personally, when people want to ask what's in my car, they usually just ask or pm me directly, so i never saw a reason for throwing out there for everyone to see that i ordered extra crests for my glove box, storage, headrests, along w/ contrast stitching, and leather smothered turn signal stalks etc etc.
Post a pic....I like contrasting stitching...its a Liberace thing....in my blood and all. Funny thing about your prior posts....I have buddies calling me that dont post callin me Liberace and other unprintable shyte. Its just funnier than hell..Im gettin a huge kick out this.

Tips you ask? Sorry. Looks like there's no hope for someone like you.
LOL funny how stereotypes always seem to play themselves out! Do some donuts in the parking lot and run a few red lights on the way home today. When other motorists are giving you dirty looks (or pointing and laughing), just keep telling yourself it's all about jealousy.

I told you .... it's best to do that *#$& when no ones around otherwise others do have right to get p_ssed off ..... and the stereotypes are what they are because there is a reason. Look in the mirror guys - get real for a moment and re-read the posts - all of them. It's quite apparent that the answer to the question is right there in front of everyone.

Get it, got, good. DrP did design good cars though - even the lower priced ones that handle really great.

Sometimes the truth hurts

Cheers, have a good day, and good luck

No, no, no. I never abuse my 911 like that. No donuts for me, no trying to dump the clutch, or whatever it is kids like to do.

And no, I don't run red lights. Sounds like you have me confused with someone else. Obviously not paying attention here.

Like I said, I seldom take mine out on the road. I've only managed to put on 4700 miles in 3 yrs of ownership. So when I finally do get to take her out I like to enjoy what I have.

On the way home tonight? In my 98 hp Mini Cooper???

Ben:

If you want to put a few more miles on it, drive on out here. I just bought a new AR-15 and we go gather up some of my other friends and go do some shooting.

I guess the haters only come out on alternate Tuesdays and those bitchen Starbucks fun runs, eh?

Sounds like you bought a Porsche for it’s capability to “style and profile”.

I believe it says in the owner's manual of your car that driving more than 2000 miles per year will un-ruffle the leather, and then, well, it'd be worthless.

So, um, Steve . . . are you driving any of your Porsches to work on a daily basis? Just sayin . . .

I do. My car gets driven on a daily basis. Why own a 997 if you do not drive it every day at every moment that you can, particularly if you do not even go to the track?
