He's got to be in the smallest % of 986/996 owners. Not only did he have one which I'm guessing is probably what less than what 10% of all owners? He then got hit by lightning a second time. That's gotta be single digits.
But the really amazing part is that he signed up for Porsche number two.
The number of people who took that step must be in the fractions of 1%.

I dunno...I put all this down to cars making horsepower gains way too quickly.
I'm not really familiar with Ford and Chevy engines but all European cars have some engine issues. from the 60's to the 80's horsepower didn't really go up by leaps and bounds. Look how little HP an M3 had even in the early 90's, what less than 240 hp? The standard Carrera after decades and decades didn't cross the 300 hp mark until 2005. Yet every year these guys keep finding more and more HP. I don't think the engineering was keeping up in terms of engine integrity.
