djantlive - "how stupid". Uh, membership has privileges. I think it is nice that people who pay to support the site get some benefits over and beyond those who simply use it.

I refused to participate in that thread until Adrian posted, and then it was only to let him know what a fantastic job he did. The rest of the thread can be printed out and used to housebreak your puppy.

Why not step up and support this site then? I mean come on, if the starving college students that can barely afford their $5K used Porsche in some of these forums are contributing then NOBODY in the 996 forum should be complaining about a measly $18. Surely you have saved at least $18 on your car with advice you have gotten on this board, right?

The 911 won't disappear but they just might flip the engine forward......

I almost never use those rear seats anyway.

Hatchback would be a definite advantage.

T-top wouldn't hurt my feelings at all.

Maybe by 2011??

Friggen hilarious. I totally agree Riad--I started reading it thinking it would be an interesting thread, but it turned out to be a 928 versus 911 pissing contest. Don't waste your time.

The thread has deteriorated into diarrhea of the finger tips. At least Adrian chimed in with a little accurate history.
