You say you're upset with something related to Porsche and everyone loses their minds.

Cool. Another unnecessary, ignorant reply by someone casting judgement while claiming to have taken the higher ground. Seems like pot calling the kettle black buddy.[/QUOTE]

@CodyBigdog You should feel free to. As I am sure you can figure the Afrikaans sentence does rely on him having a good sense of humor and while I won't generalize most South Africans do. I know I would get a good chuckle out of that if someone said that to me in the middle of the US.

I have, but a colleague quoted that to me before I heard it on Ted Lasso. Love that show :-)

And I used to live in Richmond, close to the green and where they shoot those parts of the show. I’m pretty certain I had an acquaintance who actually lived behind the 9 1/2 door (that Ted uses to enter his flat).

Sorry—I’ve totally geeked out about the show :-)

Very cool. Wife and I love the show, on our second go of the first season already.

Yeah, but later in that poem he also writes:

“I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness, I can wait.”

I still don't understand why it's such a big deal to want transparency and have a soured opinion on Porsche yet enjoy the car when it arrives. You all need to get off your high horses lol

I don't think you get it. We don't care that you're sour - you've made that point and you're not going to change - we're just tired of hearing about it. Fine, you're sour....how about being quietly sour? Save your posts for meaningful conversation.

Oh yes for sure. That's been one my main points - this happens across all brands. I don't think there is any evidence that this happens more often for Porsche. I frequent multiple brand forums and you see few EPA delays across all brands a few times a year. This is not a particularly bad delay. 2018 E63 sit at port for 6 months.
