53 tickets? guy did not have radar detector? sounds quite stupid to me.
and this grand finalle is just amazing: 'After all the hard driving and long miles, the timing chain stretched, crunching the valves and turning the car into an exotic and expensive paperweight.' amazing.

I might be the minority but I think he is stupid. First off, bending over backwards for a girl and get screwed over. How many times have we seen this? Giving her everything she wanted and I'm assuming he was trying to keep her only to fail. (It always does) Relationship is about compromise if it's all about her, I usually show her the door.

Drowning yourself in debt, 53 speeding tickets, 25K in fees and fines, a foreclosure in Dallas, and an exotic paperweight, way to start your new life. All this b/c of a girl? Focking idiot is the proper word to describe him. I'm sure his ex-fiancee is impressed when she reads this. She's probably thinking, "Thank God I left him."

Stories like this makes nice reading material but it doesn't impress me. I know real people that was left by a girl b/c they didn't make enough money. They sold everything to start their own business and became multi-millionaires, only to watch the girl beg to come back. Now that is what all men should try to do.

I think his mental state is questionable. Read this sentence carefully and ask yourself how likely this is to happen to you:
While en route to the wedding he was stopped for speeding but ran afoul of the Indiana State Police and suddenly found himself staring down the highway at a roadblock.
Trying to put that together you get this best-case image of him being handed the citation from that speeding stop, crumpling it and laying rubber as he pulls away. And that really is the best case that can lead to a roadblock as part of the same anecdote.

As for "the timing chain stretched", the less said the better.

I see, I don't know any cute ENT device reps. You are right though, most device reps are dudes. Anyhow, this town is small and I want to stay on the good side of your wife who I may meet one day. If I have any cute patients who need ENT I'll keep you in mind. My GF has unilateral tinnitus but she already has an ENT in town, MRI was normal. No vertigo. I hope it's not a small acoustic neuroma or schwannoma that was missed on imaging (doubtful I'm sure).

man, life is a crazy thing. 3 events before a guy i know at SCDA club came to me and told me – “man, crazy thing happened, my nephew had a bad fight with his girlfriend, then walked outside, got his .45 and shot himself. Funeral is tomorrow.” Literally.

So, you know, life sometimes if a really crazy thing.

IMO this thread is quite silly. Doesn't that depend on the model? You can buy a used 911 for less than some new Toyotas cost. If we're talking new, Porsche directly competes with BMW and Mercedes, so you don't have to be a millionaire to own one unless its a GT2, GT3RS, Carrera GT.

Oh good to hear. My boy recently picked up a white LP560-4 with 2K miles on the odometer. It's taking him a little while to get used to the E-gear
