I grew up taking things apart and putting them back together to make them do what I want them to do.

Now that I am older, I cannot stop doing the same thing. Hey if you have the money you can mess it up and fix it right up.

My father has his 997.2 c4s bone stock and he loves what I have done to the car in less than 24hrs owned. He says that I'll eventually grow out of it and when I'm older I won't mess with it.

He encourages creativity by helping me individualize my vehicle, therefore getting to know me better while helping me with "my bs".

Put it this way, father and son Porsche time.

I swear, give me a year or 50k more miles and we will put a Chevy 6.2 V8 in it.

If he's such a contributor why is he throwing up on my comment?

He should suggest another alternative or relay the negative effects of the swap. Something positive.

Come on, sometimes I feel like I am older than you folks just by reading what you guys post.

Sounds like he has a lot of work to do Newbie! You are quickly making yourself irrelevant!
