PLEASE STOP
...sorry, I was just channeling the 'girls' on the string.
None of them have chimed in lately; probably in the bathroom with the door locked, reading their 'special' Porsche 991 catalog. Trying valiantly to get the pages unstuck, just one more time. "...If only those Philistines horning in on our Rennlist knew how perfect you were, Precious, they'd understand! Nobody may insult our Precious...."

This is benign, have you been to other car forums? In any case, OP posted knowing full well how this will go, I don't think he is butt-hurt, or anybody for that matter.

Hey you, with only 471 posts: Who are you to dictate? Are you a moderator?? Why not just leave this string, if you're so delicate!

You NEVER answered my questions.
What are you driving?
Ever owned a 991?

This isn't a deposition, chief: You don't get to insist upon answers. Really, who the **** do you think you are?
Do none of you realize that NONE OF THIS CRAP IS IMPORTANT? AT ALL. Those of you are so lathered up about what other people think about your Precioussss need to get a life. Quickly. Borrow one from a friend, if need be. They are cars. Motorized vehicles, that are fun. But cars. I signed 114 death certificates in the course of my work last year: Trust me, I know the difference between important and not-very-important. This is the latter.
I've driven a 991. Great car. Excellent value, for $75,000. Not my thing: I prefer the 996, and intentionally skipped either a Turbo or a 997. Just not my thing. Feel free to turn up your nose at my particular vehicle, and go on and on and on and on and on about IMS, and so forth, if it bolsters your delicate self image. As for me: It's a nice car. Goes fast. Better than my 993; not as lovable as my 964. If it is stolen, or gets hit by a garbage truck, or bursts into flame in the parking lot: CAR. That's it. Has nothing to do with my personhood. You should maybe try that approach.
For your information, I've owned an S600, so I'm quite familiar with >$100,000 automobiles that aren't worth the trouble.
My 996 C4S is my fifth Porsche. My first, a 928, was in 1992. I bought my current vehicle because it gives me what I want. A pretty form of brisk transportation.
Have some kids. Take care of a parent with a terminal illness. Try a divorce---believe me, NONE of you know what 'flaming' is unless you've met my first wife. Lose someone to cancer. Then come back, and tell me how much all this s**t means.
You're right: Definitely not the string for me. You go on ahead without me, and discuss important things about your 991.

One small piece in my life, yes. I like cars and a small hobby and escape for me. Same with this board. I don't feel the need to dump my life's problems, blessings, and my personal business onto the guys on here. I just come on here to talk about CARS, get a few good laughs, and also meeting some great car enthusiasts. I've actually met quite a few guys on here who live in my hometown who I never knew before!! Have learned ALOT on these boards from other great contributors.
Let us enjoy our little car escape here without having to deal with "chip on your shoulder/mad at the world" Valkuri. Life is tough my friend, for you and everyone else here. Take it's joys and challenges in stride!
If you have so much going on in your personal life, what the hell are you doing on the 991 board?
Looking forward to life here "without you" as you've stated!

Do you have a beige interior? I've heard that the beige interior reflects a lot.
I have black in both cars and the only time I notice reflection is when I move from sun to shade. I went for a drive today in the C2S and focused on this and had almost zero reflection out on the road in the sun. The only thing I noticed was the ring on the SportChrono reflecting in the windshield, but again I was specifically looking for it.

Yes, this forum can at times be brutal but most times very supportive and informative. Most people who spend $100k + on, in most instances a secondary car, usually have hectic daily lives but I have seen numerous people on this forum go out of their way to help on a DIY, be willing to go out of their meet other members to share info or help on a car. This not the average car car forum but instead one filled with high energy, most likely high earning enthusiasts who take this type of car ownership seriously. Maybe to serious but serious none the less.
On to the thread. Some people go to jail for rioting and some for inciting riots. The thread was posted I believe to illicit some type of aggressive response, incite, and what do you know, it worked. I'm paraphrasing with liberties" I think this car sucks and I was a fool to buy it so you must all be fools too". What kind of response would anyone expect who has been on this forum longer than 1 week. This was actually a mild scorching not a full on flame like others I have seen.
My opinion, know what your posting, know the audience (I've walked into a few flames myself) and if it ignites, take it like a man or woman and move on.
