Buy my shit. On ebay.



as an addendum, i just got a couple of insurance quotes. Ranged from
~1k-$1250 /year, with the porsche being the cheapest through both
amica and state farm.  in fact, the porsche is $100 LESS per year to
insure than my saab (if i was to have comprehensive/collision on my
saab).  wtf?  either way, i thought ins was going to cost me a lot
more...
