Quadcammer, I've seen your posts and your obvious love of the Ferrari comes through.
Growing up I played with both matchbox cars, and the only one I dreamed of was the Porsche. Now that I can afford both, it's still the Porsche over the Ferrari. I'm not a fool, a Ferrari is a thing of beauty, but it doesn't hold a candle to Porsche.
Also, I know these are just opinions, you got yours, I got mine. I'm just confused why you fly the Ferrari flag on a Porsche forum? Actually, I know why, you just love being difficult. There is a difference between being difficult and being different. I think you try to project yourself as different, when it really just comes across as being difficult and unbecoming.

Porsches are fantastic cars, and 993s in particular look great. But, as the ferrari guys say, and I tend to agree with, Porsches are the really lovely woman in the conservative outfit, and the ferrari is the stunning brunette running down the street in a nearly nothing dress, with 4" stilletos. Both are attractive, but looks wise, one sets your heart ablaze just a bit more than the other.

Can I call you Cammer? But your opinion is like watching someone sitting in a roomful of blonde lovers, telling them how beautiful a brunette is...
I don't think your point is made on this board and falls flat consistently, for the simple fact this is a Porsche lover board, not a Ferrari board. Most of us don't give a **** about a Ferrari or I'd just buy one and be on the F-chat board somewhere.
You seem stuck on a fence, in conflict with yourself, and in that you try to make company in your misery. Buy a freaking Ferrari and warm the cuckholds of the Ferrari boards.
Why don't you?

Jeff, if I may call you that, I like cars from all manufacturers, from ford, to nissan, to ferrari. I state my opinion, whether its different, difficult, or unbecoming. I'm not here to warm the cuckolds of porsche lovers heart...nor do I really strive to be be popular or loved on here.

As an Italian living in Italy, who ran and owned a car parts business once told me, a Ferrari is beautiful to look at, but if you want a sports car that works and that you can depend on, buy a Porsche. So I did.

Honestly, If you want to constantly pick a fight with a bunch of Porsche lovers, trying to convince them a Ferrari or some other car is more visually pleasing, or more fun to drive, or for the 1%'ers. Go for it, it's your time your wasting.
I wouldn't go on the Ferrari, Ford-GT, Lambo board telling them how their cars are sub-par to the Porsche. #1 because they don't believe me, #2 they don't care. It has nothing to do with not wanting to warm the cuckholds of Ferrari lovers. The only reason why I would do it is to be difficult, not different. That's my point, you're just being difficult. In reality you think your being insightful, non-conformer, sharing higher power grandiose thinking.
It's too bad, because I enjoy reading your technical posts and have learned alot from them. To bad the ignore button can't separate the two.

RT-- Major accomplishment to keep us photo hounds at bay 'til page four.
'Nuff said.
Rock-- Greetings from CO; been to UT many times & always found it beautiful.
I'm still a hack at climbing, though. I've rappeled off cliffs & from a helicopter, plus jumped out of planes, but that's been a couple years. However, just yesterday I was on the zip lines, etc., of a college ropes course, 70' foot vertical obstacles, climbing wall & all. As far as I know, I may have used some of your products.
So do those who trust their lives to your designs!
I dig your company's work, & the outdoors out-west lifestyle. Welcome!

I am not one to read long emails but this post is one I read every word. Loved it!
Now, where are the pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quad your comparison of the women I disagree with too, me personally I'd go with the librarian looking chick, leaves more to the imagination. lol
As beautiful as Pininfarina made those cars, and as fun as Ferrari built them, Porsche takes the cake. I love the 288GTO and F40, but Porsche doesn't forget what they're building. Constantly evolving a timeless shape and keeping it at essence a car, not a somewhat capable fashion accessory
Eh.....Broken record lol We need an Update Utah! Please......

...it's a totally subjective topic, right? Reddy Kilowatt
As for owning a Ferrari, the way I analyze it, is: would I have one if I had a net worth of, say, 50 mil? And if I have to analyze it that way, the answer suggests itself.

This reminds me of the story I saw on CNN a few weeks ago about a guy writing a book (I think it was in NYC) but posted it for free page by page on telephone poles and around town. People read a new page every day and were loving it.
Great story so far... is that red 993 TT in your avatar the one you bought?
And, are you a writer? If not, you should be.

And yes, the Turbo in my avatar is the one I just bought.

I relayed your request to the hot blonde. She was flattered, but blushed as red as my new 993.
I'll use my imagination from there with the unspeakable things you speak of

Yes, an awesome road. In college I arranged winter classes to be done by noon so I could ski and I'd tear up that canyon to Brighton or Solitude in my 914. Back in those less crowded days, I could usually go the distance with only three or four cars in my way... and even with the anemic power of the 914 I could usually pass them. Seems to be a little easier in the Turbo.

But hey, I want you to know that I'm totally opposed to gratuitous sex. I'd only bring it up if it's an integral part of the story. Fortunately this seems to often be the case...

We use a raw forging from Italy in a product we make for another company. It's produced by the same forging company that makes a lot of Ferrari parts. I tired to talk them into saving just one part for me from every run and smuggling it to us so I could eventually put a whole car together. Sadly, they weren't up to the task.
We've got a great distributor in Germany. When I told him I was looking for a Porsche, he bombarded me with offers to find one in Germany and send it to me. But they are wicked expensive there and everything he quoted was out of sight.
So if you, or any other Rennlister ever need some personal gear, contact me directly and we'll give you the special Porsche owners discount. Being in the outdoor industry, just don't tell my Green friends I didn't buy a Prius!
