I need to find that episode!!

My cousin waited over 2hrs at the car rental inside the airport because they were waiting on cars to come back in.

Meanwhile my Turo rented Model 3 was awaiting my arrival in the parking lot when I landed.

The location keeps the overhead at a minimum which helps fund the MM and Urus 🤣

Commercial real estate isn’t cheap. Put them in a more desirable location and that retainer fee likely increases.

And one of them illegally parked in a handicapped spot, at that.

when the going gets tough, you want a criminal lawyer!

Saul was the best....

"You act like you're the first guy to get cheated on.... I caught my second wife screwing my stepdad." LOL.

You don't in reality want a lawyer like Saul because when you get caught the lawyer will go down with you. You want an excellent lawyer who knows when to shut up and/or look the other way.

Now you guys got me wanting to re-watch BB and BCS. For the third time

On another note, my coworker drove his Boxster this morning to work. He owns two and does all his own work on it

Lol I've seen BB like 40 times.

And that's a nice Boxter. I imagine the work isn't nearly as complicated as a modern Porsche.

I love Porsches but IDK if I'd ever buy one. No V8. Their flat 6s are fantastic though.

This one has the 3.2L flat 6 with a six speed manual. Not a lot of power but its fun to drive, and its all analogue. He bought it for $2800 from his drugged out neighbor who lives with mom and had his license suspended for DUI. It was sitting in the sun so the paint was faded, and he had to restore the paint. Other than a few minor stuff, that was probably the bargain of a lifetime. He has another one with a 2.7L flat 6 that he fully restored, including engine

Nice, yeah those first Boxters weren't dragsters but absolute dreams to drive overall I hear.....

I've seen it 4 or 5 times. It's pretty good.

Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are both among my top favorites, I love GoT but season 7 ruined it and season 8 killed it. One show I would highly recommend to everyone....Severance. That show is a mind ******

Yeah I'm all for a nice V8, but not in a Porsche. The most important input device in their cars is the steering wheel, not the accelerator. And having a mid-mounted (in the Boxter/Cayman at least), extremely low COG engine is a huge contributor to that.

Even more opposed to it in the 911. I know there are a handful of LS swaps out there--because of course there are!--but having a honking V8 hanging out behind the rear axle doesn't sound like a recipe for a great car to me.
