Oh, and thanks for showing me how to hide avatars. I'm in quasi stealth mode now!

By the way, that battery conditioner got very hot after only 60 mins of use. Shoud I really leave that thing plugged in for long a period of time?

Adam, anymore tricks and tips with the MFSW & PCM that you've figured out, being the gadget guy that you are? ... All this new gadgetry seems kinda like a nintendo game where you discover hidden tricks & shortcuts that aren't mentioned in the manual just from playing around with the thing.

Got the wrong steering wheel in my 2006 c2s!!
I ordered the smooth leather steering wheel and instead of giving me the standard sport steering wheel, I got the standard steering wheel with smooth leather. Should I just live with it? I had two 996's in the past and always had the sport steering wheel, which I like better.

If that's what you ordered and that's what you paid for and that's what you want, then make them order it and install it for you, free of charge. ... Don't just live with a mistake that can be corrected.

Speaking of avatars (oh, about a page or two ago) do you ever wonder what some of these handles (usernames, monikers, etc.) that we come up with actually mean or refer to? Some seem obvious if it looks like the name of the person, but are you sure about that? Also, do you think you know the gender of the person behind the username? Just because a username may sound masculine or feminine it doesn't necessarily mean that's the actual gender of the person behind the posts. It wasn't that long ago that someone here actually thought THPorsche was a woman and the girl in the avatar was a picture of her, I mean him. (Sorta gives tranny a whole new meaning in this car forum.)
Like for example, what in the world does boolala refer to, or riad, or....
Just something to chew on a Friday night as I sip down a cold one.
Feel free to add anyone's username here that you've often wondered about the meaning behind it (not that they will actually fess up to it). But just out of curiousity.

Boo: a term of endearment used by certain ethnic groups in referring to their children or lover.
Ou lala: French term loosley translated as "Oh my!"
boolala: a nick-name I was given by one of our secretaries (who I dated briefly).

LOL That's great! ... I would have never guessed that was an actual nickname. ... And I'm not even gonna ask at what point she exclaimed Ou lala, Boo!. ... I guess I would be proud too to have that nickname.
