Very. His 964 transformations are masterpieces with countless hours spent on the finest of details. The one I drove was an absolute monster and by far the best handling air cooled Porsche I've ever had my hands on. They almost never come up for sale on the used market and the cost new is in the stratosphere.
Here's a pic of the engine in the one I drove...

Just driving one puts you in rarified company.
C'mon! Just pick up a used 964 and drop it off with them.
You know you want to. Just make sure you get the 4.0.

What's with all the lumps of dirt in the background. Nothing like that in FL

LOL - I'm sure I'll take a ration of poop for this but that youtube clip encapsulates everything I detest about Soccer. Biggest bunch of high paid pansey ass drama queens in professional sports. Yes, it's a rough and tumble endurance sport with occasional legit and painful contact, but the "throw me a flag" drama queens have completely ruined the credibility of the game. Might be interesting if the refs reviewed "injury" replays after the game and required those obviously faking an injury to wear a tootoo in the next match. That way at least the fans would know who to laugh at when they're flopping around on the ground.

Actually, if I were head of the rules committee I'd implement a new rule - if your ass is hit so hard you feel the need to roll around on the ground looking for attention then they should (in the name of player safety) remove you from the game with no substitution for a minimum of 10 minutes and then allow you to return once the sideline doctor has released you to play again. That would change the entire dynamic (and strategy) of the game. Of course it'll eventually evolve into something nearly as rough as Rugby, but at least they'd be paid good bucks to fix all those injuries and the fans would actually get to see some blood with all those alligator tears. JMHO

Your absolutely right on all counts, if it were up to me I would make pro soccer a full body contact sport.

Full contact with the other players, and not themselves.

 

[ProgressiveDoom]

Wow! I thought those guys were s'posed to be tough?!

Nope, your thinking of hockey and rugby players

 

[GonePlaid]

Now that I think of it, we have lots of those-Mt. Trashmore, 1 in every county. Terrific Bass clarinet solo in that musical masterpiece. (I played BC in HS)

More window shopping. Certainly is expensive, But beautiful.

Gibson EB-750 1991 Natural | Scotty's Vintage Guitars

The booger on the lip of the Mona Lisa, is the active electonics

When I see that bass... I want warm, vintage, dirty, passive tone (of course, that's what I want out of ANY bass)

And up to very recently no instant replay. People would take dives in the penalty box unseen by the ref who was far away, get awarded the penalty and win the World Cup? Bogus....
Just like FIFA (they should be dissolved) wants it, keep the power and fairness with the refs and not the rules. Loads of money to be made in soccer if you know what you're doing...

That is breathtakingly gorgeous..drooldrool

Take a guess - he usually wears polyester. The main thing in that picture is the EB-2. That should be a dead giveaway.

... bit of a disappointment really. Yer not the hideous, lanky, goon-beast you made yerself out to be

Nah... they just wanna look that way for their mums

Agree!
Funny thing is, there's supposedly 22 highly paid, supurbly trained and eminently capable players on the soccer field at any one time. You could randomly pick 22 male fans out of a typical rowdy soccer match and I'd be more scared of them than the players.

I never got a chance to play Rugby but I was very much into American football (wide receiver). My position wasn't a particularly physical position (although I did get plenty of massive hits) but I can't tell you how many times guys on the line would get a broken nose or broken finger or toe and never even miss a down, they'd suck it up and play on, hopefully with a chance to get even.

There are some brutal sports out there - MMA, Rugby, American Football, Boxing, etc. Soccer just ain't one of em, and was probably never meant to be, so I just wish the prima donnas out there would call it quits on the field and instead take their acting talents on stage.

I'll spring for the 964 if you can gift me about $300,000 to cover the cost of the Singer treatment.

Of course one could just as easily (and for less money) buy a GT3 that would kill the Singer on the track.

Yet it remains by far the most watched sport. 65 million watched the Super Bowl last year.
More than 3 billion are watching the World Cup..

That picture doesn't show the grass stains on my knuckles all that well.

I was going to say, he looks just like you - but dresses better

He's my evil twin who washes behind his ears.

What affect does that have (beyond the concern of how to accessorize)?

I love a great soccer match but everything goes down the toilet once this panzy shytt starts happening. I would say soccer should be for the ladies only but even woman cant fake it like these guy's. Im still talking soccer here ok . Ladies play rugby for crying out loud!.

Good question. I don't know the answer. Unless it's that longer arms make playing Thunderbirds pretty much a requirement.
