Nice to see that! They couldn't find a better 968 photo?

Bebe - your avatar is electrifying! I love it! Do you have that image in a format that you could share? I would love to have it in my band room at school. Many of my students would "appreciate" it! Some would "identify" with it. For others, it would bring back

painful memories!

I like that he has good things to say about our cars too but behind the Bonneville and Olds Cutlass?! Yuck. The only other half way decent looking car is perhaps the Mitsubishi, and I'm being nice. The writer seemed to simply pull this list out of an 90's hat. Forgotten for a reason! Nissan Skyline, BMW M Coupe, Mercedes 500e, and Toyota Supra come to mind but maybe not "forgotten" enough.

I could swear that Pontiac has been crashed a few times over. The design really hurts my eyes.

I guess the 1995 968 wasn't forgotten?

In spite of nice things said about the car, I don't understand how the author could have possibly thrown the 968 in the same grouping of cars which are neither " classics " ( perhaps the Mitsubishi could be seen as a borderline classic, but the others are a joke.. ) and which were always in a distant league below a Porsche, with sticker prices for most at less than half of the 968 .. It's like putting the Lotus Esprit in the same class as a Toyota Tercel..

Lol, the Tercel, with a whole 65 hp, the baby has got a couple of toys with more than that.

To Scott; I'll see if I can find the file/picture. I'm sure it's on one of my computers.

Scott, using that photo in your band room will keep the students grounded. . I'd be shocked if it doesn't . Hopefully Bebe will find a current one to send you. Think positive . And if you get the band to play ACDC tunes while you hang the photo on the wall, well ..more power to you ! Had enough :-) ?

ds968,



I'm amped-up and hope he finds it. Sparks will fly if I get any static!
