I know about those jump points because I had to use them the day I bought mine on the way home from the dealership. They had only put a splash of gas in the car and the low fuel warning light bulb was burned out so of course it sputtered and died right as I crossed a bridge looking for a gas station. Luckily I had a buddy following me so we got some gas in it, but then it wouldn't start because the battery was toast from sitting on the lot for over a year. Got it home and immediately went and bought a new battery that I religiously keep on a tender if I'm not going to be driving it for more than a day or two.
Just checking in to highlight that your response was fine any chance you get to make me look like a fucking idiot is an opportunity you should seize, although if you seize every opportunity you will spend your entire life doing nothing but that and that sounds like a dreary life.

Drove to the weekly Porsche Club breakfast [49 attending - great turnout] then a club drive out to Lawrence, KS, using the "back roads" The beautiful weather attracted 35 cars for the drive. Awesome.

Took my daughter to a cars and coffee event in Athens this morning. They sent the pic as I was trying to make a clean getaway.

Those are some fine lookin’ rides, but the eye is really drawn to that last red one on the right. The owner must be really important to merit a prime parking spot like that.

Is it me or are the rear wheels pushed forward in the wheel well?

I think it's an optical illusion due to him turning (e.g. it's not a true side shot) and all the dark coloring, but now that you point it out it does look weird...
