    I'm sure with a bit of hard work when you graduate you'll surely reach your goals.

    I myself have only been working for 5 years since finishing my design studies and will be buying my first Porsche (996 TT/GT3/GT2) after the new year - can't wait I've always said to myself I'd want to get my 1st Porsche before I'm 30, I've just turned 28 a few days ago so things have turned out better than I expected.

    "Carrara", as in the name of the Italien city famous for its white marble, as opposed to "Carrera", Spanish for a race or race track(?).

    Michaelangelo's preferred source of marble for its pure whiteness and freedom from veining.
