The previous owner probably can't afford the gas for it.

I understand that her house already had one. What she really wanted was a sports car made in Germany.

Geeeez people, you'd think that after 5 years of German in school that I'd be able to spell Porsche properly... Actually I'm gonna blame it on the 3 finger typing skills that I have  MikeS.

Obviously, he thinks that the Italian farewell word, "Ciao", is spelled "Chow" (sic). Dearfolk, My take is that he was informing us of what breed of dog he is. No wonder he has such trouble spelling and/or typing. Unbarkingly (I'm Part Cat Instead), The Purring Ort. in 30601. P. S. Seriously, and on topic... a waitress I knew a few years ago was tipped an old, beat-up car (that looked like sin but ran perfectly) by a regular who was a mechanic so she wouldn't have to keep taking cabs or the bus to work. It was a Mazda, if I remember, and continued to run without any serious problems for a couple of years.

Fellow Roadfoodies, my deepest apoliges I did NOT in any way intend to offend anyone was just relating a quip from a near and dear freind of mine who I admire and respect dearly. Just trying to add a little levity, thought it might bring a chuckle to the subject of tips. Of all the lables that someone might call a me raceist could'nt be further from the truth.This has bothered me all night knowing that I unintentionally hurt someones feelings. As for the Italian lessons, I speak and read the language fairly fluently. I grew up in a predomenent Italian neighborhood I was the fastest Irishman on the block. Other than apologize [chiedere scusa] I'm at loss on how to make this right. Essere dispiaciuto!!! I'm humbly sorry. chow [ciao] Jim

I removed a post that had a weak attempt at humor, and the flaming responses to it. I accept, for the group, Jims apology and want the comments to end here.

She drove to work in it Friday. It looks like death warmed over, but still runs perfectly. Still Topically, Ort. Carlton in Crazy, Man, Crazy Athens, Georgia.

Mr. Mayor, I didn't see your post before I posted mine. Feel free to delete mine if you desire... I just think it's rather humorous. - And if you think my post is funny, you ought to see the car! Unspeedingly, Ort. in 30601.
