Post some of your favorite Ben' quotes and pics of him lets remember his amazing life

I'm doing the search as this is being done.

Of course he said it in jest , one of my Ben favorites " it's just a lambo"

Ben's great sense of humor and personality will sure be missed here. Again, my deepest condolences to the Families of Ben and Corey. RIP Guys.

QUOTE FROM CAYENNE FORUM

at least the ***** is regular...

and is menstrating right on schedule. well it's been 11 months and 11k miles and she just asked for the 11 qt of oil. i used to think it was amazing the first scheduled oil change for the cayenne is 20k miles, but now i'm wondering why so soon since i will have already changed the oil over 2 times - 1 qt at a time!

my favorite memory of his posts was when he was trying to figure out how to get that new CGT into the garage. He had it figured down to the 1/8" or 1/16" of how it couldn't go in front ways and had to be backed in. I was amazed & stunned at the preciseness of his calculations. But then again, if I were bringing a CGT home, I might be too

Then someone asked a general question about possibly building a driveway so that a CGT could make it up it successfully- in general terms.

Ben responded with something like "you need 6.8 ft of cement at a slope of 21.7 degrees." I couldn't stop laughing realizing just how smart this guy Ben was.

Thank You Ben....

Chordate is an unknown quantity at this point
Here is another great memory...:

"i used the "**** star" line when the guy asked me yesterday at the light when i was driving the CGT. he replied, "no way. i'm a **** star and i only make $400 a movie". no kidding "

His humor and respect for other people is uncommon in this world, and it is such a horrible loss.

RIP Ben
