Oh man I miss my car when it was together


What a blast from the past. The bastards have scattered but we're just laying low waiting to strike!

Simple world domination. Then we will demand a ransom.

Three ... MILLION... dollars.

Three million dollars is not that much money these days. The SCWDP give more than that to charity each year.

As a 996 owner now (the ULTIMATE BASTARD Porsche... prove me wrong), I think it's time to resurrect this Gruppe... or at least this thread.

So what would the new group name be? 996WDP? FEHWDP? (fried-egg-headlights)

It can't still be SCWDP if it's open to cars besides SCs.

Wow….got an email notice out of the blue for this thread…haven’t been on here in ages. But! I now have a 996 too, but I still have the Original Bastard. Of course now a bastardized old aircooled 911 is called custom, re-imaged or restomods

Yeah a few are mia or have left us.
I've been in 10 different car clubs in my car life.
VWs, Porsches, street rods, RC car club and now vintage racing club.
The petty inner politics of most these experiences led to me moving on.
As they say don't pick your friends by the cars they drive.

(I can imagine the poopy-head moderators scrambling right now to lock it before I get a chance to bump it)

Remember when someone said that everyone who owned an SC was an old doctor, so we all put Dr. in our signatures and people thought we actually were?
I've been here for over 20 years and didn't know that. But I remember folks calling each other 'doctor' and I did it too. How stupid is that? I didn't even know why.

Playing a game and trying to fit in. Now I don't give a rat's ass.

I have dozens of real friends from my involvement in PCA. Mostly local, but real friends from the Florida Keys to Vermont and Alaska.

Certainly there are a few people that are jerks, but for the most part, like the PCA motto, it is the people not the cars.

You have not owned a 914. NARP.

Happy for you that you found a club you like.
Car clubs have the same dynamics as a local PTA or a condo association.

You got me there... almost bought one once but ultimately didn't.

I do have a long proud history of cars that were deemed "not real Porsches" in their day though... '69 912 (not enough cylinders), '72 911 T targa (OMG, a targa! NO ONE likes THOSE!), 87 924S (a 924, 'nuff said), '75 911S (dreaded and unloved mid-year 911... run away!), '79 911 SC targa (Frankensteined into a wide-body full cabriolet in the 1980s when that was in vogue), '07 Cayman base (not a 911... not an S...) and now the '01 Carrera (Water-cooled?!? Headlights!!! IMS!!!)...

If there ever was an enthusiast born to be an outlier, it's the bastard typing out this post.
