I have thoroughly enjoyed the ad-free, (mostly) drama-free, *quality* content found only here. I genuinely appreciate that, and your efforts, very much.

True story -- I frequently drove by this location when commuting between my primary and country homes. An involuntary shudder always hit me, and to this day my bride doesn't understand why...but those of us RL refugees certainly do!

That road sign makes me want to roll my car out into the driveway, drop the engine, clean it with a toothbrush, reinstall engine and roll the car back into the garage...

btw your message was true and fairly said.

Don't forget to install a random off-the-shelf bearing so you can f**k the next owner.

Just remember the "never open any attachment placed by Herr 5chn3ll!" rule.

Everyone who has asked until now - and a couple of people who didn't - have gotten invites. Keep 'em coming.

Like our fun times on RL, everything has a season. Lots of jokes, banter, and even a prank that got a certain individual banned. ha!

That being said, you're all welcome to join the Porsche 996 Enthusiasts and DiY group on Facebook. Dallas, Jeff, and I are all admins. I know some of you hate the thought of Facebook and revealing your real names, but just know you're welcome in our house. Another thought would be to start a FB account using your original RL user names. Not sure if Facebook will like it or not, but worth a try.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/2186793314904802

God bless and Godspeed to all of you.

I just picked up a REALLY nice white linen outfit and a pair of bespoke camel-scrotum driving shoes from the 2023 Johnny Irish collection, available from any Forest Lawn location. Pretty sweet.
