Default Forgive Me, I Have Been All Wrong About the 996!

Alp, Schnell, SP, and many others have convinced me of the error of my ways. My 996 is absolutely the greatest most dependable vehicle I have ever owned. All alleged issues, including the IMSB one, are totally overblown and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the M96 platform.

Those Porsche engineers got it right with the M96 and the design is flawless! The most dependable engine ever built.

I will no longer waste countless hours dropping my engine and/or trans for cleaning, parts changing, or unnecessary maintenance, or continue wasting money on JG DT40.

And,,,I have decided to really enjoy my car and start driving it daily, rain or shine. I have even signed up for several upcoming track and DE sessions! Thanks again all.

So who hacked into his account? Because regardless of the date, I don't think his fingers could physically type those words.

I still think you ought to swap out your vanity plate from "UNFAIR" to "UNUSED" - unless in Texas, like CA, they allow you to use special characters. If so, I suggest "I[heart]JAKER"

Have a great second quarter, Mr. Krazy.

You just know he has been planning this for months!

The funniest thing about your April Fool's joke is that everything you wrote is true. So it's really a Bizzaro World April Fool's Gag.

Your welcome KK. Nice to see you have come to your senses. Although it won't hurt anything to keep using the DT40.
