Every manufacturer have their stupid moments and unlike Tifo, I just can't resist the temptation to post on this thread. Some people worship a particular manufacturer and I think that's just rediculous.

I for one love porsches, but I also love old fords (see sig).
I would love to have a cayman S and a ford GT in same garage.
As has been said, there is no Uber-marque, everyone is "human" so to speak

Legoland, I have only been married about a year and my wife is saying the same thing. Now if I got a commercial storage lot to live on, my wife would probably bury me in it! I figure cars are better than a drug habit, although really not much less expensive.

The remaining 10+ in the street includes a 25 ft minibus towing a 24 foot enclosed trailer (over 50 feet and longer than most semis with a 40 ft container)and a Bronco with 16 foot trailer with a 944 (just a tad under 40 ft), which will not fit in just anybody's driveway in S. Ca (and yes I do have a 100ft+ long driveway). Ever since I moved here, no more ticket problems. Unfortunately, real estate here cost multiples of what they cost in Sacramento but I am sure my next property will be able to house more cars.

Some people worship a particular manufacturer and I think that's just rediculous. Try working on a Ferrari or a 70s Rolls Royce and you will definitely thank your Toyota engineers. Try rebuilding a twin carburetor smog monsters like an 85 Honda prelude.

Tifo, I didn't mean you worship any particular manufacturer as I was refering to the original post of the thread. I mentioned your post because I was trying to refrain responding to this thread and I wish I would only post something like what you wrote for your first post (though I am nowhere as creative as you - I often wonder how you think of those responses but I think its great). I know you are a car guy and I wish my turbo looks like yours when it grows up as your car has every "tasteful" upgrade IMHO. I tend to overlook the appearance of my cars as I like to tinker with the mechanicals of the car. Heck if I try to keep all my cars clean, I'd be busy everyday just doing that.

I have 30+ personal vehicles currently including over 15+ 944s (I lost count and would have to physically go out there to count them to find out how many I actually have as I acquire them like most people with cloths). This is why I no longer am partial to any particular manufacturer because I know from first hand experience many of the stupid things the engineers do ESPECIALLY the Germans.
