       Have you seen the TV ad where a Dodge Durango SUV pulling a camping 
trailer finally gets around a Porch only to come up behind another Porch just 
as the road gets really curvy and the sign says no passing for the next 10 
miles?  A comment is made about being stuck behind another one of those 
again.  I liked it a lot.  And I think they were Porches.
       And then there is the old joke about the fellow hired to paint the 
back Porch, but tells the house owner that the car was not a Porch, but a 
Ferrari?
       And the difference between a Porch and a porcupine is what?  The 
porcupine has the pricks on the outside.
       And yes, I intentionally spelt / spelled Porch like an appendage to a 
house.

About a dozen Alfas and a couple of tow vehicles, one of which is an SUV.
