LOL I saw 8 today.

4 in uptown, 2 on hillcrest right off of SMU's campus, my girlfriend spotted one on the way back from Tyler ["oooh pretty"], and of course one at dinner.

And yeah, it's what they're for...from a roll at least.

Can't say I've shared this observation. If anything, quite the opposite.

Agreed.

Similar note:
I ran into two 911's this week on the highway. I wasn't looking for a race, but did pull up alongside them. Wanted to give a thumbs up for a good looking car. But neither driver would turn and look. It was quite obvious I was on their side so I figure they either didn't look because they thought I was egging on a race, totally oblivious to their surroundings, or just too high class to look down at us lower folk. Oh well. Why is it so hard to run into cool 911 owners? This happens all the time without fail.

*flamesuit on*

Not too high class.....just able to spell AGRESSIVELY correctly, and also drive the way the car was meant to be driven.
