*seriously, you better post some pics when it arrives!
I really really reaaalllllyyy wanted a 991, but it wasn't happening. By far the most well balanced car I have ever driven, it was amazing! The sports chrono exhaust=pure bliss. One day!

Would have loved the Cayman or Boxster but need back seats

Two reasons I got the DCT

1. Previous car had a PPG Dogbox, no manual ever can match the feeling of slamming gears in that thing. It was amazing. The M manuals are nice but it felt incredibly soft.

2. It's bad enough I just happend to mention getting this over dinner with the wife (did not go over well) I knew If I got a stick and she could'nt drive it she would light the car on fire while I was away on a trip. Now that she can drive it, I'm hoping she learns to love it and not want to divorce me

I have a Boxster. Love it. I will have to buy a 911 some day. I don't think I will ever buy another brand.

I was mad that I drove the 911. It was absolutely perfect.

Spirit Airlines Announces Ten New Exciting Non-Stop Destinations From Houston George Bush Intercontinental

MIRAMAR, Fla., Nov. 14, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Get ready to fly to some great locations and save a lot of money doing so. Today, Spirit Airlines (Nasdaq:SAVE) announced it will be expanding its non-stop service to ten new destinations beginning in the Spring of 2015. The new locations include domestic cities including Tampa, Baltimore/Washington, DC and Oakland/San Francisco Bay, and seven destinations in Latin America including Mexico, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua (International routes are subject to foreign governmental approval).

A map accompanying this release is available at http://media.globenewswire.com/cache...file/30231.pdf

"We're excited to offer our customers in Houston the opportunity to fly to and from these great destinations without having to spend a ton of money getting there," said Ben Baldanza, Spirit Airlines' President & CEO. "Whether you're visiting family or the great attractions these cities have to offer, Spirit's Ultra-Low Bare Fares™ along with Frill Control™ allow many more travelers to fly to these great cities who previously could not afford it."

According to Department of Transportation data1, on average Spirit Airlines' airfare is more than 40% less than other airlines. Even after adding some of the optional services Spirit offers, the total price is still 35% less. With fares this low, Spirit's customers spend less money on their flights and that gives them more money to spend at their destination of choice.

Ever since doing my initial at Colgan (Hobby Flight safety) & IAH (XJT) every time I think of IAH I get an ill feeling.......Maybe its the poor air quality, maybe its the Pick-up trucks with the Scrotums hanging off it (I guess kind of cool, lol) , maybe its the Roach Coaches, maybe its the 800lbs women with bleach blonde hair wearing T-Shirts that say "Dont mess with Texas", not exactly sure why, but I dislike IAH very much, lol

Ya, nothing about IAH appeals to me, especially the long layover hotel. I'd take LBE over IAH any day!

Looks like it. Off the top of my head, without doing any research, maybe MSP or BWI?
