Lol! That M5 vs. 911 thread got me banned.

Agree. This thing must have been stuck in middle management. It got big fast, so now they're busy covering their own asses and distancing themselves from it. It will sit there until someone on the exec team sees what's going on.

Haha! I was wondering what happened to you and then saw your name on here tonight! How are you man?

You don't know the half of it. After the first crazy thread got shut down just before 1,000 replies we started a second. Then it got locked right away. Then a few other guys started them then finally the admin just started a whole sub forum called "M5 vs.". It's the most active art of the whole board-lol! Our big thread is called "Dark Side-Light Side...I Don't Really Know Anymore" It's hilarious! Just keeps getting bigger and bigger. It's never gonna stop!

Whoever was handling this will hopefully get torn a new *******. Porsche definitely is.

This is now the number one video on reddit /r/videos with a score of 4945. For anyone not on reddit, this is a big deal.

Yeah, it's blowing up over there.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, found it on 6 speed.
"I emailed Jason Nelson, their manager of customer commitment. Here's his response. None of us (besides Nick and Jason) know both sides of this story.

Mr. Gois,

Thank you very much for sharing your concern. Since I cannot divulge the details of a confidential offer between ourselves and another customer I can only tell you that we believe we have gone above and beyond to provide Mr. Murray with what is fair, much more than what the law provides in his situation. He has asked for additional concessions which I felt were unreasonable and could not oblige.

Please understand that you are dealing with only one side of a story and I assure you Mr. Murray has left out a number of important details in his video. We take our commitment to our customers very seriously and we deal with every one of them in a fair and equitable manner. We step up to our responsibility when it is required of us and have done no different in this case.

Thank you again for reaching out to me directly. We stand at your service should you require any assistance with your Porsche vehicles.



Jason Nelson
Manager, Customer Commitment
Porsche Cars North America, Inc.
980 Hammond Dr, Suite 1000
Atlanta, GA 30328

phone: 770 290 3446
fax: 770 290 3583

I had to come back here to report this if it wasn't already said. This is insane and blew up way bigger than I thought it ever would. (Which is great! But WOW.)

Some user said that Nick bought "a Nine-A-Lemon." Haha!

Hmmm I wonder what he claims I have missed out. It is pretty straight forward.


I have not named names or given details because that would be stepping over the line. The offer on the table is money back minus a percentage for the miles I have covered. How much they take off is really what I am pressing them on.

Maybe that is unreasonable, but all things considered I think not. I have no idea what I would get if I take it to litigation but I think I will find out next week.

I'm about two months out from taking delivery of my first Porsche and someone texted me the Facebook "Recent Posts" link for Porsche with the message "You still want a Porsche?!"

I clicked it... saw a couple posts load... then my phone locked up. I've loaded the same page on my PC while my phone reboots and tried to scroll to the end of the posts... I'm still scrolling... holy moly this thing blew up!

This is blowing up nicely. Luv the grassroots effort.

Lets keep it going. Soon Nick will be invited to Leno's Garage.

PCNA has to be aware of the fallout of this by now. If just 10 people pass on buying a Porsche due to this, and I'll bet it's more than than that, that's $230k in profit loss based on average profit/car sale.
