Just killed a Porsche 944 Turbo

Pulled up to a stop light today and noticed someone eyeing the L. I look over and see 2 guys in a red 944 Turbo. Light turns green and they take off so I give the L 3/4 throttle and proceed to pull 2 lengths on them up to 60. Had 2 ammo cans of 12 gauge shells in the bed so I couldnt completley annihilate them. Figured if I couldnt blow them off the road with the L, I could with the Winchester Defender. j/k!

I love spankin' them high dollar sports cars myself,gives me a woody!! Hey dude, get an upgrade on that winchester defender!!
I had one of those that had the black synthetic stock and foregrip,it was a nice gun. Finally traded it in on a Benelli M1 super 90 with pistol grip!!As fast you can pull the trigger, it'll shuck 'em out! But on second thought, @ $1000 Id probably upgrade the L first! LOL!

A 944 is not a high dollar sports car. They were S L O W, and also labeled the "poor man's porsche".

BfB-yeah, I know the 944 isnt a high dollar porsche like the 928's or 911 TT's, but most guys driving them think there bad a$$. Watch out for those new mercedes SL500's. Ran one the other night, they're quick! But the L took him non the less!

Skank: Those Benelli's are sweet. A buddy of mine has one. A high-quality piece. No mods for the Defender though. It's the peacemaker of the house

The defenders make good peace makers. Nothing like the sound of a 12 ga. racking a round into the chamber!! It would damn sure make me una$$ a home if I were robbing it!!

I had a fun run with a convertible sl500 also... he had pulled along side of me and yelled out "hey, thats a really great truck, wanna show me how fast it is?"...so I obliged. He kept up about 1 car length back (I got the drop on him) until 110, then I guess he shut it down because I pulled away quick up to 125. I slowed down and he gave me the thumbs up and a wave, then I took my exit.

Pawn-sounds like ya had a good time. The one I ran was a white convertable that still had dealer tags on it. I saw him up aheah of me hot doggin' it, so I just had to get up there and play. It was an older sophisticated type dude with a young hottie on the passanger side. He looked at me and kinda smirked, then throws a rev. at the light.(I was really too busy checkin' out his girl to notice him that much anyways, she was looking and smiling, so was I! LOL!!) I raped him off the light about 3 cars,but not as much as I was expecting! We ran up to about 80 before the next intersection and he was still 3-4 cars back. Pretty quick cars! But still, I handed his $90,000+ mercedes its booty in a $30,000 truck! Man, what a rush.

Don't knock the 944T too much...

2 years ago I sold my 944 T, after putting 140K miles on it. I loved that car. Much like the L, you could easily tweak it with a computer chip and other bolt ons. Mine weighed 2550lbs, and made 300hp. It lagged quite a bit, but man, when you got the turbo spooled up, hold on! The kick was incredible, and made up for the lag. I ran 13.1 with no spare. On the downside, it was very fragile - I broke (yes BROKE) 2 lower control arms, and was always fixing stupid little things on it. But hey, for 140K miles, and a total investment of about $12K, it was pretty decent. I still miss shifting the gears.

01BOLT-They have made armor piercing a big deal because they dont want anything on the streets that will penetrate the body armour law enforcement officials wear. I gaurantee you though, if they get hit with even a lead 12 ga. slug they are gonna get a few broken ribs and bruised all to hell.

01BOLT- Sorry dude...I'll agree, alot of people could be dangerous with silly string!! LOL!
I work with a guy that drove to Tennessee to buy his L just so he could get it on the x-plan! I think the name of the dealership was Crown. Is that anywhere near you? Have you thought about chipping your L? Mine runs alot stronger with it. Then again, I know money dont grow on trees.

My brother has a mossberg that chambers 3 1/2 shells! With a 3 1/2 slug or buck shot it damn near rips your arm out of socket!!! That thing kicks! He loves it!

He's lucky he got in and out w/o any problems. I'm in a law suit with crown right now, about my lightning. They have terrible customer service and even worse service department. There are several local L owners besides me who can attest to that.
Sorry for ranting, but every time I hear about that dealership It almost makes me want to handle my gun like I drive

WOW! Small world huh? That was the only place he found to give him the x-plan. He rented a car to get there and drove the L back! I laughed my a$$ off at him driving that far,but he's the type that would go alot farther than that to save a dollar.
My granparents live in oakridge. Nice country up there. Just wish I had more time to visit them.

LOL! Yea, that bruise would do more than linger!
