plenty of respect for Raby. It's the mindless zealots I can't abide.

LOL! I considered inquiring. My feelers tell me with whom, and whom not, I can "mess" with. You're not one of them.

By the way... you've been "back" more and more. Did you sell the Ferrari? Do you still have the box? New projects on the horizon?

Nah... I'd be handing that $4i7 right back at you.... if I was as good as you are at it, haha. I know when I'm out-matched.

Yes, I sold the f430. Put 25k miles on it and sold it for more than I paid... which emboldened me.... so I bought another car that I'd take a $40k bath on if I sold it right now.... pfft. She'll only let me do that once, haha.
Also sold the spec boxster.
Still hovering here because my son has a 986 now, and I'm thinking I'll grab another one soon, if I find the right deal.

In the meantime, I've taken up farm-life and horse training. I'll post a picture and then brace myself for the uncle fester comments.

Uncle Fester? No way!! You look great!

Who's the guy next to you? And why are you holding him up?
