A couple of years ago I was going out to lunch and found that a painters van had pulled up next to my 911TT, which was parked by itself with dozens of open spaces around the lot.

The guys were unloading, so I went over and asked, "Of all the open spots in this lot, why did you feel the need to park next to me?"

The passenger says, "Yeah, I thought that too, when he (the driver) said to me", "Haha, let's park next to this Porsche."

I just looked at the driver, shook my head and said, "You're incredible."

I wondered if he thought it was a compliment.

I'll tell you why bro...

It's cause people are SCUM... 99.9% of people are Jealous haters, And they will do something to you under one condition... ANY TIME THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH IT.

Now... I've been on a lifelong mission, NOT TO LET THEM!

I have many close wonderfull friends, and people that are close to me, that I would give the World for. I love them, and protect them... Because they deserve it, they've proven themselves to be good people, and I will ALWAYS be there for them...

Everyone else I keep at arms length, Untill they prove otherwise.

I NEVER leave my car out of my presence, unless it is locked in my heated garage. PERIOD.

Sorry bout that.

Best,

RoydRage

I'll go to a small store if I can see the car through the window, or if I leave someone in the passenger seat.

I don't go anywhere with this car that requires me leaving the car, I don't drive it that much. It does not go out in Winter, Rain, Or damp days. The car has never been in the rain since new, and it has only 5,000mi on it.

I have another car for everyday use... And I'm VERY CAREFUL with it too... Just not as much as this car.

Best,

RoydRage

Your car looks really clean. It's beautiful.

Unfortunately, I abuse my car because I live in the city and park my car on the streets a lot. It's been even scratched twice in my garage in midtown.

It's safe to assume you don't bring your SL55 around my neighborhood?

No not at all Phone...

But calling me Pathedic is not a good way to start things off.

The way I am is... You treat me good, I'll treat you better. You treat me bad, I'll treat you worse.

Who is this guy? Dun? What does that mean in your world?? My family is from the UK and they don't sound like you, a complete jackass, while speaking. I suppose a poor ol' fellow such as yourself wouldn't know the difference. Cheers mate!

Word.

I was gonna defend the guy after Royd Rage told him "to stay at his side of the pond" but his post about your E was retarded. You're something of an embarassment to England, Phonetics.
