You can relate it to any with the same numbers. Everyone knows about the relationship between a convienent store and its owner(simpsons?!?). Just think about it, 7-11. That is another important date in that fiasco.

I have a friend with a birthday on 09.11. She is stuck with it no matter what. Now that blows.

You know, I just think it sucks that people will think of the incident in NY on 9/11 when they think of the Carrera.

well, I relate to 9/11 in one way. I wrecked my Protege the day before. It was the day that changed the rest of my life. 9/10 I fractured my hand and had two surgeries since then. Yes I made a claim with my lawyer.

I'll remember it by having to walk 65 blocks in the damn heat uptown into harlem to catch a train to get out of the city, where my friend drove me to my parent's house here in CT just so I could take the train the next day back to my apartment in brooklyn. That was a terrible day and too see such a sight in person made it even worse. 110 students from my school alone lost their lives. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

I am a little drunk and I still think that observation is damn near retarded. After I drink some more maybe it will seem halfway intelligent.

this is the first time i have ever heard september 11 related to the porsche 911s. pretty stupid if you ask me.

and the 911 turbo/gt2 are the only REAL porsches, the others are just for the wannabes.

my birthday is on 9/11 but whatever.

Hey BrotherSound, what's wrong with stereotyping? Like them or not, they happen to be true most of the time, that's how they came to be in the first place. If you don't like the stereotypes that typify your particular religion, race, creed, or whatever you are, then instead of pointing fingers at me, or whomever may be using them, spend that energy on NOT acting/looking/talking/doing those things that are stereotypical.

Look at it this way, would you like people calling you offending names becuz of something you do because of tradition or religion, like wearing turbans.. stereotype all you want, I could care less. but all I'm saying is try to be less offending by using silly terms like "Towelheads"....

done

Stereotyping is ignorance. You must be a highschool student from the burbs. Say that in the wrong place and you would get your *** beat.

yeah you really showed everyone your intelligence with that comment,.. here's an idea, instead of calling them dumb names you make up, Just call them what they are.. indians, persians or middle easterners.. no one ever said a turban was a hat, its clearly not.. so just call it what it is. is that so hard?..

AR's right, You must be a highschool student from the burbs, and you haven't learned that diversity is one of the things that makes this country great!
