Default Screw it, I'm getting a Lotus...

I'm tired of all this 928 maintenance stuff, it's time for me to get a nice reliable sports car.

91 race days, 18,000miles of street driving (and racing) no issues! (aside from a defective set of cams and a defective waterpump)
kind of hard to argue with that track record. probably the most reliable race car in the world

Yeah they have the scheduled maintenance alphabetized. Funny because I don't think I've ever seen one being advertised that said "This car has just had it's Q maintenance done, drive it home with NO WORRIES!"...

No kidding Mark? What year lotus are you referring to? Or did you miss the joke and your referring to the 928? Again maybe I am just really that weird, but I could swear my sense of humor is not all that obtuse... Is it???

I don't think people would be annoyed if the jokes were funnier.

Honestly I'm not trying to be a smart-***, I'm just trying to add a little off-beat humor to the forum. This is the best place I know of to find and offer help with 928 tech issues. But perhaps this is not the forum for attempts at humor. I paid for my 2-year membership on 11/05, I don't know why it is still calling me a "user", maybe someone is having a laugh at my expense, but I am still unable to get into the "Off Topic" area. I have contacted the member help people so maybe that is where I will be more at home for when I feel like being silly and leave this for serious tech issues. If so, My Bad!

I'm just grumpy because the "technical" forum is going to endure you for about another day or so before you're banned. Not quite clear what my age has to do with anything other than you're grasping and reaching for attention.

Still not funny, though. Good luck with that.
