No, you will be much more unhappy the name I pick for with my
"christening"..... :-)

Maybe. Bing will certainly be a "has-been" as far as good looks go.

You know I wouldn't do that to ya...... :-)

I would like to see a company call a car a "whatnot", it isn't any worse
than "Ass-Tek" and a few of the other names that they have come up with.

Man, I know I haven't been around all that much these days, but you REPLACED
me?!?

In any case, I *am* feeling like an old dad, even to the point that I went
out and purchased an honest-to-god four-seat sports car...er, more of a GT,
really, I suppose, but as close as I could find. It's kind of an
"anti-Miata" of sorts, in that it seems to do everything wrong--fixed roof,
four seats, engine in the wrong place, wonky pedals--but drives like a dream
anyway. It's a '99 Porsche 911 Carrera 4, and it's what has been occupying
my time for the last few months.

Yeah, I'd agree with that.

Dodges, unfortunately, were the topic. Specifically the Demon, with its
awkward styling and evil name. Sheesh, why do so many think sports cars have
to be mean all the time? Is the Miata the only friendly sports car?

It is a harsh world, sorry man.... :-)

Cool, does that mean that the Infinity is gone? Wanna race for titles? ;-)

Yeah, I really like numbers the best, though miata is cool.

I don't like cars to share names with snakes, horses, or other animals.
Add supernatural creatures to the list.
Not a huge deal, just a personal preference.

Nope, I kept them all. I am getting used to the extra power, but that's not
why I bought it. I've always been more of a handling guy than a speed freak,
and the 911 is how far I felt I had to go to keep a sports car feel in a
four-seat car. I joked to the seller that I was probably the only guy around
that delayed the purchase of a Porsche because I liked my Miata so much.

I've never quite thought of it in those terms, but after some thinking, I
couldn't agree more.

The 911 is a nice car, it's too bad family requirements forced you to
downgrade..... <GD&R>
