I might have to get you to spell this one out for me, can I assume that you aren't referring to my financial situation?

The guy in that pic told us all how poor we all really are compared to his daddy that just bought him a used base. How he smoked a joint in a rare 911 with a Saudi prince who didn't care he ashed on the carpet. How daddy owned Lambos and Ferraris, but again, bought him a older base.
Then he told us we are all poor and doing it wrong. I took comfort in telling him well, at least I could hold you against the ground for pretty much as long as I wanted to...
Total egomaniac. Glad he's gone.

Oh, that was certainly not aimed at you. We love seeing happy Boxster owners. That's why he didn't fit in. We are (mostly) normal people (I can't enter any discussions about small feline mammals anymore by site staff request) who enjoy their Porsches, even if they are a non-S or a Wussamatic.  (from yet another thread...)
My dad had a major stroke and will pass with some nice things but less cash than I have on me right now.  Sorry to hear about your dad's passing. Hope he was comfortable to some extent. My dad just walks into an occasional wall or takes his own walk and my uncle has to find him.
GO TIGERS!!!!!

Thanks for the kind words . He went pretty peacefully. Life is a journey and lots of hard lessons to learn along the way.
Very happy porsche owner here. I found my self smiling alone in the car on the way to work this morning  its a fun little car.
Hopefully i dont offend to many people with my desire to personalize it some. I like to enjoy my cars and ill admit im not one who subscribes to "keep it stock" thinking... Which is probably why some unsubscribe lolol its all good.
"Go tigers" .... To another town lol they did horrible this year  im not a huge basebal fan. More of a foot ball guy... Go lio.... Nevermind they did horrible also lol

No we were just flaming on our good friend Mr. Landa. As far as modding or personalizing your car I say go for it. I've changed the whole interior of mine from red to black. I'm sure some people think that was a dumb move, but I like it. There really aren't many inexpensive performance mods that actually improve performance on these cars. That is probably why everyone was suggesting driving school instead of mods. That being said a smaller drive pulley gives it a little (5hp maybe) bump. These can be found for around $200 or so. Exhaust headers are also said to slightly improve performance, although I haven't tried them yet. Welcome to the forum
