My Father used to say "If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all."

On the other hand if you are going to post something in a public forum you must be prepared to take the good with the bad. Take your skirt off and be a man, it isn't a personal attack Thrown Hammer and I'm certain nobody here is trying to make you feel bad. You just happen to be on a board where the early car is king and you are a minority.

No matter what stay true to what you like. No one will ever truly care but you.

Kinda reminds me of "No Rain"

Wait just a minute! A few posts ago you were praising pelican heads for helping you with your redline. Take the good with the bad.

So then this guy Dave walks in on the thread and says "Wuzza guys check out these hella-sweet Cibies I just scored on eBay..."

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1867128287&rd=1

And then the guys in the thread say, "Those ARE hella-sweet. Nice score! But Dave, why are you telling us in this thread, this is the thread In Which We Discuss Our Feelings and Reminisce About Other Great OT Threads Of Yore"

And Dave says "What are you talking about?! I'm telling EVERYbody!!"

:p

This threads an embarrassment.

Where's a moderator when you really need one! Take this to OT as its not a technical discussion.;) :rolleyes: http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/boxen.gif

I had a bad day yesterday. That's all I care to say about that matter.
I admit I acted a little childish yesterday and learned a valuable lesson about fighting fire with fire.
I'll be around. I went home and dug out a sheild and helmet.
Fire away.http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/uzi.gif

"fire in the Hole!!" :D

we all have those days, it's not that big of a deal.. I think I speak for us all when I say we're glad you're not leaving.

did someone mention porn?

After reviewing Hammer's post offering his car for sale, I have concluded the following:

1. It was OT but understandable. It could have been moved immediately and that might have been the end of it.

2. The negative comments about the car were not necessary and rather rude. I don't go rummaging through Auto Trader or the news paper classifieds to call people up to tell them I don't like their stuff or I'm not interested.

Lots of people post pictures and descriptions of their cars before during and after doing a lot of work on their cars. When I see a nicely prepared Targa, I admire the effort, skill and craftsmanship that went into the project. I compliment the owner on the quality of the work.

I do not reply by saying: I don't like Targas! So a targa is not my preference but what do I know. That's just my opinion and I won't ask anyone to subscribe to or agree with my subjective opinion. Those who contributed to the insulting response owe an appology for such insensitivity.

For the record: I am just fine with making fun of some of those rediculous eBay ads. Some of them are truly butt-ugly.

Geez: many of you 911 owners call us 944 owners childish, rude and immature! What's that phrase? Something about the pot calling the kettle black????

:rolleyes:

94-something or other
 

not many of us "911" guys visit the 94-whatever site, seems that you guys do most of the crossover visitation. kinda like how when in highschool when the JV team would hang around to watch the varsity game.

Surflvr911sc - Heeeyyyyy I got rid of that neon green Chevette a long time ago!! ;) But...every time I see one of those new neon green vw bugs the color gives me "flash backs." :p

Nostatic - I think you should add the word "resilient" to your profile.

Speaking of marriage counseling on 911 boards...there was a pretty interesting thread on the Rennlist OT board not too long ago that had lots of good/interesting advice and only a few flamers.

thrown_hammer - Glad you decided to "get back on the horse" http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/wat6.gif

Re: 94-something or other
 

See what I mean? yeesh...

And, aparently that's not so true: in a recent <albeit stupid> thread on the 944 board, people were asked to vote for which car is better: a 911 or a 944, and many, many 911 owners came over to "rock the vote."
See post on 911 board: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/81689-pssst-want-mess-water-pumpers-minds.html

So, just to add a little oil (13 quarts or so) to the fire:
Q: How can you annoy a 911 owner?
A: Just pass him on the track!

But what do I know, I'm just a JV boy. :D
-Zoltan.
Shh: Don't tell anyone I'm a moderator here....

z-boy, z-boy, z-boy, that vote served its purpose if you still remember it. i on the other hand had forgotten all about it, how did the results end up?

Man, you're walking on thin ice. I don't appreciate the name calling.

And, for the record, there was no visitation necessary to the 91 WHATEVER boards to see how you 911 owners behave. Obviously, this thread had to be moved from that board to here, since it contained no technical info on the 911. IIRC, this is the OT forums, not the 911 OT forums.

I cannot remember if I ever saw someone on the 924/944/968 boards bashing another 924/944/968 owner like I've seen and heard of on the 911 board: must be a 911 thing. Yeah, sometimes we poke fun of each other, and 911 owners, (and other p-car owners) but it surprised me to see how far you guys have gone at times. (Like stuff you dish out to Nostatic & Thrown_hammer and 944 owners, for example) Seems like the 911 forums are starting to look like the Supra forums.

I guess you don't need maturity to be on the varisty team. :rolleyes:
-Zoltan.

Z-man has a point
 

We are all 911 enthusiasts. Can we agree on that? Why must we pit MFI against CIS against EFI against Varioram against 996...? In contrast, GM has made a few good cars vs. a lot that I would not be caught dead in. Each P-car has it's strengths and weaknesses. However, there's a big difference between weakness and flat-out-sucks!

A little respect please?

Hey Z-man, Thrown hammer, and anyone else that has been flamed here, there are a lot of great people one this board. There are also those who have become so obsessed with their own particular car, they feel as if nothing else could possibly compare! For example, if they have a coupe, Targas are inferior. If they are only capable of getting 230 hp out of their engine, it is impossible to get any more. If they have a 911, nothing else is worthy of being called a Porsche. One thing to remember though, all of us are not like that. I prefer my Carrera, but I have driven 944's and I know they are worthy of the badge. Your car IS YOUR CAR! It would be a very boring interest if every one were identical. They all have their pros and cons and each one is unique thanks to our own personal preferences in modifying them whether it is to produce tremendous horsepower or to create a different look. Also, the type Porsche we drive may be partially determined by the type driving we like to do. Keep in mind that some of the people who would lead you to believe they are "experts" here are not and they will sometimes make a statement as fact that is not. On the other hand there are people here who will help you any way they can. You just have to sort them out. But please, don't sell the rest of us short.

I wonder...
 

I wonder what would happen if i brought the 914's on this rant, hmmm..... na, although i will side with the fact that a 944 handles better than a 9 eleben. and say, that with the same cash, the 944 turbo is faster than the 911 turbo, in all performance area's,

O great now im gona get it, lol

Ducking

....

:D



OK forget about that, for fear of being overcome with 911 expencive rants, Just forget all i just said, ;), but in ever case you doubt the 914 or 944, ill gladly give you a ride in eather.
Thanks for the laughs.

YEAH >>>>RIGHT LOL
