I'm here for the enthusiasts, not the snobbery

The only issue is,she just doesn’t understand my love of this audio hobby. I guess you can’t have everything. 

another silly response from  resident 'g' goeffkait --- ’d be more concerned about putting some skin on the asphalt. I once came upon a turned over motorcycle on the highway and wondered where the rider was. As it turned out he was about 100 yards up ahead, being attended to'  ------
again talk w/o benefit of knowledge or experience .   The rider never travels as far as the bike. Ask ambulance drivers :)

I'm with you Erik, bikes are more fun-- and this place loves people with your decent helpful attitude. Cheers!

Welcome, post traumatic stress syndrome. 🤕

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Old Jags are the nicest looking. Good luck getting one to run. My favorite is the XJ12 cab (not sure if Jag calls it that) from 30+ years ago. British racing green with a tan interior with a tan convertible top (must be clean). My dream car for days when the top can be down. I would only drive a convertible with the top down and unfortunately where I live, cab says are about 120-150 days a year. Subtract out the days when pollen is deadly and you're down to 60-120 days a year. Not worth it. San Diego or Hawaii - definitely.

Porsches have evolved incrementally for over 50 years. At least you know what the hell it is when you see one. Take the badges off most new cars and most of the time you have no idea what they are. 911s are an icon, fun to drive, hold their value incredibly well  (or appreciate after about 8 years), and are very reliable. What's not to like? The people that have them for the status can be spotted a mile away. Some are snobs and like driving but have no knowledge of Porsche history. Most of the snobs buy SUVs.

As far as motorcycles, off road or dirt biking is fine. On public roads you have gotta be nuts. I saw up close (by accident) one time around the corner from my house at a 5 point intersection when I was riding my bicycle the remains of a motorcycle accident that was being cleaned up with cops and EMS at the scene, literally scraping the rider off the ground. The car (SUV) was hardly damaged.I don't mean to scare you, but motorcyclists keep hospitals in business. It's like my ortho surgeon who replaced my ACL said after the operation, "you can play basketball again, but the over 40 league keeps me in business - I wouldn't" Since I tore mine without even touching another player, I quit playing.

He drives a brand new 911 C4S Cab and always leases to have the latest model. He is the both guy above. Enjoys driving tremendously and goes to the occasional PCA event, but like most doctors, is very status conscious, very worried about keeping up with the Joneses.
