Is it your avatar image that is causing certificate warnings every time I load this thread? What's up with that?

Cheers

I really have to agree with tanstaafl. The "purists" are the same people who became upset when Porsche started building water-cooled 911 engines (i.e., "the 993 was the last `real' Porsche") or who couldn't stomach the thought of something as pedestrian as the Porsche 944.

For somebody who's in the market for an insanely overpowered sportscar and doesn't mind spending $120K, there are very few choices and Porsche is, far and away, one of the best in terms of just about anything you can measure. As long as that market continues to exist and Porsche continues to serve it, then who's to complain? Anybody who buys cars as an investment or as an ego-enhancement device is only setting themselves up for disappointment.

This is a pretty old thread that got bumped up, he fixed that by changing it a while back. The database saves people avatars with the post, instead of pulling it live from the user database every thread view.

perhaps ... try loading the image src directly in your web browser ... if it's the problem let me know and i'll remove it. i don't even get to see it due to my firewall anyhow.

Ahh.. here it is.

The link here from ithoughti's posting to something from secure.area49.net --> big long pause, then I get a security certificate warning every time. Definitely this post (the one I'm replying to, in threaded view).

No, Lambo did.

Lambo also made a very expensive SUV that no one seemed to mind. I think the Porsche SUV is pretty cool, looks a hell of a lot nicer then any other SUV and from what I hear has what it takes under the hood, out performs and out handles just about every other SUV on the road. I think the handling the engine and everything about it pretty much states Porsche IS on track, now they dominate the SUV arena.
