I'll be honest with you, I'm not a fan of the 987s looks. The interior looks more dated then the 986 and the side intakes look cheap now that the 981 is out.

The 987 looks like a cheap luxury car mixed with a cheap Ferrari, while the 986 just looks like a bare bones sports car with retro styling, definitely looks cheap in places, but it doesn't feel like it's trying as hard as the 987. 987 is a bit more Beverly Hills too clean. The 986 is more of a slut.

False. You clearly haven't spent any time in the 987. It's just as sweet as the 986. Frankly, a Boxster is a Boxster - they all drive and handle amazing.

You are practicing the ultimate in Porsche snobbery.

I never said it drives bad. All things stated are purely cosmetic opinions. Same as if I think guards red is better or carrera white. It's my opinion and others have theirs. Purely cosmetic.

944 guys are poor and live in trailers.

But that's ok since they're not real Porsches.

HEY! Not true! This one wasn't in a trailer court!

It just needed dusting off when I found it - nothing wrong with it at all. Well - it did have some cat prints on the top...

Well not a 100% true. I lived in a mobile home 35 yrs ago when I was Pvt in the Army.

As far as not real Porsche, well I'm used to this now since I've heard it for 20+ yrs of owning 944 turbo S. what's funny is I've blown away a lot of 911's with this car specially when they gave me a thumbs down but that's not important. What's important is we're happy and satisfied with what we have.

You know I've called 996's the bastard of 911's before. This is typically my response to them when they insult any of my cars. My reason or this is ealy 996 are only 911 from behind the driver seat. The front half is the same car as a 986. Seems like Porsche didn't know if they wanted to produce a 986 or a 996.

Wait a minute... he called the 986 a slut and said the 987 was Beverly Hills chick.

Who are you hanging out with lately Giller??!!

It's good that you love the 986 since that's what you have. I sure hope we all love what we have. I used to love the 986 - untill I drove a 987. Once I bought the 987 I gave my 02S to my son and he uses it as a daily driver.

I'm sure if I buy a 981 I will likely not care for the 987 anymore.

^ too obscure for a meme: You need to A) be fluent in more than one language (eliminates 90% of the population) and B) need to have premium cable TV (may not exist in 10 years) and if you satisfy both A and B, you need to be C) a fan of a particular show about fire breathing dragons, kights, zombies and other nerdy stuff. Oh and D) you need to watch said show from the beginning to even get the joke.

I think it perfectly represents BigJakeSpeak.

Or did you miss my "metaphorical meme"?

Oh yeah, you do know the show is based on BOOKS, yes? Couldn't you just read the books, too? Having read them, I do understand the challenge as they are longer that they average Shade of Gray.

Yes I know the author. He's from my old hood.

Then, A) you should have referenced the books, in addition to the shows. B) considered that the internet could have done the translation, thus most people, if interested, should be able to interpret the meme, C) Go knock on R.R's freakin door and tell him to stop commenting about the 5 characters he'd like to see in the show and finish the next damn book, and finally, D) Hodor.
