[s-cars] Worthy projects (was Alum..was UrS $)

Paulie:
One of the few reasons I stayed subscribed all these years was to read your  
comparos and great stories.  Which brings me full circle to the point of  
agitating some of the bees in/under various bonnets here...  As we watch  miss 
piggy age, she's getting old.  She's still a great romp, and also a  great 
comparo to some of the responses to the previous self constructed S car  desires.
 
To wit, I drove a stock and a tweeked S60R in the last couple months.   300hp 
out of the box, 2.5.liter motor, 4 piston brakes front and rear, phenom  
handling, and with the decked out leather and carbon fiber interior, just  awesome 
cockpit.  A great qship for sure, and a real looker, and that GPS  rising 
from the dash:  Priceless  
 
Mike P has already moved to other toys, RX8 (er, not pretty trying to get  
out of the steamboat lot tho mikey), Cayenne...  Paulie jumping to the S8,  
Pizzo, well ok best stop....
 
What I see this list evolving to as miss piggy loses her attraction, is  some 
of the more seasoned tweeksters putting up the stories of 'other rides',  
compare them to the S if that is needed to stay on topic.  Frank A used to  do it 
here, and Paulie, I still await your next adventure in automotive deviant  
behavior.  Don't ignore the M5, or the S60R or the neu v8 series S cars,  
compare them to a known entity.  It doesn't at all diminish the mistress in  the 
garage, it can actually make her easier to justify a great romp in/on.
 
So Hap, Mike, Dawson et. al....  I encourage you to open up the mind  to 
accepting the reality that the days of Miss Piggy have given way to some fine  
machines that may or may not have rings attached.  My latest flogging of a  951 
reaffirmed my belief that the fun of quattro mistress is, the ability to  
critically compare all high perfomance machines at a much more educated  level.  
Why?  Because miss piggy all dolled up raises the bar high  enough to be really 
good at telling stories about what lies on the other side of  the pen.
 
No need to justify the dump of a college fund into Miss Piggy, IMO.   I've 
seen for years, still do.  Riding her hard, doesn't at all mean  it needs to be 
at the expense of a lot of good dancers on the floor around  you.  Those are 
the stories I want to hear.  And I'll be the first to  thank Paulie for the 
laughs in the process...
 
Just my .02

BwHA!  
I'm still sitting  here *loving* Scott "out of der closet" at the mere 
mention of "Scirocco!" and  full of recent inspired prose.  Someone else chime 
Scirocco again when he  ostrich's once more, yes?

Keep up the good work Scott…  great  reads.  Good to have you "back".  Don't 
go and ostrich on us again  now 8-).  You even managed to "out" a recently 
more quiet Hap.  Rod  next maybe???  Heh heh...
