Did an Independent third party verify the fact that the bearing was in failure mode?


Here you are again, questioning everything Jake does. What have you contributed to the development of anything Porsche? What are you trying to accomplish? Stop being a douche

Please report to Jim Jones "People Temple'.

Maybe try and focus on helping people and answering questions on this forum rather than bashing everything everyone does.

If you are suggesting that believing what Jake does and says is cultish. Then so be it. He has put more time into development of the M96 then anyone. When your Boxster has a problem, don't come here and ask for help.

I am neither agreeing nor disagreeing, however I see nothing wrong with asking for a third party opinion vs. blindly accepting what you are told by one person (no matter who it is). Some people are more skeptical and/or less trusting than others, and there is nothing wrong with that. What this forum doesn't need is people that get upset and call each other names.

I agree that a third party opinion is always a good thing, but I am sure Jake did not blindly say that the bearing was on its way out and didn't back it up by showing his customer why. I wasn't there so I am just speculating, that's just my guess.

Also I do agree with you that this is not a place to call each other names. For that, I do apologize. It is counterproductive.
