No offense intended. I thought the tongue-in-cheek nature of that post would probably speak for itself, but I'm often wrong about such things.

??? Bob, relax. The "expensive habit" you fear coming on has been going on since you got your C4S! The C4S led to the Cayenne Turbo S. Having these two around, now even your wife wants a Cayman. So relax. I'm sure you will just do as many track days as you can, maybe finally wear out those rear tires. No big deal. Then they come out with the 2016 GT3 4.0 RS, and you got your track, daily, wife and family Porsches. Everything's under control.

All my Porsches have been reliable, except for an oil leak on my 97.1 GT3. Porsche builds a reliable product and it's only the exceptions, like negative news, that we are more likely to hear about.
I'm very satisfied with my new 991 50th Anniversary -- probably the most fun I've had in a Porsche since my GT3.

I'm with you being so happy with my 911 that it makes me want to get on the Audi forums and complain about my S4. I feel like I'm driving on edge in my S4 due to the massive difference in braking.

Oh...did I mention I was driving my 991 today and swerved to avoid Kate Upton (who stepped into the road thumbing for a ride,) and I almost hit a unicorn?
Am I happy with my 991? You bet!!

My only complaint is that I don't drive it as much as I should!
I think pretty much every product forum is skewed towards complaints because if you're happy you just say you're happy, but if something is wrong you go into detail and follow up, etc and it seems like a lot more coverage.
The 991 is awesome in general. It better be too. There are some fantastic choices out there for the money. So far the quality seems pretty good, especially for a massive, borderline slightly revolutionary redesign.
Nicks issue needs to be resolved though, or Porsche deserves mass quantities of negative press. I'm watching it closely as I'm considering adding a second Porsche to the garage (Macan) next year. But if they can't/won't fix a leaky and smoky car there's no way I'm double exposing myself like that.
911's are awesome though. That is all.

Ex-Communists...
I had a ton of grief with my '92 968 bought new off the lot in a time when (I assume) German industry was still struggling to absorb an influx of complete bozos from the other side of the Wall. The only question was who was less competent -- the recent ex-Communists who assembled my car, or the good ol' boys in my dealership's service department whose loyalty could not be questioned but whose skills were a bit on the pink side.
