HAHA. Totally. I just thought I'd jump back in here to add that the guy PM'ed me his RESUME to prove his "worth".

Needless to say he's on my block list now. Now I've seen everything in a forum. Laughable.

He is CEO of his own company selling consumer product (must be Amway). Guess what? I'm CEO of my own household. And I have my own zoo! (2 cats and a dog)

Blocked and Unsubscribed, baby.

Not trying to stir things up, but why are people getting so bent out of shape because of a car being criticized? If someone says your car sucks, why let it bother you if you like your car? It's just a different opinion, and yours is the one that counts.

And I respectfully suggest that we not overidentify with our cars either. At most, they're a partial reflection of part of us. We aren't our cars, nor vice versa.

To those of you who just got a 991, or are getting one, congratulations and enjoy. It's a fine car. Not everyone's first choice, but a fine car nonetheless and ideal for many people.

I think Ericp was basically telling him to shut up. Hroussard is fairly offensive in his approach.

I too will unsub to this one. Adios.

It seems people are objecting to the fact he seems to be criticizing with the intent to stir things up rather than give an opinion. I could be wrong, but...

The only thing that annoys me is the politics. If I wanted to watch that stuff I wouldn't come to a 991 forum for it. Keep your religious and political views to yourself.Those subjective opinions are like bum-holes. One should never assume anyone wants to see or hear yours (unless you're a drop dead sexy woman).

I wasn't offended by his criticism of the car, but I agree that it's best to leave politics in the politics forum.

hroussard -

Enough. Hate the car all you want, but grow up and stop trolling the 991 forum. Consider this fair warning.

How often have you gone to a cars and coffee and people hang out with their decklids open so you can see the mods they've done or the ingenuity behind the engine design. For a A to B car, who cares. But for an sporting enthusiast's car, I WANNA SEE SOME ENGINE!!!
Totally agree. That said, I drove a Carrera S for about 30 minutes with PDK and I am very impressed. Put in manual mode and shifted with the stick, I was blown away with the sound, speed, smoothness, and handling. While I am a manual person and would never think PDK is a consideration, if I were to buy a 991 that car was it!

Added rep. Same thing happened to me. You would think that people that got to place in life where they can buy a 100+k car would have learned to grow some thicker skin in that process.

Then again maybe they got it handed to them and dont understand that you dont make your way through life successfully pandering to people.

Some people need to Grow up, if you really worked hard and made your money you would have gotten there through a lot of criticism and HEARING the bad with the good.
Can't stand the guy telling you like it is? LOL
