[M.D. Holloway]

I hate seeing my Kids toys on the Targas hood or top.

When I was at the PCA Autocross last weekend. One of the PCA guys I was course working with is involved in boats on some way and care products. He said he uses this marine vinyl treatment that is just amazing, when you think about it, a marine enviroment is probably the most severe so a product to protect vinyl will be top notch. Food for though.

Good thought. . . There are a bunch of marine shops around here (we're coastal after all). Any idea what the name of it was?

He took my e-mail addy and was supposed to e-mail me so I can e-mail him my address for a sample.

I have not heard from him so I was going to go to the marine supply store and see what they had on the shelf.

I am sure I will run into him again at the next PCA AX and I will make sure to get his info this time.

Wait, I might have his card, I was in a hurry to bolt at the end of the day and I think he handed me a card. (I had a 2 hour 110 mile drive home)

Huge blingish wheels with rubber band tires.

(My wife realy likes the HRE's on my car, so they are staying, but I don't have to be in love with them).

warping leather.
rotting door pockets.
crumbling engine bay sound pads.
snapping exhaust bolts.
driver's side valve adjustments.
inadequate hood/deck lid shocks.
problematic central locking.
fender-mounted antennas.
cloudy h4/h5 lenses.
factory A/C.
dim gauges.
and a partridge in a pear tree.

Scratched, dirty, leased 996 with tiptronic in traffic with a woman driver talking on her cell phone.. But none of that is on a 911. Oh well.

HVAC doesn't work so well...Have removed the AC so I can't complain about it the lack of cool air. My system for adusting the heat is to reach underneath and manually open or close the rusty heater control box.

I love that smell, at least I know I'm in a real car.

I really cannot stand the cruise control feature on my car.

[911boost]

Don't get me wrong, I love 911's but there are things that come with them or get done to them that I really don't like.

Phonedials on 911's. Aftermarket wheels too, other than Minilites and Torq Thrusts on some early hotrod cars.

I agree completely. And I have phone dials on my 911E! I also have Fuchs, but I can't fit 205/50's on them, so the phone dials are for the racing tires. They fit the early 911s, with spacers, just about perfectly, but I really don't like the look of them.

That works in some cars?

I hate it when people don't bother to paint the headlight trim rings. Looks like those kids in Hondas with primered body kits. Yuck! Raccoon eyes on a Porsche look awful.

Yippee! Somebody hates me (beside Loren)! Now I feel I finally belong in OT.

I know this will not be popular, but I hate duck tails on anything that didn't come from the factory with one.
They don't function well, they don't look good, they scream poser to me. Every time I see one all I can think is the gigantic tach must be on back order.
Nomex on.

[JP911]

Cab conversions.
Pre-964 cars converted to 964 bodies.
All slant nose cars (factory or aftermarket)

The darn numbered tag the mechanic hangs from the mirror to tell him which bill is mine!
