Bling!!!
I just like the way that sounds. Someone should write a song with that in the lyrics. I believe it would catch on quick.

To solicit specific advice from a 'lister, and then to bash that advice is just poor manners. As, you pointed out Brian, there is often more than one way to do a given task, and if the person disagreed with your suggested method, he/she could have done so in a polite manner and not bashed your knowledge and car. If anyone, after reading your saga and seeing your car doesn't think you "know what you are talking about" he/she is a moron--plain and simple.
I appreciate all the advice I get here--Rennlist allowed me to cease contact with my mechanic, tackle the tasks myself, and save $$$.
Brian--your car is sweet, and you are a heck of a nice guy.

The 924/931/944/951/968 Forum, due to the fact that you have a bunch of similar cars with purchase prices ranging from $1K to "the sky's the limit", has a cross section of many different members of society.
That being said, society as a whole (or should it be "hole"?) is becoming ruder by the day.
I have seen a big change in the posts here, especially in the last 6 months. I have a feeling it's only going to get worse.
I can only hope that your post makes someone think the next time they start to act like an ***.
Thanks Brian, take care.

It ebbs and wanes in the thankfulness....several new people lately that I've replied to have been quite thankful and I always try to treat others nicely and try to thank people when I get help (it's rare that I get pissed off enough to say something bad and mean it and I don't think that's ever been on here).
Unfortunately the relative anonymity of the internet makes it easy for people to forget their manners and act crassly when many of them may never do so in person (at least to your face).
And also fortunately many Rennlist members are thankful and helpful and kind.
And last but not least...if you ask for advice like this person did of Perry, at least be nice if you don't like it and keep your big mouth shut instead of acting like an idiot.

OOps. I thought he said fire...
I can say first handed if it were not Rennlist, 'listers, and true p-car evangelists like Brian Perry I wouldnt be here. and Scott Harrison. and Tifo. Wade, Andy, Danny, Pete, Harry, Paul, Jeremy, Dale, Michelle and so many others that make this debacle a community.
I have learned VOLUMES first hand from these people. They didn't HAVE to share. But they did. and Rennlist is stronger for it.
Brian- I'd be pissed. Harry - Take a rest and work on your 912. Dale- you have to practice looking more imposing. Andy- you da man. Tifo- Please.. take something- may I suggest a Tanqueray martini and a Macanudo?
It's always worked for me.
"If I wasnt pissed, I'd be pissed."
That may be a sigh of relief for some. "you need a favor?"
Rennlist mafia.

I value your advice and responsiveness. You contribute a lot to this forum. Do not let anyone else tell you otherwise.

Perry, there are a bunch of asshats on the boards. Ignore them. Besides, after seeing your car, I'd do it your way whether I liked it or not!

"Youse guys are an inspiration.. If I had half a mind I'd knock over a liquor store..I'd steal the good gin for me and send you guys the cash"
Did you mean assets instead of asshats??

yeah, taking the motor out from the bottom is actually MUCH easier than from the top and if you dont believe it then you should stick with camaros...no offense to camaros.
I would say for the most part your car is what we aspire towards, bling bling and all.

Sounds like you went out of your way to be a great guy 
I'm sorry to hear that someone was so rude to you in the light of such generosity and consideration.
But hey, I like your rims
Best Wishes,
Sach
