Thanks Phoebear611!!  Appreciate it

I am interested in that are, in part because of linguistic.  I grew up in Brasil and went to grade school in Brasilian schools, so Portugal is the old country smile.  I minored in Spanish in college and in reading some medieval Spanish, it seemed more similar to modern Portuguese than to modern Spanish.

Wild guess Gregg - something Cary Grant drove?

It has a 133” wheelbase and was not driven by Cary Grant.  If you know of a car that he drove I’d like to hear about it.

Enjoy your new F150 Raptor.

Install a 40” type E Rigid light bar behind the grill quickly for uber stealth lighting.

Thanks AAPLtrader.  I figured the dates weren’t public.

They won’t even tell you when they met in the past.  The only thing we learn is what decisions they made and it is usually months later.

I part of me hopes we don’t see a dividend this month and we get a nice 10% haircut to buy up a few more shares at a deep discount.

Regardless I think we will see big jumps in share price soon after when the iPad 3 comes out and then when they announce another amazing quarter of iPhone sales in April.

My target is 600 by end of the year but I am starting to think that is too conservative and we will see $700+. big grin

I bet Gregg’s new ride was previously owned by debonair actor Jackie Coogan.  big grin

That would be a nice car, but Jackie isn’t the one.  Guesses on the car is getting very close.

Gregg - how about another clue?!

It’s yellow.

Yes but in Galicia they speak “gallego” which is extremely similar to Portuguese so it’s perfect ~ you get a blend of both!

Yellow?

That rules out Ford’s Raptor.

The only thing that is 133” WB are certain versions of Ford and Chevy trucks and Mercedes SLs

But nobody in the right frame of mind would buy a yellow Mercedes, ‘cause it’s just not right.

Chevy had a really old truck going back into the 30s with a 133” WB.

I believe both the 1929 Pierce Arrow and 1940 Buick Limited Series 80 may have had 133” WB. Oh and this Buick is yellow!  smile

This may be one of the finest articles TUAW has ever produced.

Not always a fan of TUAW.  That was superb.
