Amen to that, Anthony! People in our modern world need to laugh a little more. Everyone is so uptight! What's wrong with people?

This last Sunday at our annual Oktoberfest All-German Car Show, someone in our local PCA chapter handed me a business card for 996 Outpost. Since I just joined the madness with a '99 911 last November, I could not resist. :)
