Hey Llarry
How do you like your Macan GTS? I am thinking to get either a Macan S, GTS, or Panamera S, GTS here soon. I know they are both very different driving experiences, but the Macan looks appealing to me for some reason. |

One caution, though: Back seat room is minimal; I'd swear my M3 has a roomier back seat than my Macan. A long journey with four adults would be a stretch for either vehicle. A BMW 5 series or X5 is a more reasonable choice if you frequently have rear seat passengers. The other downside is what we call the "Porsche tax"; option prices are ridiculous, as is dealership service cost. Bring money.

Jeep graveyard in Okinawa, 1949; four years after the end of WWII.
Anybody want a jeep? Five bucks!

We had a '47 Power Wagon tow truck back in the early 80s when we were drag racing a couple of big block Chryslers. We used it to haul parts cars back to the shop. It was slow as hell but it would pull a mountain in low gear.
I couldn't find any photos of it (ours was kinda orange and not very pretty) so this photo was pilfered from the web thingy.

I had a relative that served in WWII in Asia Pacific. He said after they won the war and were enroute back to the US on the ship, they were ordered to literally dump tons of weapons into the sea. Perfect 45’s, machine guns etc.

When I was stationed on Okinawa I got my SCUBA certification. There were countless military artifacts to explore in the water there.

My Dad was in a Navy F8F Bearcat squadron that was on Saipan for several months in between aircraft carriers. The F8F was fairly new (this was 1946) and there was a critical shortage of tailwheel tires. As it happened, he related, the Eastern FM Wildcat used the very same tailwheel tire and there were dozens or hundreds of Wildcats on Saipan that had already been withdrawn from service. He went to the guy in charge of the junk pile and pled his case for some of those tires. The answer was no -- the aircraft were dumped in the ocean off Saipan from barges and had to be dumped with all components intact. Talk about stupid blind adherence to regulations!
