Hi my nane is David... and... and I bought a 996... please don't judge me it really is the best 12 year old Janpanese car I've ever driven! It even has power, heated seats... and REAL AC... and yellow seatbelts...... oh it haz lots of power too!


















But I'm still a man and ain't changing my underware for anyone..... err let's make that brand, I'm not changing my underware brand for anyone!





Ok, if L say so, then I am, but only cause I want too
