we need an IMS failure facebook page

Porsche won't like that....or maybe one already exists..

Can we get some hats and t-shirts made up too?

We should get spoiler decals made up too, saying, "..No IMS failure...YET!"

I just checked...there's no "MY IMS FAILED" facebook.

Although if you're going to do that something much more inflamatory would be in order.

"My $80K Porsche engine exploded...can you spare a Benjamin?"

keep them coming

In good will, did Porsche cover half the cost of the tee shirt at least?

Yep, his name is Dennis, and I know him personally. He ended up selling the 04 SE for a 350z. One was a base 986 that failed on him, and then the 04 SE. He had enough. After 2, I don't blame him.
