I join them when the need for reliable inside information can be gained/shared outside of what is provided by the company who makes the car and issues whatever validated information they deem fit. In this particular case, my offer to help me and countless future owners feel more confident about saving $1400 when the Boxster transmissions for a convertible top eventually fail, is such a case. Just because that's how a 987 owner might find his way to register and post on a 986 forum doesn't mean they lack integrity. And it's blowhards like you that ensure newbies like me keep valuable new information from surfacing.

:dance:

can you please define real life ? As i post here often so apparently I do not have one but I would really like to work on that :)

FYI: generally, someone that joins and posts simply to get a free item isn't someone with much integrity. Common sense. ;)
The funniest part of this is I can't see where the gears were actually given away. :D

And if anybody figures out what a "real life" is, let me know. Clearly it's much superior to whatever I might be doing so I'm envious and want to start whatever it may be as soon as possible. Until then I'll keep posting.

Let me guess. You figured out what the bullet shaped thing in the front grill is? Or why both rear fog lights don't work? Newbies always have a wealth of info the board has never heard!

And actually, I'm always glad to meet a member and make a friend. It's worked a couple times now. If you pull your head out and get off that horse you rode in on, you may meet someone really cool or nice in your area.

this is essentially why i made the offer in the first place.

regarding "real life" i'm not trying to disparage anyone who posts on here...hell i did. but my point is that its just so typical that some guy with 3000 posts tries to intimidate people who haven't that type of time to dedicate to an online hobby.

and newbies can/do breathe new life into a stale group. yes, some are stupid questions that they might should open their owner's manual to answer. but in this case, i made an offer to take on a $1500 Porsche repair project that would cost owners less than $200 to repair if they had confidence in this product and step by step review with photos. i even started out with a before photo to demonstrate i was legit. and instead i got my integrity questioned for it...jeez, guys sounds like a fun place to hang out.

anyway, i'm posting again here and have sent PM to Mike to see if the company still wants a review, as i can't tell that they ever gave the parts away or got a review for them. otherwise i'll just ride off on my high horse with my head up its...or something like that. :rolleyes:

Can't we all just go for a drive and chill?

So that's why you're all butthurt :rolleyes:

My post was over 1 year ago (and I had half as many posts), so I obviously wasn't referring to you directly. That's why reading comprehension is important. ;)

Re-read the posts several times until it sinks in.

That reply was a reply to someone else replying to my reply (obviously).
Again, you seriously need to work on your reading comprehension skills...jack.
This is like trying to teach a 5yr old college algebra. :rolleyes:
Are you seriously that thick-headed? :eek:


I was never referring to you. I didn't even aknowledge your post. When I reply to someone's post, I quote that post so that it's clear. This is why it's important to learn how to read and comprehend what you're reading.

Moving on? Please do. There's no free stuff here for you and you're stinking up the joint. ;)
All 4 of your posts have been in this thread (three of them whining about someone who wasn't even talking to you). When are you going to contribute something of value?
