RE: Train Hits Car-Carrier Full of Porsches

That has got to suck. Its one thing to have a car carrier hit by a train (not uncommon with the low underside of the trailer to get stuck on tracks), but a car carrier full of vintage Porsches?? Oh man, hate to be the one to tell the owners about this one.Chris Bogley

That definately sucks.But better a rackload of Herr Porches' cars than some vintage American muscle.

Ouch. Look at it this way. Some of the older Porsches are really ugly. Maybe it was an Act of God? My wifes uncle has a Porsche from the 70's. He let me sit in it. I almost needed a can opener to get out. They are definately NOT designed for six foot males with long legs. Heh.Give me a Mustang Convertible with 302 cui (5 Liter) engine any time. Cheers,

I'd like to get behind the wheel of one of those '69 camaros with a 427 in it. Those things were real beasts!

The best 302 was in the 69 Z28.

And I'm sorry for spelling "definitely" with an "a".
