Not worth it. I have a friend who is trying to get one "lasered" off. She's had one session (at $500 and a lot of pain) and it still looks the same. The doctor told her it could take five sessions, and there is still a good chance that it will be slightly visible.

really?

Bummer. I guess I am adopting.

How deep/dark is it? Her tattoo is on the back of her neck, and is really dark. I've heard that others have had better success.

I'd have won the fucking car if this were The Price is Right.

There are many real exotics under $200k (Bentley Continental, the new small Astin Martin, a few year old Ferrari).

The 911 is to middle aged men what the BMW 330 is to kids who get their first bonus check. "Look at me!" They're nice rides, don't get me wrong. And they perform magnificently and run forever. And if you buy a standard 911 just to have a fun convertible, I guess thats sensible. But all these old men I see driving their turbos around the Philly burbs crack me up. I mean, really, why? Other than compensating for lack of something else, of course...

My prime gripe with the car is its utter lack of creativity. Its the generic staus symbol for the Viagra chomping, hair plug wearing professional man on the go. If you feel the need to exhibit your fat wallet that badly, do it with some originality.

This is just pure bullshit. All of it. It's not surprising, but I just had to point it out.

If you are a middle-aged man and you buy a Porsche, a Ferrari, a Corvette or any other sportscar, you are automatically presumed to (i) have a small dick and (ii) be going through a mid-life crisis. It doesn't matter what kind of car it is. That is the presumption.

There is no question that many men are probably suffering from both when they buy such a car. More power to 'em. But it has always been my opinion that, for most people, there comes a time when you can actually afford such a car (if you aren't born into wealth or hit the lottery). This time, coincidentally, is probably somewhere around mid 30s-40s for most people.

And your comments on what a Porsche looks like and the "Everyman sportscar" are just fucking stupid. It is a beautiful car. It handles unbelievably. Everyman? You must live in a world where a golf membership is necessary when you become a father.

If I could have afforded a Porsche when I was 22, guess what? I would have bought one. If I could afford one now, I would buy one. I've driven one and they are amazing.

It's pretty light. Pink and purple.

I'm feeling too insecure to zing anyone right now.

Just to clarify, I didn't mean to say that RR looked BAD in that photo or that people who look like her body in that photo are unattractive. I was simply sincerely surprised that with makeup effects like that the body would be anything less than TOTALLY slammin'. I don't know that character but I find the head part really UNattractive and was just surprised to see tummy bloat I guess.

If I could have afforded a Porsche at 22 (or even now), I would have bought a boat. Just a nice little 24' cruiser. The Porsche does the exact same thing as my current average car: gets me from here to there.

Also, I would have docked it at the Gross Pointe Yacht Club and mocked Hank.

LIPO!??? Beano is TOTALLY cheaper than LIPO!!!!!

And I was thinking about getting a divorce tattoo as well. But I'm having second thoughts. What is a good tattoo/piercing-like way to celebrate your divorce? I don't mean getting drunk or going on vacation or giving a blowjob etc - I mean something kind of permanent. But I am basically tattooed and pierced out, and am looking for something new.

Buy me a Porsche.

that's just the vestiges of your Christian upbringing and its prohibitions against sex with other species

2. Apparently the only car that one could buy at that age and financial status is a Mercedes SL500 (or so). Or an M5 (which, if you want stereotypes is more for the young hotshot with money to burn than a mid-life crisis guy). Sorry. If I have the means, I'm not limiting my car choices. If necessary, I'll ask flower for one of his leftover "No, in fact my dick is quite large" bumperstickers.

Let me ask the people who are bashing Porsche one question: have you ever driven one?

I had a buddy who let me drive his Turbo and it was fucking amazing. Probably not as nice as the M5 I test drove (just for fun), but that's only b/c the M5 seats 4 comfortably.

Rather than generalizing and saying everyone who drives a Porche is overcompensating, perhaps you can give them the benefit of the doubt and think "there's a person who likes to drive fast cars"? Nothing wrong with liking fast cars. Sounds like sour grapes to me the other way.

Would I buy a Porsche? No way. But not b/c of the stigma. It's because I can't afford one. Though, even if I could afford it, I guess I'd go for something more practical. But I will never begrudge someone for their choice of auto. Different strokes and all that.

We have the same arguments every 13 months.

Become a "big sister?" Helping out a kid and maybe changing a life, can really be fulfilling experience.

I'm sure I should STP, but I'll just chime in and confirm that they're not all the same thickness.

I think we have different definitions of "afford." Under mine, you would have bought the boat and the Porsche.
