I would like to know what kind of socks he wears, personally.

In 1996 he had a new Porsche that he sold when he began cancer treatment, but I do not know the model.

T'is foo where hijacks abound.

This could very well turn into a thread about spanking.

I remember seeing a picture awhile back and it sticks in my head that it was a Turbo.

The expensive one. My pal Don has the 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera convertible if that helps. But he can't ride like Lance. Faster than me, but everybody's faster than me.

I heard he used to spank his porsche, or something like that.

I thought so.

The 993 Twin Turbo is my favorite 911 model.

Except you don't want to be driving that one around in stop&go city traffic. The clutch is all-on or all-off, you pretty much either stall it when trying to take off or you end up lighting up the tyres.

Evil! Evil!!!!

I had a boss who had something similar to the above and he let anyone drive it (he owned the company). I borrowed it once and drove it exactly 15 minutes (the amount of time it took me to realize that I could easily kill myself).

I'll take your word for it, I'll never get the chance to find out. :(

Agreed, but the latter ones (of the 400 built) have a smoother clutch. Still pretty much on/off like you say though, but a touch softer.

I remember watching Lance get honked at by a person in a porch on those Lance specials.

lol seen the CEO of our company do that a few times dont know if he got a different one by now but he complained to us about how the car doesnt drive right i took a lap around the traileryard and didnt notice anything. the funniest **** ive heard him do was cross tread the knockoffs cause he was afraid the wheels would fly off after i told him it doesnt take much to tighten them

Just wondering, why would that help?
