Ouch "It started the success story and really rescued Porsche" (re: 996 being his favorite).

Anyone want to go post that in the 993 and 997 forums for some giggles?

ahahaha... yea, I noticed that immediately. Look at the tow hole covered with some sort of cheap sticker. And it looks like the bumper had some unfinished repair to it. I'm not sure if that 996TT was a prototype or a working model.

Here's the first clay model painted.

I don't like to be reprimanded undeservedly. Gretch and I just have differing opinions about what constitutes "deserving"

And moderators really hate the "go into full denial and raging defensiveness when you have been called on your azzhat behavior", foil.

Not surprisingly this often leads to suicide by mod. Also not surprisingly, mods don't care.



Keep the personal attacks to yourself and all will be fine............ pedantic????????? fine, pedantic jackwagon??????????? vacation in your future.

As to differences of opinion on the subject???........... guess how much THAT matters???????

The Porsche's special blinker fluid is derived from extremely rare unicorns as shown in this highly secretive video just recently uncovered by Wikileaks:

The "Unchained Melody" is not the song you want to hear while driving a 996.

I've learned that modern technology is a fragile pact with the devil. Simple is better than complicated. Friend of mine has been waiting for a dealer to get him a test drive in a new 911 but with manual trans. The dealer has been unable to provide him with one. It's been about two months now. Read a report on the new Ford Focus RS...complete with 4 programmed driving modes, including "drifting." The whole thing sounds like a condom over a French tickler.
