I've never owned a Porsche, and undoubtedly never will....but I wonder: What kind of snacks does one buy (and ration in case of an emergency) while driving a Porsche? I doubt if it would be anything with peanut butter in it. After all, that might stain & ruin the posh, hand made leather seats.

Anyway, I'm glad they survived. Imagine the horror of spending anywhere from $75-125k on a 911 only to be entombed in it. Even the most crooked funeral director wouldn't dare overcharge that much for a coffin.
