991s can think?

Driving the car makes the statement by itself, sticking on a bunch of out-of-place marque badges is the tacky aspirant part.

Was a bit shy in the first year and never advertised the fact but I am totally over that now and don't give a rat's *** what people think of me.
I always wanted one, I worked for it, and dammit I'm going to drive it proudly.

This thread is too funny. Reminds me of girls that wanna wear that short mini-skirt but complain about guys looking at them and/or making comments.

I feel a survey coming on.... How many folks think Hurd's PORSCHE lettering is an improvement. No point in asking who likes it...........

I feel like more of an *** for all the time I spend on Porsche websites than I do driving the actual car.

Amen. Isn't that referred to as bench drivers?

Wait until you get to post #85 - it's super witty and extremely profound.

My 1998 996 C2 cost me USD99000 2 years ago when I bought it. Have to pay a yearly road tax of USD3900. Insurance of USD3500 yearly.

Our cars needs a COE (certificate of ownership) which is only valid for 10years, after which we will need to pay (current rates USD73000 for a 3.4L car)) to the local authorities just to renew the COE to own "our" car for another 10years. I have another 5 years of validity on my COE, after which I am not sure if I will even renew the ownership with the high cost involved.

Sorry, deviated from the topic a little. Just had to rant the steam out about our transport systems here since I saw the post on my country.

Cheers
not to hijack thread, but where would you get a chance to open up the 996 in Singapore? The road to airport maybe? Too much congestion for serious running.
