Are you having trouble following your own arguments again? You pointed to 2 posts to counter the argument that you were an angry troll. I directed your attention to one (and I had the choice of dozens) recent post that shows you are. Let’s try to keep with the program here Clarence.

Per my post #72, if my post was aimed at you, you would know it. I would have quoted your specific post that I was questioning. I didn’t, so I wasn’t. You presumed something that wasn’t true.

But this wouldn’t be the first time the ambulance chaser has made erroneous assumptions about others…and not just me. Some “lawyer” you are? 😂

No troubles. I’m actually enjoying your diatribe. By the way, is all this considered “billable hours” you charge your clients?? 😳

You continue to demonstrate your ignorance. You know that there are many different roles in the legal profession. I neither litigate (as a plaintiff) not do I bill clients by the hour. Not that there would be anything wring with either as there are lots of respectable people that do both honestly and successfully.

But at least we continue to establish your position as the Big Angry Dog.

…and yet, the ambulance chaser likes to result to personal insults. Big man.

Keep racking up those billable hours with your drivel. Love it.

You are actually closer than you think. While I have never sued anyone - in my personal or professional capacity - I have been a member of my volunteer ambulance corp for more 20 years. So more an ambulance driver/rider than chaser, but thank you for acknowledging that role.

OK, on that positive note, I’ll move on so the MODS don’t lock this thread. ✌️

I volunteer at Meals on Wheels 3 times per week…bringing meals to poor/elderly/handicapped people. We all need to help out where we can….and no, I don’t take the 911 while delivering meals. That would be in poor taste, IMO.

What could be underwhelming with an 11-second 1/4 mile sports car that is great on the track and picking up groceries at Whole Foods?

I can't argue the sound because I haven't heard them side by side, but the S and 4S run an 11 sec 1/4 mile. The GTS runs a 10.8. Where in the real world can you notice a difference in "power delivery?" Just curious if you are also arguing for the PDK since it is delivering power better than the 7MT?

@CodyBigdog @Drew46 Okay you two. I will be blunt. Stop this now.

You are both annoying the crap out of everyone.

Stay on topic. You are both officially warned. STOP.

I'm not saying s vs gts. I'm saying any turbocharged 991 or 992 variant lacks with sound and the driving experience suffers due to all the power delivered in the low rpm range. I would take a NA varient any day before the turbo variant...

I thought we did? Drew in his post #112 and me in my post #113. I think we both have moved on.

ahhh ok I got it.

I think I understand what you mean. I test drove a NA 997 manual a long time ago and the aural sound from the engine was blissful. I test drove a 992 base Carerra with PDK last month the sound was more muted, tamer, more civilized than the 997 that stirred a passion while I drove it. I wrote my test drive off to being 1) a base model and 2) a PDK. But I definitely drove home longing for the connection I felt to a less refined, more uncivilized pre-turbo engine.

My two favorite cars that I've owned were a 2000 BMW M5 and a 2011 Audi S4. Both were manual transmissions and both ran the 1/4 mile in about 13.3. They were fast enough to get me thrown under the jail if the cops pulled me over. Owning a 443 hp 911 that is more than two full seconds faster than those cars blows my mind. I guess if speed was the only criteria for buying a sports car, we'd all buy Taycans and Model S Plaids. I'll take my car with a little less civility.
