In this article, PG makes the claim that "Even a child would think the Porsche 911 is a better design than the cadillac" Am I the only one who looks at these cars, and sees two quality cars, both with different design goals? I've driven a T

Stop blaming ADD. Even if it is related to ADD, this situation could not possibly have been caused by ADD alone. You know that at the crux of it, poor planning was to blame. Poor time management followed, and you screwed yourself. If you wa
