Fellow RAG'ers, I have a dilemma. The new Porsche GT2 is slated to come out, and I am pretty sure I want one. The only problem is I am about $190,000 short of the asking price. Pride would normally prevent me from begging strangers for money, but come on, this is one sexy machine!!







So, for the new year of 2008, I am casting aside my pride and all that goes with it. Think of the humiliation I am feeling for asking you all to paypal me a few grand of your hard earned money. Poor me, poor poor me!!

If you are $190,000 short for the Porsche, you will be $390,000 short for the Rolls Royce MK4.

I feel for ya', buddy.

The trouble with a car like the Porsche GT2 is that unless it's someone that knows cars, it just looks like any other Porsche. In other words, it's only going to "look great" to someone who knows what it is.

Now compare that to the Rolls Royce that MDP mentions. With a few exceptional areas, it's rare to see even one RR on the road at any one time, and it always has that "WOW!" factor. Ditto for most of the other high end super exotic cars.

However, if you are really interested in the Porsche, I'll gladly contribute $10 toward the cause. That way you'll only be about $189,990 short. Just post your buyers order when you get the rest of the money together, and I'll send you the $10.

See, this is what I like!! People stepping up to the plate and giving what they can.


Patrick, I'll put you down for a grand. MDP, I've got you slated for $50 g's. Dave, ten bucks; that's $51,010 on the first day.

Sure, it may look like your every day, run of the mill, 911 Turbo, but when I am behind the wheel, I will know the difference. It's not like I won't take you folks for a ride when I get it. I know the meaning of the word, "gratitude."

I think I have convinced Dave ESPI to kick in a large sum; let's see how deep his pockets are. Right now, I am at $61,010; not bad but still a long ways off.
