And your watch goes very nicely with that Porsche, or does that Porsche go very nicely with your watch?
Well is like you said, it's a great combination...

BTW, there's a story out my way from years ago that a Porsche dealer in Chicago's western suburbs would take potential buyers out on the highway west of Chicago where the interstate runs straight as an arrow for miles and miles towards the Iowa border.

Of course, with such a long straight stretch of highway, it was very tempting for drivers to hit the gas and speed. So, of course, the state police frequently had speed traps out there.

Well, the story goes that this dealer would get the Porsche up to about 100 MPH and fly past a known speed trap. Once the patrol car started after them, he'd punch it and blow the cop away. Presto - another sale!

This story may be a local urban legend, and I would never encourage anyone to drive over the speed limit or disregard an police officer's instruction to pull over. Just passing an interesting story along.

Very interesting story, in my country you won't have that problem with speed limits in certain roads (the majority)

I hope you had a great time at the Porsche Roadshow.
I've been to Porsche Roadshow in Denmark couple of years ago, really fun!
Here's a pic of my fathers Porsche and my Evo in background:
