Well it 's obvious that I'm the one with the target on his back here. I stand by my original statement.

I too will be paying a couple thousand dollars for Jakes retro bearing, and that in itself pisses me off because I have to if I want to protect my (investment) car. I should not have to do that...Porsche should pick up that cost. The fact that the company has a bad design which has cost countless fellow members on this forum ten's of thousands of dollars is BS.

I hate having a ******************** sandwich in front of me and being told I have to take a bite. I just want what's right. Jake, you are the subject matter expert. You know the weakness in their design. Yet when people ask for your help, to right the wrong the company knowingly passed to their customers, you say no. That's just hard for me to take.

Sorry. If you only knew what it was like to bust your ass researching and applying these fixes only to be called a "fear monger" you'd understand.

As I stated, the issue isn't going to be solved in a court room. Yes, it might put some of Porsches money in someone else's pocket, but the people who own the cars would get pennies of it while some fleabag law group cashes in on the big money.

I have better things to do that sitting around talking to attorneys and wasting my time in a court room. There are products to develop, classes to teach, books to write and results to be gathered.

Honestly the people on these forums and especially "the vendor haters" have hardened me to the point of being selfish. If you want to be hurt at someone because I won't help, go ******************** slap one of those ass hats.

Well, maybe Porsche will have a change of heart and issue a recall. Send all current owners a voucher good for $2,000 towards a Jake Raby IMS upgrade so this issue can be put to bed.

Right after that happens...pigs will fly, Hell will freeze over and the Cubs will win the World Series.
