I freakin love this place.
  1. the characteristic spirit of a culture, era, or community as manifested in its beliefs and aspirations.
    "a challenge to the ethos of the 1960s”

@Justaroofer just because you are a character, does not mean you have character…. Mr.W

Lol. It's an internet forum. None is to be taken seriously.

I'm merely pointing out the fact the use of Ethos is incorrect. Even your cited Google definition shows such. Its ok though.

If we were to go around in circles on this I'm game, I'm just the characterless guy that at least understands how to correctly use a word. 😆

Carry on.
Here are some of your quotes in bold. The last quote was particularly entertaining and a great image.

I'll take grammar and vocabulary advice from Mooty before you google the word "ethos" and explain to RL. The last thing I would ever describe you as, is someone who "bites their tongue."
  • I'm exactly what Porsche wants. Someone who's young, has liquid income, drives the cars, and only wants highline cars.
  • Having done over a million in transactions with my dealer in just a year
  • On the S/T: R&D on this thing was essentially fuel amd labor hours since the parts were already on the shelf.
  • On the S/T: I hate to be that guy, but $500-$600k for such a boring *** car is just a travesty.
  • On the S/T: Limited to 186 is a joke.
  • I think the ST is vanilla as hell and the epitome of marketing. If calling something what it is offends someone oh well. At parties.... Im the observer watching others act fools and analyzing.

Lol, why waste so much time literally proving nothing? Thank you for all those quotes though, definitely sticky worthy if I say so my self.

So you don't like tone, gest, lack of annunciation, lack of me chosing to spell check on a phone, or my lack of tact? Which is it? Or is it all of them? Or was my lack of ****** to give offensive?

Still doesn't change the fact the phucking use of the word Ethos is wrong and I'm lmfao at the fact its such a big deal to some. Literally dying over here in tears.

Totally with you on this one for sure. Though it seems the precise target of the premium being paid today for the 911R. Would you pay $425-50K for the R? I wasn't offered an R, so I didnt have the chance for it at the time, but have recently pondered adding it to the garage, but the math is quite the same premium....

I just started poking around the forum when the R was released, and I’m in the wrong tax bracket to even consider it. I enjoy reading about the agony many of you suffer from each year regarding which 911 to spend half a mil on. 😀

It's a first world problem and then you have the agony of whether people will get PTS and/or CXX options which is the ultimate first world problem. At the end of the day, we are all very fortunate to own any kind of Porsche.

Thanks man. The S/T is my money-no-object dream car, and I’m far from being a VIP (one Porsche a VIP does not maketh). I decided to give it my all, and I’m blessed but I’m not made of $$, so I had to put more effort than most. Beyond stoked that it worked out, because the odds were against me.
