It's all about driving techniques (as mentioned above), and translate directly to any car which you are driving.
There is nothing special about driving a Turbo vs Non Turbo
Brian knows what he's talking about! When I was at the Masters, that was his 18th time! How many more times have you been back since then, Brian?

There's just something so un-appealing for someone to write about all their accomplishments. Humility is a good character trait.

The Porsche Ricer's List!
Wow! Can't believe a word you say. My guess is that the list of cars you say you own or owned is just a phony as you are. Truth be known you're probably a teenage wanna be and, if you do own a car, it's probably a 15 year old clapped out Ford Escort. You'd be well advised to go sit in the corner and play with yourself.

I also have a federal SES grade in Homeland Security (very insecure agency) with Top Secret Clearance. By the time those private insurers looked at me they would run away (and I don't look like Jimi Hendrix).

Posuers who like to wax, shine and look at there cars but are too afraid of racing or denting them...This is what Porsche has become?
Wow...what a remarkable post.

Well, since I'm not a professional racing entrepreneurial neurosurgeon with top secret Homeland Security that doesn't look like Jimi Hendrix (which, BTW, is the most bizarre comment of many), I probably won't be able to get Paul Newman to tow my track crashed 997TT to a public road so that I can try to defraud my insurance company.

Boy, your argument to not worry about wrecking my TT on a track is SO convincing. Sorry, I don't have as much money to throw around as you do my non-Jimi Hendrix looking, top secret, entrepreneurial pro-racing doctor friend.

Are those medical terms?? Real classy Doc. Also, insurance fraud has special statute of limitations rules. For example, an ongoing or continuing insurance fraud will toll the statute of limitations until the insurance company has actual or constructive notice of the fraud. Active concealment of facts constituting insurance fraud falls squarely within this category and can toll the limitations period indefinitely. If you were as smooth as you claim, then the insurance company would not have had a reasonable opportunity to discover the fraud thereby preserving the limitations period against you. And trust me - the insurance companies have the kind of lawyers that would hit you so hard that you would be on your back begging for mercy. They deal with crooks like you all the time and don't care if you are a doctor or a janitor. They would use the broad discovery rules to probe your life so thoroughly, you would feel like a cadaver in your old anatomy class. I have several friends who have their own insurance law practices - meanest bastards I know. Any smart doctor would stay way the hell away from anything with even a whiff of insurance fraud. Then again, if you are so wealthy, why would you need to defraud the insurance company?? Just toss the crashed Porsche away and buy a new one. That would be a lot cheaper than defending against a fraud charge by State Farm. Most - if not all - of my really wealthy clients and friends self-insure their vehicles beyond the absolute bare minimum required by state law. In fact, you don't even have to insure any of your personal vehicles if you post a large enough bond with your local DMV. You should look into it.

There is always a guy like this on every car forum. I remember this one guy on a Mercedes Benz forum I used to visit frequently that sounded a lot like this nut. He claimed to be a brain surgeon as well - but only after he ran an FBI field office and guarded the President as part of the Secret Service. He also claimed to be a former SEAL team captain and a sales desk manager at Goldman-Sachs. He claimed a stable of cars that included every big name exotic you have ever heard of - including the only Maybach Excelero in the world. He bragged of owning 7 houses in various parts of the world and dated actresses and supermodels - but he couldn't tell us their names because it might blow his cover as a part time secret agent for a private security firm conducting black-ops in Iraq. I'm not making this up either. He actually made all of those claims at one point or another. He just kept getting in deeper and deeper. By the end, we were convinced it was actually some home-schooled 13-year old whose parents had fallen behind in his curriculum (nothing against home-schooled kids - just parents who don't give a crap).

We just have to ignore them until they move on and torture the next forum. The worst thing you can do is challenge the guy or insult him. That gives him an excuse to talk big and hide behind the anonymity of the Internet. Don't give him the satisfaction. One of the best parts about this forum is that these nut-jobs are pretty few and far between. It is much worse on other forums. So you guys are doing something right. Keep it up. I am happy to be a 997TT owner in reality and that 99% of the other guys/gals that contribute here are as well.

Take care.

With Porsche, part numbers are often like equivalancies - I used to work there.
Reading another post, I found that he also worked for Porsche! Quite the renaissance man.

Well...duh...he was OBVIOUSLY their in-house top secret test car racer neurosurgeon in case Walter Rohrl (his pupil, BTW, being an instructer and all) suffered head trauma in an accident with a terrorist from Al Qaeda on the N-ring...sheesh...

A consulting neurosurgeon? That makes you special?
SES grade what? I wouldn't brag about that either. I know what it is, it's not hard to get. Just pay the money. A top secret clearance? wooooh. Also not that big a deal.

I think you know people that fit this description. I doubt you actually posses the credentials. Knowing people in those fields, or being there myself, it's not something you brag about. Those that don't know seem to think it sounds impressive on the outside, but those that do know, well we know it's no big deal.

BTW, how big does a lemonade stand have to be for you to call it "a large company"?
