Neglecting your Porsche is a good way to piss it off... it fights back.

The first time I removed the starter on my car, the bolts were seized. I was lying down, yanking on the wrench, when the bolt came loose. The end of the wrench smacked my upper lip. Reflexifly I tried to get my head away, so I smacked the back of my head HARD into the cement floor. I jerked my head up, and smacked my forhead against the car hard. That was a nasty 1-2-3 combo.

I was working on a buds rx7 and he lowered the car suddenly onto my foot by acident and i was writhing in pain and agony and he was freaking out. I egged it on for about 7 minuts untill i told him i had my steal toed boots on...But yeah the 24s gets angry if i dont give it the proper amount of attention.

I feel for you man but that's hilarious. . .
I think it heard you talking about a turbo - these are jealous girls. You have to keep THEM happy individually and not talk about the others around them. I've figured this out. You can have more than one, even park them next to each other, but don't show any favor to one or the other or you'll pay dearly.
Most recent example: Changing the fuel filter on my 944 - I was under the back not wearing goggles (idiot move #1) just thinking to myself (I'll keep my head way off to the side and turn my head away when I finally pull on the wrenches to seperate the connection, that way I don't get any in my face". I tried it 2 or 3 times, having one of the wrenches pop off each time. Frustrated, I said aloud "geez, I don't remember the 951 being this hard". Did it again and the thing let go with hardly any effort - gasoline right in the eyeball.
They know.

hey do u all remember that recent thread about the bulge under the passenger seat? i think its a human brain somehow wired into the machinery, which allows the car to listen and react to what we say... im scared now.
