Let's see if I can help to mediate this dispute... I think what Ethan
probably meant to say was that a Porsche is an overpriced Beetle with
a bigger engine and a squished body, which you should be able to
demonstrate to him the next time that he's in your area. :-) However,
I have to agree that a Porsche is overpriced, as I've seen US cars
with even bigger engines and special handling packages, that cost much
less, leave Porsches in the dust at stoplights. The look on the face
of a Porsche owner when an ancient rusting hulk of a US automobile
embarrasses him by leaving him in the dust like that is quite funny to
observe. ROFL!!!
