I was concerned about rust so I'm using a wooden one but I guess plastic would work for that issue too.

Obviously that would be better, but I don't have a CNC machine.

i bought an imported IMSB made from LEGOs and it hasn't failed yet. Weird that the instructions recommended also switching from 93 octane to diesel fuel, but why would i trust my 996’s owner’s manual, same people who wrote it also also designed those headlights!

Oh darn...I forget the Johnny Irish dress code for making repairs on your Porsche. Or maybe it was "sit in the dealer waiting room and get served by the hot barrista and look at your fancy rolex to pass the time?"

Hello all, new to the forum, I'm shopping for a 996. Which is better, the 6MT or the Tiptronic?

And I heard that car color is important, are the silver 996s really faster?

Is there a “premium” option to have the drone do the install? You know...2 birds with one stone and all...

You found a silver 996? Must be a rare one off. Buy it before it gets away!

of course silver is the fastest color. Haven’t you ever heard of the silver bullet? Only a 6 time world champion. pay no attention to the fact that this is not a 996, or even a Porsche.



See the resemblance? No? close one eye and squint really hard.

If you only have one leg then the automatic is better.
