My wrong, you figured how to wax your car, change the oil AND set the valves.
Did I do it recently? Sure, along with replacing the headstuds, the rings, setting the cam timing, replacing the chains, the ramps, the tensioners, yadi yada...you should come visit the engine rebuilding forum sometime .

Not your best side. Musta been a bad day. We all have those.

To the rest of you guys: it just takes a little time to reflect on past decisions and actions. I have done so many ridiculous things "keeping up with the Jones'" that I have to laugh hard at myself. And, at times, I look at others participating in conspicuous consumption with disdain. A double standard, for sure.

Step back, way, way back and look at us as a group that you hang with in person. If you don't hang in person, ignore this. We like the cars, but if the cars were taken away, would you necessarily choose the same acquaintances?

I wouldn't. Paul is feeling this, but you don't need to tell us, man, because it's just gonna get the obvious reaction. We all have to protect our position.

Does this make you a better person, a better Porsche owner or what does it do? I mean, I've done all that and twice as much on bodywork, but I'll talk to someone who doesn't own a tool with the same enthusiasm.

Nope, I was just answering Paul`s question.

Very well. His question didn't make sense to me, but if that's the answer, so be it.

There was no question. Paul is baiting, pure and simple.

I sold off a bunch of stuff last year, but the only thing I miss is my Euro SC. I still check out the tech forum though, and kick myself for giving up such a fun toy.

My current 911 just happens to be a supercharged Miata. Sort of fell in my lap, and it is fun. Nice people too.
