And its a pain in the a$$ to get in and out of....you think they would put better shocks and taller tires on it or something! I'm getting too old to bend down that far!

I'm always having to push the car in turns trying to get the front tires to wear evenly with the rears. I wish they wouldn't force us to do that.

Same thing happened to me, it's really weird.
I did change a headlight bulb the other day though.
Must be using the wrong oil.

I had a bulb fail once.... Damned unreliable cars.... I should write to Porsche and demand they perform a recall!

I have a major issue. I have developed major facial cramps from the big grin plastered on my face whenever I drive mine!

My big issue is that people think I'm rich and hit me up for every charity known to man.

911s in general seem to hold up well, and you are right, people are amazed when I tell them my '99 is 11 years old.

Ditto! But they still think it cost us $60K. In my best Thurston Howell III impression.........I need to purchase some tar tar and meet up with Bunny at the club.....
