Renntag,

As much as I love the 924/944/968 series of cars, I must disagree with you statement about Porsche stopping their production. Porsche stopped their production because from 87 until 95 they sold less every year.

one you lift and the *** decides it wants to be out front.

THe other...you slip the rear tires and the *** wants to be out front.

same resultant...different methods of achievement.

I like to rip in my GTI, lift throttle...get 'er to slide then play with the throttle to hold the slide....fun fun fun. no crashes...yet.

Say "944s suck eh? Thats not what your mom thought last night" Then when he proceeds to diss your mom say "I dont have a mom, me and my dad (or son, depending on age) share yours". Then prepare for a fight and take Tabors suggestions to heart and either have the hobo at your side or wear a pair of steeltoes.

ps, I was just joking, I REALLY recommend not doing any of this.

He said that the 944 wasn't a "real" Porsche - tell him people who own Porsches and diss Porsches are not "real" Porsche owners. Act completely stunned by his attitude and act like you have NEVER had anyone badmouth your car and that it really confuses you. Make him feel like he is totally wrong in dissing your car (which he is). Or simply point out in a mature manner that his attitude toward your car really reflects badly on him because his owning a 911 should make him more able to accept the fact that someone else in the world may have a nice car. Tell him he DOES have a "better" car - but his low self-esteem and poor self-image is very sad - tell him he NEEDS his 911, cause with a 944, he would just be the same loser, but with less cover-up - he obviously isn't a big enough man to "stoop" to the 944 level. Tell him to personally call Porsche and thank them for building the 911 - because without that car, he would be what his is with it - NOTHING!!

Here are some less cerebral responses....

"The jerk store called and said they are running out of you" - (actually that is from that Seinfeld episode where George chases a guy just to say his comeback - thought I'd throw that in there for all the Seinfeld fans!!)

....now some real suggestions....

"Not a real Porsche?? Last time I checked the words Porsche were written on my hatch, engine and all the parts that have words on them - I guess ************ does cause blindness - I'm glad I never shook your hand".

"If you spent as much time as you do dumping on others car, on trying to find out what causes this lack of intelligence in your own head - you may actually become a real person, but that would require a "real" brain and seeing as your brain is in the back of your head, instead of the front, that isn't possible for you, is it??"

"You have a 911 - wow!!! Just like all the other guys out there with small weiners."

"I'd like to debate the whole 911 vs 944 thing with you, but I have to go find a toothpick so I can get your sisters pubic hair out of my teeth!!"

"Thanks for pointing out to me that my car isn't a real Porsche - I should have know when I bought it, it's just that big PORSCHE word on the hatch threw me. You better put out a memo, cause I know a bunch of people out there who need to know this - you know who they are, the people who helped Porsche set records in sales of their most popular model - you know, the people who saved the Porsche company's *** so people like you could buy a 911 to replace that personality you lost years ago."

"yada - yada - yada.....my car isn't a real Porsche, my car isn't air cooled, my car has the engine in the front - but at least my car is a PART of my life, not a replacement for not having one."

"Hey, why don't you shut the **** up before I kick your air-cooled, rear engine *** all over this conferance room - you 911 drivin', 944 insultin', need for acceptance, freak!!!"

"I'd say something bad about your car, but I already love myself and don't need to bring others possessions down to make mine look better -you seriously should talk to someone about your problem."

"Suck it!!"

"A 911??? Really?? Must be a convertable, eh? Well, it would have to be cause the BIG hair of the wenches, that normally wouldn't even look at you, sitting in the passenger seat. Does it have that 'new hairspray' smell???"

"A 911 - what, you couldn't afford a Ferrari?" That one should really get him cause I think this guy is a poser.

"A 911 - let me guess, your next car is going to be a Ferrari and then you can cut your small ***** off entirely??"

"HA - 911 adds up to 11 - 944 adds up to 17 - I win!!!" (and when he says that is stupid - tell him insulting your car to make his look better is also).

"ya - owning a 911 is like you getting an escort from a big "agency" and me getting on from the corner - you paid wayyy more for the same ride."

"Yes, the 911 is a very nice car - I drove one many times - I just liked the 944 better - kind of a personal desire, like your desire to wear that (pick out anything he is wearing that is ugly)."

....or tell him you actually went on this BBS looking for a comeback because you care sooo much for your car and it's feelings. Tell him you have pride and devotion to your car and no 911 owners comments can ever take that away!!!!

Before you do that check your pants. make sure youre still all there. if so then who cares.

In the future this should be your answer

Q: what kind of porshsche do you drive?
A: a grey -or red or yell or whatever one!

now watch their face and enjoy.

In the future tell people you drive an old import hatchback car with 4 cylinders and a stick.

Didn't realize people would get so worked up. C'mon, guys, this is going to be FUN.

Guess I'll just wing it.

I really liked the 'jerk store' one though. Funny.

Latest news from the Porsche factory.
[quote] We never built any front engine cars, and I don't think we built any air-cooled cars either. How do you like our current models? <hr></blockquote>

Didn't you hear? Porsche figured out (in the 90s) that if you want to make any real power, You need a water jacket.

i don't know what to say in this respect (the porsche disrespect), but the 911 owner has some real ignorance issues to deal with if he's insulting another porsche owner (which at that point has nothing to do with performance factors). just rememeber, if you dis him hard enough - you *still* gotta work with him, but on the positive side, a track date could come out of it, and then you could have some real fun and give him some grief.

Not that we didn't know this already, but the 951 IS NO JOKE. ---Nuff said.

"As with all current Porsche models, the engine in the 911 Turbo is water cooled."

Your response: "I guess neither of our cars are true Porsches: Your's is air cooled, and mine is front engine."
