First of all sorry if I offended your 993 by preferring the 964. My mistake (but be advised that this is not an uncommon view it seems).
As to your question on ownership, you see I'm lucky coreseller I don't have to buy them because I can drive them whenever I wish, well if I ask nicely.. and on some nights I don't have to ask at all since I'm not a drinking person. A pretty darn good tradeoff on a night out I think. I've easily driven more types of Carreras than I have driven Boxsters (which only number two Boxsters including my own).
So if anything I have more first-hand perspective on Carreras than 986's-- the very point of Porsche9's statement that the 'driver experience' in one car does not compare with the others. You must have read it as "ownership experience". And If you take exception to arguging against Porsche9's point to be "schooling" him, then you are mistaken. It's simply voicing the other side of the argument.

And by the way, to my understanding Jeremy Clarkson has never owned a Carrera. Someone should tell him to shut up about Porsches already.

And that would be a "No". It only took almost 200 words (hence the "novel" comment).

Secondly, you didn't offend me nor do I take exception with anything. I am not interested in your or others approval in what I drive / purchase; my money / my choice.

Lastly, Jeremy Clarkson is in the entertainment business and a large part of his popularity is that he continually acts and talks like an ass. Not that it matters but he has indeed flip flopped on the 911 more than once.
