I'm afraid I no longer fit into skinny jeans

Boy did this go off on a tangent, my opinion for what it's worth, I like to see ladies in skinny jeans and long sleeve blouses. Hope that does not make me weird.
Having been a co-owner of a Grand Am team, you had to go in with the mentality that the value of the car was a write off. At the end of the day if it was higher, good. When you put any car at risk at the limit you have to be prepaired for a total loss, I am not talking about driving to Starbucks mixed in with soccer moms in their SUV's.
The original question was relative to how we feel about the value increase. I am aware of and stay abreast of the trend, I have adjusted my insurance coverage as is prudent. I got into some of my cars when they were just old cars and were valued as such, others before the big run up. So I do not feel as exposed as anyone who got in at the top of the market. When I lived in Paris I was buying wine futures and got some very nice allocations. Today I can enjoy first growths and Grand Crus not at today's value but for a fraction, and I drink them. I do not ever think of selling them to buy a new longhood. I drive my cars because that is why I own them. If I could not drive them I would contemplate their value and sell. But, I can still get the pleasure I cannot put a number on. When on the road in my cars I realize their value. So. Long winded but, yes I am aware, I care, I am not obsessed, and the grin is the most valuable attribute.

I'm sure you get this all the time, but I just have to say I love you banter Frank!

Kris is holding out for more dough.
Beard market is crazy right now.

I think it's a bubble.

Ladies?

Who said anything about ladies?

I like your philosophy. I love the fact that our cars are worth so much but what difference does it really make? Everything has a "higher value" because the dollar is shrinking.

I've said it 100 times before: The moment our cars start "owning us" is when it's time to liquidate.

All I can say is when skinny jeans and long sleeve blouses outnumber 501's, shorts, and T-shirts at Porsche events, I'm out.

I'll get off the grid at that point.

Like dude, like you might overheat in AZ with a long sleeve wool Pendleton and stocking cap.

I'm thinking of growing a beard and putting it on my resume. Not the beard , the cultivation
part,

[Gearby]

LOL, could be. Hmmmm..........If she can still fit into her skinny jeans, I wonder if she can squeeze into sport seats?

[Peanut]

You sure that isn't a dude?

Scott,
You could be right.

Now that I think about it I think I saw this cat at an Apple Store asking if they had an app for fat.

He had a beard, moobs, and his butt was missing.




That much I remember.


This is wonderful. Who the heck cares about Porsche price increases?
