    We will know if the towel has been thrown after the trade deadline.

    No one is suggesting to "intentionally" lose every game, but instead be realistic - we ain't winning anything this yr, so we play our young guys a lot more and see if they can improve and stop wearing our starters out. That will result in more losses and us keeping out pick - a plus, in addition guys like Meyers-Freeland-Barton-Claver get more time and we see if they have any worth or not.
    This is just smart and common sense, it does not create a losing culture, but looks more to next year which frankly should now be the focus.

    The Panamera is HUGE - it's a sedan, not a coupe. And if it's not big enough, he can always sit in the backseat.

    For a sedan, it's pretty badass!

    the Panamera is such a weird car. From certain angles, especially from the front, it's beautiful, but from other angles its downright ugly. I think a 140K car should be pretty from all angles. But I guess thats hard with sedans. But Jag, Aston Martin and Maserati all have gorgeous sedans.

    Yeah, that's true - it does look odd from some angles. But Jag, AM, and Maserati have all had some blunders - not ALL of their cars look good...Jag especially has put out some hideous sedans...especially over the last 10+ years. This is Porsche's first stab at it. For looks I'd probably go with the Aston Rapide, but the Porsche is probably the better car - and cheaper, but not as "prestigious". I thought it was going to be a tragedy when I first heard about it, but when I saw it it exceeded my expectations. And it's certainly better than both the Cayenne and Boxter. And it's a hell of a lot nicer than the multi-million dollar Ferrari station wagon:

    And I probably shouldn't even mention Travis Outlaw's ride...

    Travis' car was ugly as hell! The inside had an XBox and monitors...... looked like a space ship! But it made me look like a rapper! Feel free to use this as your new wallpaper.

    The way you're squatting in that last photo, you look more like a crapper than a rapper.

    I didn't know Outlaw was part Vato.

    Well if we're going to continue talking about Outlaw's ugly-ass car, we can't forget the airbrushing:

    I just don't understand why someone making millions of dollars would CHOOSE to own a mid-90s Impala (or any mid-90s American-built car, or really any post-1972ish American car).
