Okay, now I have to chime in again. While Porches aren't my fantasy
machines, this business about "all" these and "all" those is just ludicrous.
There are a ton of Porches on the Melee driven by wonderful if lunatic
people. Like everything else, there are pompous bozos and salts of the earth
behind every type of wheel there is. Same goes for skin color, ethnicity,
gender, etc., etc. Why, there are even decent and intelligent Texans for
crying out loud. So now *I* cry, Lighten up already, and stop stereotyping.
Of course, Jaguars DO rule... No wait, I didn't say that. I'm MUCH to old
for such syntax...
