Ed is not a fan of my puns or dad jokes, but I told him that #flatinthecurve was the best 2020 pun ever, and came up with a shirt to prove it. Help support my dad joke habit and pre-order yours using the link in the description!

“The car had a salvage title...”
Tavarish has entered the chat...

Doug: "..about 10 years ago."
Me: Oh, cool, back in the 90s, weird they'd have a photo on their phone from there...
Also, me: Holy shit, he meant 2010

One of the best Porsches ever released. No wonder they still sell for close to their original msrp.

I worked at an RV dealer like that, but it was on consignments. After their coach has been sold for well above what was agreed upon by us and the owner, our GM would call the guy claiming we have an interested buyer but the offer is well below that amount. If the owner didn’t agree the first time this lie was told, another call would follow a few days to a week later about a another phantom prospective buyer. Usually a second call wasn’t necessary cus my GM was genuinely an excellent salesman who could “sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves”.

The real question is, why is he sitting in his boxers?😂

Doug; “Almost hit an Elk just outside of Vegas.”
Me; “Yeah, ok.” Checks interwebs... “elk are as far south as Mt Potosi.” Who knew?

If only James Dean were alive to tell the story of his cursed 550 Spyder. That would be a VinWiki video for the ages. Good stuff, Doug!

"Never seen an animal skid before"
Bro, the second mountain north of Piles peak has elk and deer going down the roads and trails like they are delivering tofu at 3 am.

I had a beautiful Carrara White GT3 that I absolutely loved. Speaking of crappy luck, I got into a fender bender that required a rear quarter panel repair replacement and basically the entire driver side repaired. I decided to make lemonade out of lemons but, boy, did that snowball. Figured, might as well do RS wide fenders. Well, since we should repaint it to match, let's delete the sunroof with a carbon panel, one fender needs replacement-let's do racing cf fenders... Ended up with a very cool look with the wider RS body and fenders but I kept the taco wing. To my regret, I fell in love with a Murcielago and sold/traded the GT3 and a Gallardo for it. My current GT3 Touring ticks all the same boxes and I won't make the mistake of letting it go and will be keeping it as it ticks all the same boxes for me.

Last time I was this early, a giant elk was sprinting into the road and I swear to god I've never seen an animal skid.

Thats a lot of rust on those "ceramic brakes"

Doug Tabbutt's stories are the best, ngl.

Salvage title 997? No problem. Freddy's always up for a challenge and just a phone call away. #800CallTavarish

2005 I was getting out of the automotive field. Ya know what they say, if it floats, fly's, bounces or rolls, you're gonna have trouble with it!

[Cheseabluesdrogba]

There really is no substitute for a Porsche 911.. except maybe a "cursed" one

[fabulousprofound]

Huh. That GT3 was up here in British Columbia Canada where I am from... didn’t expect to see it here 😯

His version of CURSED and mine are definitely two totally different ideas. My version would have been something like the last three owners were killed while driving the car and I unknowingly bought it, parked it in the garage and the garage caught on fire, burnt to the ground and took the house with it but the car was fine. It sounds to me like he made money off of the car many times and had a good track weekend in it between one of those times.

This proves the fact that you don’t mess with Maineah’s and some of us wear shorts to everything... love it! Thanks Vinwiki!
