Nah, Bruce is cool, but fun to mess with. I always like to read what he writes though.
Matter-of-fact, I think i'm pretty much cool with everyone on Rennlist...well except Ben, but that's just cause he's the board villain who's fun to "hate."
Bruce, check my spelling, k "sport?"

I'm in a McRib network, and we notify each other on any McRib-rumors.
(With apologies to Mr. OP.)
Here's some Mac trivia:
I put my Windows taskbar on top (where it should be).

I like to stir the pot sometimes, but it is in good jest only...hope everyone gets my very dry sarcasm.
Still coupe, but my next is a Cab. And I'll also have a Cab tonight for dinner.

I'll take Ben's strong opinions most of the time over the "pat me on the head everyday, I'm a porsche guru" types. But, it is a little micro view of the world, isn't it. I like everyones input, because sometimes you need a strong opinion on cool wheel fitments and other times on proper set-up for the track.

I like that you both have a passion for slinging words on the internet + stubborn about it. ![Big Grin](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I'm no expert, but...
iMac? Macintosh computer/server penetration/growth/share is pretty flat and has been for quite a while now. It is the iPOD that catapaulted them to where they are at today. Yet still their hardware sales are flat.
This is coming from a guy who likes Windows Vista and OSX.

Just because I don't want you to think I'm a total moron.

Yeah, I think Ben is more willing than a lot of people to say what really needs to be said sometimes. In my short time here, I've noticed how "dangerous" it can be to veer off from the herd, and that kinda sucks, because I like to hear everyone's ideas, even if they're wrong. ![jumper](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/jumper.gif)

I drove all the 996s (except the GT's), the Boxsters and a few BMWs and an Audi. I couldn't decide whether I would go for a coupe or a convertible. I drove all the convertibles, the Cab, the M3 convertible and the BoxsterS. Then I drove all the coupes, the M3,M5, S4, and wet sump 911's C2,C4/C4S...I later drove a TT but insurance here in NJ and gas consumption convinced me to wait on the dry sump Pcar. I still think this is the best value though especially now that a TT can be had below $60K.
The M3 was just plain diluted and felt like a wet noodle in drop top form and the 911 Cab's front end lift in a strong highway cross wind really put me off. Someone remarked that the Cab looks like a bath tub with a big butt. I got his point, it seems if you go for a cab you are missing out on the styling of one of the best 911 coupe designs of all time. So for rag tops, this left me with the BoxsterS which for me felt like slot car, very tight, neutral handling. Drop in the GT3 seats and Goodyear F1's on 20 pound Carrera wheels and its perfect.
As for the coupes I decided a C4S would be the best option for year round driving here in NJ but I really thought the CarreraS had the better feel, less understeer but not as nice looking as the C4S. I probably will go the C4S route as my year round car and drive the BoxsterS only in summer.
But I am still on the fence for a AWD fun...C4S or TT...if only that GT1 block was in the C4S it would be a done deal. Two Porsches for less than $70K is amazing.
p.s.
I will never buy a 997 anything.

Reasons to buy a Cabriolet:
- used, it will often sell faster than a coupe
- it is a genuine pleasure on a nice day
- no sunroof maintenance or expenses
- you want to drive your car for pleasure, not just speed
- you have a garage and/or live in a nice neighborhood
- you want to have comparable performance to a coupe, but the additional pleasure of open air motoring.
