He was outed as a Troll like 5 pages ago! He doesn't own a Porsche, and hasn't driven either!

Let's see a photo of the Brits car and Quads car. Don't care if the Brit owns one or not....he's funny as hell!

Before you guys really go off the deep end and look even more foolish with this "he's a troll and doesn't even own a Porsche" attempt at a smear, Quad owns a 993 TT and has been a contributing member to these forums much longer than any of you. Not that he needs me to stick up for him.

And you were wrong. American cars are built to suit American taste, that's the best (and worst) one can say about it.

Now then, I see you completely skipped over the wager.
I see you're from New Jersey, so I understand and forgive you for taking the expression "I'll wager" literally In fact, it rather explains your low-street taste as well. I'm sure Snooki and JWOWW adore the Town Car also.

That he owns a 993TT in fact makes his bloviating assertions seem that much more disingenuous and suspicious of trolling. And in terms of being a "contributing member", well, I suppose in the same sense that a cow can be said to be a contributing member of the fertilizer industry.

hmm... well, you are sticking up for him! He hasn't DRIVEN either 997 nor 991! His own words... and he's also hasn't even BEEN in 991! Now, what do you call someone who has such strong opinions on both... while not owning/driven either?! To me, it's called a "Troll"!

And yet I provided a list about 10 vehicles deep. Remove the trucks and the town car. That leaves you with a few corvettes, a viper, a few hot mustangs, and the caddy ctsv. care to tell me whats so rubbish about them?

Now americans have no taste? you really like stupid generalizations don't you?

My low street taste huh? Hows that exactly?

Btw, is the guy from south florida really insulting where I live? Talk about tasteless.

Your reading skills are lacking. I've got a bunch of seat time in 997s ranging from a GT3 to a turbo to a plain old c2.

I took a ride in a 991, but did not drive it.

Pretty much everything I'm afraid.

Now americans have no taste?
Two words: NASCAR and demolition-derby

I live in south Florida but I'm quite assuredly not "from" here. BTW half the population of south Florida are originally from New Jersey. And the other half are from New York. They refer to New Jersey as "that smell from across the river". I wonder why?

I could assert that to someone with ashphalt scrapes on his knuckles, anything beyond monosyllabic grunts must seem like bloviation, but being the gentleman I am I will acquiesce and simply say...touche.

It's not a matter of sticking up for anyone; as I said before Quad doesn't need me to defend him. I just have a low tolerance for false "logic" and inaccurate "facts" so I spoke up before more unfounded comments about how "he doesn't even own a Porsche" were spit out.

You don't need to have driven a 997 or 991 to have an opinion about the incessant and ridiculously repetitive comments and complaints about rear deck lettering, parking brake levers, or center consoles. All you need is a healthy sense of perspective.

...and a diseased sense of the aesthetic.

But it hardly surprises me you assert that first-hand knowledge is unessential to expounding on a subject.

Now your 991 comments make sense. You literally don't know a thing about cars.

Two words: NASCAR and demolition-derby
wow, generalizations are fun.

Two words: Town Car.
Point out for me where I said I would buy a town car or even that I like them? I simply said that it does the job it was designed for very well, making it not rubbish.

I live in south Florida but I'm quite assuredly not "from" here. BTW half the population of south Florida are originally from New Jersey. And the other half are from New York. They refer to New Jersey as "that smell from across the river". I wonder why?
once again, generalizations are fun.

Two words: large displacement.

So then you assert that the mere fact a car serves as transportation makes it not-rubbish. Interesting. And by interesting I mean sophomorically inane.
