You don't need to apologize, it's not such a big deal. You've corrected it, that's fine!

That's where we disagree, but it's ok. I would buy a 3rd radiator and you wouldn't, I would sacrifice fuel-efficiency for reliability (just to play on the safe side) and you wouldn't.

So, what?! You drive a Porsche and I don't... but I'm taking care of that part!

Greetings from the 996 Forum! We heard you have a bit of a troll infestation here. Well, lighten up and let it go. There are better things to spend your time and energy pondering:

And the 996 forum will welcome you. We're an affable sort over there.

This thread is much too long, and I've had a very long day. Can someone summarize it in one sentence?

This is a gift from the 996ers to the 997ers, that I was asked to bring over here as a small token:

CaymanPowder, Engineering prodigy and Porsche enthusiast extraordinaire, provides over 20 pages of posts outlining the many shortcomings of the Porsche 997.2 9A1 design, including the multiple root causes of potential catastrophic failure, despite the fact that he has never, personally, torn down a 997.2 9A1 engine, or even touched one, in real life.

I read the whole thing. I...I couldn't stop. It's worse than dwarf pr0n.

CP, there is an expression in the South which, put delicately, suggests that you should either move your bowels or get off of the commode. Seems applicable in this case...maybe it's time to get yourself a Porsche or find a new haunt.

kcattorney and CUDA911,

While I would like to vote on who posted the best image, in the spirit of more competition, we should wait until more roll in. It's a nice start to the anti-troll movement.

We were told you lot were rather boring and humorless over here so we sent Jake over to get the party warmed up and now we're crashing it. Once the 991 guys calm down over their deviated stitching color wars we'll infest them too
