Would it serve me any purpose to insult any RListers cars based on their non OEM mods over the years, pretty simple no.

Fair enough, some commentary is deserved whether positive or negative. The recent comments about the bumpers inadequately cooling the braking and engine system, well yes make sense and very valid point.

Maybe some of us just expected a bit more maturity from RListers, as opposed to cheap, ridiculing, BS one liners. Last time I checked we were in a 911 enthusiast forum, not a Miata or Civic forum full of high school chics that are wanna be tough guys behind a keyboard.

Yup. It's easy to be tough from behind a keyboard. As my mama used to say, if you can't say something nice...

Welcome to the drama that is RL. I spend a lot of time here reading but all the BS and immaturity is a big reason why I do not actively participate on the board as much as I used to. The 993 forum is the worst of all the forums I visit. Go figure.

Some of us expecting a little more than glue-on tuning and funny stickers from RLers, but do you see us complaining? No, instead we are celebrating the pinnacle of thoughtful design that is RWB for the last 195 pages here.

PS. My personal "ridiculing, BS one liners" are not cheap. The moment I find ways to monetize them I'll let you know the pricing, but rest assured it's not going to be inexpensive. Especially when RWB is concerned.

PS. Miata forum full of high school chicks. Great visual, thank you.

the deeper question is - does he put sticker on undertrays? We've recently learned that underside of his creations are periodically exposed by jumping off the tow trucks and Japanese design is all about completeness and congruence.

Well to keep this pinnacle celebration going on for more pages just to really emphasize what the the forum is all about, no complaints on my behalf, it's really all great entertainment.

After all, why complain when we can now exercise expensive one liners, now officially upgraded to paragraphs just to stroke the opinionated RL ego. Entertainment at its finest all, especially coming from now a funny guy, big shot, sitting behind his keyboard. When you monetize them, RWB or not, gladly send me a bill.

And your very welcome, there is no charge - high school chics (fat or not) in Miatas, it's all about freedom of expression up here too.

Seems to be some slight fixation with that "behind the keyboard" issue, no?

Let me know if you need some stickers sent over.

I believe there is a twelve hour hand welded flaring of the undertray performed before the tray is discarded.




And please, for those who can't stand to see one 'lister criticize the decision to take a pristine 993 (instead of a car that needed paint, etc.) and cut it up for this purpose, please, get yourself another box of tissue. When an OP says "hey, what do you think?" don't complain when people say what they think.

Nope like I said just great entertainment.

Throw some hot shot one liners my way, it's much more valuable then some RWB stickers.

Who is a the "real" porsche guy ?
The rich one?
The porsche design one?
The car and coffee one?
The collector one?
The daily driver one?
The DE one?
The racer one?
The pimp my ride one?
The air cooled one vs the liquid cooled one?

or the one who respect others?

Peace!

Plenty of Miatas out there will run circles around 993 drivers.

My sig says all.....

"There are many ways to skin a cat and many tuners to modify a car. Ones own vision of modifying a car is not another mans vision. The best thing about ones own modifications is that it shows their own taste and personality. Everyone is different. Its hard to accept, but like people, everything has a place in this world.

And opinions……. well, there like ******** and everyone has one……. who cares…….. Have fun, enjoy life, and do what makes you happy. "


Criticism is criticism......

If this were my thread, id be honored that you even took the time to look and reply
