"It's not that fast, but......"
 
Quote of the day. Pretty fun review by a well known on-line car reviewer

Great article. Thanks for posting it.

While we do not need convincing we own a special car, it is cool to read the positive opinion of the industry writer's. Kurt has a nice ride but it could use a Padkeeper.

Just an embarrassing number of grammatical errors and typos.

I have a condition where I get insane with rage if I watch more than 15 seconds of Matt Farah. It's called the "Doug Demuro syndrome". ;)

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a place to buy a pad keeper. The website has been "coming soon" since I've owned the car =(

Me too. I can never make it through an entire segment.

Matt Farah is definitely an acquired taste especially for older folks (me included), but you cannot deny his passion and dedication to the automotive enthusiast.

I've corresponded directly with Matt and Tom Morningstar in the past, they are genuinely good guys IMO.........:biggulp:

I dunno. The banter is a bit barf-inducing and he's late on every single curve. The ducktail trunklid without a grille is certainly a nice touch for this video. The owner who was looking for a 996 or 997, bought a 993 5 months ago and declared it his forever car sounds a bit odd, thought he seems like a genuinely nice guy. I'd rather he drove the car and talked about it, of anything.

Nice car Kurt, love the color and exhaust note, cool video. The Padkeeper is a nice quick solution, good quality and easy to install albeit a little pricey. To order contact David at cmrdce@aol.com.

Thanks, and thanks for the info!

It's a bit difficult to collect your thoughts before answering while doing this type of filming. None of it's scripted or anything, but you feel the need to answer quickly to keep the video flowing. Essentially, I've been lusting after a 911 for a long time, and decided on this one. It's not my first sports car, nor my last, but I do plan on keeping it.

The talking bit definitely isn't for everyone, but if you want more pics, here's a few.

Awww, c'mon...what's wrong with a little bi o' 993 love! Add to this that the vid was shot in my own neighborhood and I gotta love it! ...where's the like button ;)
:D

Especially when the questions seem completely random most of the time.

That's good. As I said, you sounded decent and brought normalcy to this "dialog". In my book a good enthusiastic and understated 993 owner is always an asset to the community. Despite the 996 comment :)

If I had gotten a 996, it would have been converted to a track car pretty quickly :cool:
