OK, so I'm in my new job and of course the conference room/lab I spend most of my time is already littered with Porsche mags and catalogs and whatnot. And while I'm in the server room some guy comes by the conference room who has a 911 SC and asked about my car, which my friend enlightens him about. My friend later informs me the guy got really snooty about 944s and stated that they aren't real Porsches, etc. etc. and basically copped a major attitude and spent a solid 10 minutes dissing my car (which he's never seen) because it's front engined and water cooled and so on.

So actually I'm pleased. I like to bring people down a peg (a hobby) and can't wait until he comes around and starts up again in my presence. I was wondering what y'all would say. I want this to be good! I can practice my delivery in the shower so it sounds spontaneous.

Howzabout: "Yes, we can run some time trials against each other this summer up at Brainerd and you can study the decal just under my tail lights, you'll see then a 951 is in fact a Porsche."

Or:

"Pulled out any head studs lately?"

Or:

"**** off."

Other ideas welcome...

Heh heh heh

How about "Wanna race?"


<img src="graemlins/r.gif" border="0" alt="[king]" /> = 951

he can <img src="graemlins/a_smil17.gif" border="0" alt="[blabla]" /> but can he <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" /> ?

Howz' about "yeah, those 911's are pretty cool... with the air cooled rear engine and sunny-side-up egg shape... kind of like the volkswagen from which it came, eh?"

Or "if all things evolve, and the 911 is now water-cooled, what does that mean exactly?"

I myself would never engage in such banter, but you are welcome to it

You could always say what my wife says to me when disgruntled "well isn't that nice..." [in strong cajun tongue]. If you don't know the joke, I can share it.

stick with the decal one!! my friend in his rx7 twin turbo tried to tell me my car wasnt a real porsche and highly overrated. so i ran him upto about 120. all he saw was tailights. he got out and was like 'that thing smokes a lil bit..doesnt it? (unburnt fuel)..i said..you noticed that? oh, i guess you were behind me the whole time werent you! not a porsche to porsche conversation but he has since shut up since then. and i believe he is know on his 3rd engine...

I know you don't want to hear this,Skip's right!! This DUDE doesn't OWN a PORSCHE and you're letting HIM put you down, how pitiful...You deserve what he gives you.....YOU tell HIM to GROW UP, when he can afford it.... <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

Depending on just how unpleasant you want to be....

"Been wearing that gold neckchain a little too tight lately?"

"Oh, so this *****-size compensation stuff is really that big an issue for you, huh??"

"Ah, the 911... linear descendant of the 356, which was based on the original VW...which was inspired by a 1930's Tatra... yep, some real sports car genes there, Bud."

"Three words...'Terminal lift-throttle oversteer....''

"Lawn-mower engines are air-cooled."

(My own feelings about 911's are not really this negative, but it sounds like this pareticular ***** deserves a good whack...)

Jim, not recommending anything here...

Luke

I would be real polite, and tell him you like his car. Later get him to go for a ride in your's. I garruntee he wont say a word after that. He'll be too embarrassed that he payed twice as much for half the performance.

What's the difference between terminal lift and trailing throttle oversteer? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

I took this girl for a ride one time and we ended up at the place where her ex worked. She had some other friends that worked there that she wanted to show the car to. While she and her friends were talking to me about my car her ex came out and started pissing about how my car was the biggest mistake that Porsche ever made. The guy had just got an s2000. Though I wanted to tell him off I said nothing.
That night I called some friends of mine. They went to the guy’s house and stole the wheels, alternator cable, and intake. A few days later we dropped the stuff off in his front yard. I could never hurt someone’s car, but I don't mined scaring the **** out of them to make them become less ignorant

adrial

Biggest mistake that Porsche ever made was saving itself from being taken over? Innteresting...some people are sofa-king wee-todd-ed

I think I woulda just raced him rather than rip **** outta his car though..hehe

Wow , remind me not to make you <img src="graemlins/cussing.gif" border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" /> .

Thaddeus, remind him how his car is a descendent of Hitler's Volkswagen, built by Jewish prisoners. (<a href="http://www.volkswest.co.uk/beetle_history.html" target="_blank">http://www.volkswest.co.uk/beetle_history.html</a>)

Or, if you want to go the rice/Supra route, challenge him to a dyno war .

Tabor

Kick him in the nuts.

Or pay a hobo to stab him.

bs

why do i get the feeling that tabor is having a worse day than I...

Tabor

bs,

Those are just my comical suggestions whenever someone I know is having problems. I don't really mean it. Actually I am having a great day.

Doesnt that suck?

yes, but tact is crucial.

In the shower no less.....LOL
You are so funny man...

nah! Too high and mighty.
However, I would be surprised if he took a race track challenge....If he doesnt even run at the track....you have fair game to 'garage queen', 'princess' all over 'em!

[quote]<strong>Or:

"Pulled out any head studs lately?"</strong><hr></blockquote>

save that for back up...or when you blow him away...its ok..I thought you suffered a head stud failure....need help fixing it...I have lots of time...my car rarely needs service.

[quote]<strong>Or:

"**** off."</strong><hr></blockquote>

Too harsh, fighting words.

[quote]<strong>Other ideas welcome...

Thad, once again, makin me laugh....I have to meet you some time.

My opinion...for what its worth...(you can wipe yer **** with it)...be the better man, no name calling...I would casually point out that Porsche stopped production of the 951 because it outperformed the 911 and Porsche made more money from sales of the 911.

You have to beat this guy at his game w/o stooping to his level. He probably isnt even a driver...hes probably a check writer.

good luck with the new job.

really low....

your mom said she loved my car and couldnt wait to go down in it again.... <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />
