I'm going to go out on a limb, here, and guess that he was taking a shot at the 993's air conditioner.

I heard it was a one night stand between a 1971 VW Super Beetle and an Acura NSX.

Very funny, Bruce. Sadly, it is true. I spent a bunch getting mine fixed last year. AC is not an option down here. Lol.

I don't know what the big stink is here. I love every single model ever made by Porsche. Sure, the 993 is my personal favorite, but there isn't a single model that I wouldn't be proud of, and I could never call one of them ugly. Some of their owners, that's an entirely different story.

That is an absolutely unacceptable internet argument answer, fine sir. Nowhere in your response did you insult someone else, use profanity, or insist that your opinion is actually fact and everyone else has no idea what they are talking about; nor was your response dripping in sarcasm that made it difficult to tell whether your response was insulting or tongue in cheek.

Furthermore, you used proper grammar and sound logic.

Please restate your last response to follow proper internet forum protocol.

I made a joke and it's as if I insulted their morel character. I don't get it, but whatever. You can call me a hater or a no-nothing (you’d be very wrong), but I'm not going to get in someone’s grill over a personal opinion. Not my favorite Porsche. Moving on.

If that is the case, Capt. Obvious, can someone PLEASE help me find my *****? Maybe if I bought a huge, lifted truck. Hmmm. Such a mystery.

That and I was remembering the 993 Turbo I encountered outside of San Antonio last Summer at a gas station with the rear deck open letting it cool down.

As a 997 owner let me just say that the 996TT, seal gray on black, is the single best looking car in human history. Fact.

Oh, you are somewhat new here, so I will let it slide this time, BUT... everybody knows that the Blue Iris Metallic on Seal Grey Sport seats and Cup rims from March of 1995 is far superior to any other. Fact.

Since when do moderators get to express an opinion?

Fact: The Porsche in your garage/driveway/parking lot is the best Porsche.

Neotorque - gold star for you! Lol.

Eric - since the doc put me on these new meds, ha! And, since I have an opinion today (lol), I could not agree more with the Porsche in the garage comment. All of our cars are the best cars!
