It's funny how little we know about the situation, yet we are quick to blame PCNA for being in the wrong. Yes the car had defects. but...

How many of them were manuafacturing/component defects?
How many of them were caused by the dealership that worked on it?
Any of them related to the water leak? Was that an original problem, or did it surface later?
Was the water leak caused by an improper repair? Installation of the roof rack?
Did the damn little dog chew on anything important?

I can see things in the video that I know were a problem that resulted from the work that was done. I can see other problems that were likely caused by the technicians that worked on the car. It's also probable that the numerous trips to the service department and the numerous components replaced may have been a result of a technician not correctly diagnosing the original problem and throwing parts at it. It happens; many times because of how the manufacturers (largely don't) pay for warranty diagnosis work, Richard's thoughts notwithstanding.

I'd be willing to bet $100 that more than half of his problems were a result of faulty work done after the car was sold. Too bad we'll never know the whole story.

Some people say he showed class. I think the opposite, as none of this had to be aired in public. I also fault him for being disingenuous in his comments in the videos. He had no idea this would go viral. He had no intention of harming the Porsche brand. Bull****. Look at all of his other videos. He doesn't live his life in private; he puts as much of it as he can on film. What kind of guy does that?

I'm happy he's out from under this problem. I hope PCNA gets to the bottom of it. It would be nice if Paul Harvey were still around and we got to hear the rest of the story.
