...so the wife says, hey, the UPS guy just delivered 4 boxes and he said that they were wheels. I said, yes dear, they are Kinesis Supercups for the Porsche. ...so the wife says, where did you get the money for new wheels? I said, the same place we got the money for the new $3k refrigerator you had delivered last week. ...so the wife says, oh, yeah, they look really nice!

TIMING is everything!

Great analogy. I also spin but never as good as a flat 6.

The iPod does hum but if you load it with music files it sounds a lot better.
And the motor does hum but if you load it with a Fister Stage III it sounds a lot better.
Happy Holidays

How about this one....my Ex-wife, takes a couple of rides in my C4S, drives it a couple of times and says to me, I'd like to learn to double clutch.....I said, "In this car"?.......she's a great woman, remains a life long friend and tomorrow we head out for a Christmas Day drive to Prescott, AZ, up the backroads for late breakfast, a bloody mary, and the outstanding trip home....doubtful that she'll be practicing her double clutching tomorrow.

Harry, a Ferrari might compliment your RS but don't even think of replacing it.

My wife said to me last week "why not treat yourself to a newer 911 as you've worked hard"...best dang Christmas present I've ever received!

I wanted to join you all in 993 ownership but the allure of a newer 911 proved fatal. Merry Christmas all!

And you lucky few with the wives that understand, good for you...

Have you guys seen or heard this recent thread?

https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...ly-stages.html

or this one, I know I know... but if you love the sound of engines/exhausts, you can't ignore this one
