New Miata
 

Im considering the new MX5 Cup. Also building a SPB..... We will see.

I think you hear moaning, other people hear the reality of long-term ownership.
You are entirely too sensitive. :)
It's a forum. You understand the concept? You post opinions. If others don't like them they simply move onto one they do like. There are plenty of other Porsche forums where people like you get all bent out shape just because they don't like what they read and get into these back and forths.
Luckily prior to your arrival, we have managed to avoid being one of those type of forums. And really, this isn't the first time I've seen you bickering with forum members.

Just sell your Boxster, spare the rest of us from having to listen to your moaning of cutting down this car.

Well, it's officially a record, 7 notifications from other board members via email on this topic. As I have said to them before, too bad they don't have the cojones to speak up and be heard, I find that unfortunate but not uncommon in today's society.

I, as man of few and honest words, Prefer to call a spade a spade................

KRAM, you are a thin skinned manchild as I have noted in prior posts:

http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/56774-got-break-wear-light-3.html#post445701

Please regale us with more pictures of you in your "No-Mercy" shirt lol. Again I am embarrassed for you.

Perfectlap, while you and I have had our differences please don't let this low grade moron dislodge you from the forum Bard status, your knowledge is quite extensive.

Lastly, as far as "Man Card" points go PL kicks the crap out of Kram (who willingly chooses that username?) since he drives a Wussamatic (that he quickly eliminated from his signature lol).......Over and Out........:cheers:


P.S. How long have you (Kram) owned a Boxster? Look at PL's sign up date, look at mine..............

Lastly.............How many of your replies offering advice were from actual personal experience (meaning YOU TURNED THE WRENCHES) versus Googling things to make yourself look knowledgeable? Anyone in "The Know" knows..............Like I said....You Are a Manchild.

I see I give you life, you only come around to harass me. So your post has been reported. Have a good day.

Go ahead and call Mommy, in the meanwhile please answer the questions you pathetic small manchild lol.

You talking from experience or out your arse via Google?

Believe me, I along with anyone else here who has actually worked on a Porsche has your number.........A WANNABE lol, please spare us your BS advice Loser.

How did this go from an "Insult the Miata" thread to an "insult other members" thread?

Did I mention that Miatas are ugly? :p

Sorry PW, I only jumped in since several other forum members sent me links to this post.......BTW, having owned more than one Miata (and still do) they are great fun. No need to downgrade another make to feel better about what you currently have......................:cheers:

You are one funny dude. People email you lol. Your existence is miniscule on the forums here.

Thanks to Morons like you. I'm sure you will run off others in the meantime with real world experience / advice who've had enough of your hollow braggadocio. Again, I'm embarrassed for you........................:D

I know they are fun drivers, but I just can't get over the "guy sitting on an oversized skateboard" look. :D

No, sir. I don't like it. Like mentioned earlier, Miatas and Z3/4s just look too long in the front and short in the back. Purely aesthetic, but I just can't see past it.

Should be embarrassed for yourself, but then again you think so highly of yourself, no way possible. People email you lololololololololololol........:D

No Reply? Again.....Pathetic Manchild.,........:barf::barf::barf:

As a possible redemption for yourself.........Please list the Services and / or Repairs you / yourself have actually performed on your or ANY Porsche? PLEASE prove me wrong...............

If no worthwhile reply PLEASE SHUT YOUR PIEHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bet that doesn't happen lol..................

Dude, I look like Homer Simpson driving a 1960's pedal car, not kidding. Trying to look cool getting out of it is not possible lol. That being said there is no substitute for them at a SCCA Autocross......Great Fun....:cheers:

That should be ban worthy. :rolleyes:

Does it really matter if someone wrenches their own ride or not? Is that what determines if someone is a real Porsche owner or not?
Some of us just don't have the time or space or inclination.....

There's an older one down the street that has a big spoiler and a body kit.....to me I can't get past the fact it reminds me of a Landspeeder from the original Star Wars.

Lastly, as far as "Man Card" points go PL kicks the crap out of Kram (who willingly chooses that username?) since he drives a Wussamatic (that he quickly eliminated from his signature lol).......Over and Out.......[/QUOTE]

Common Cor....you're picking on a lot of owners by calling out those of us with tips. Nothing wrong with a Tip. Frankly, I find my PDK to be the best of both worlds....manual mode when you want to have some high-rev fun and auto mode for just cruising along with my arm around my girl.
I've had enough sticks over the years, the knees and ankles just don't like them anymore.

...seems like a full moon is coming up again
:troll:

I have a stick and a Tip. Love driving the stick, but the Tip is my daily because at 3,000 plus miles per month, half of it in gridlock city traffic, I'd likely have to have knee replacement surgery by now. ;)

I've always liked the Miatas, great vehicles overall, but they're never going to win a beauty contest as far as I'm concerned. My real issue with them is an illogical one. They suffer from the typical Japanese Car Syndrome. Extremely capable, reliable, and innovative... but with little to no character.
I know that's an objective opinion, but that seems to be the (original) point of this thread. I wouldn't replace my Boxster with one, and that's why. As silly as it may be.

Buddy, get over it. By it, I mean other people's opinions on this car!

1. It looks exactly like the catfish pictured, eerily.
2. I've brought this up before. I've put more into this damn car in 3 years than my ford ranger in 15. Hell, I'm afraid to sit too hard into the car, and get another F'n CEL!!
3. Will I trade or sell for a Miata? Personally, no way.
4. Not everyone on the interweb will agree with you 100% of the time. Accept this. Let it go. I came to accept some people on here actually LIKE cats! :confused:

Bad treatment over the IMS settlement, the AOS issues, sensitive plastic parts that cost $100's, common wear parts that cost $1000+, and so on. A potential buyer had better know this is what their getting into.

I'll call a spade a spade. Miatas are far more feminine than a tip in a Porsche. You have valid points, but lost me on the Tip comment. Wasn't cool, nobody should think less of their P car for a Tip trans. Seems they liked it enough to buy it, like a Miata or 2?

I'm seeing his point as KRAM offers googled advise, not from experience or from having made the repair personally.

If you have the cash to have it done, you're doing it right. I do it because of the sense of accomplishment and knowing every part and brand that was used.

The A Hole spammers all have more than one post and aren't banned. That's not ban worthy anyway. Continuing some stupid "that car is ugly", "IS NOT" 3rd grade ******************** fest should get someone banned. :rolleyes:

Opinions are like what?? (Everyone has one) so mine is different than yours. So what??

You guys are frankly missing my point, Timco caught onto it though. The "Wussamatic" comment was purely to yank Kram's chain, my DD is an automatic and I will never go back to driving a stick day in and day out.

The comment on Kram's inexperience with wrenching was made since he immediately bristles and lashes out at those who have the audacity to question his armchair advice, he hasn't actually done squat on the car himself.

Lastly, to my real point; It worked me up a bit to see him trying to run off PL who's been a member and positive contributor here for over 10 years. Who the heck is KRAM to decide who will and who won't stay?

I rarely come around here anymore, mainly because of people like Kram, therefore to a degree he is right, my opinion probably is less weighted than others. But I will say this; You guys deserve what you put up with.

I certainly do not. I research before I turn a wrench on my car. Just because that repair has not happened to my car, doesn't mean I do not know what could cause it or how to fix it.

I'm the only person that turns a wrench on my car. I don't have the equipment to remove, instal and balance tires, so that one gets farmed out. My car has been so reliable, for fun I've done modifications to make it faster. Mods to the interior to make it better.

He directly calls me names, that's a violation of TOS. Not just one little hint, but boldly doing it. The guy has zero class and thinks way too much of himself.

So now you're admitting to trolling me. This forum is better without people like you. Remember the Boogity, boogity, boogity thread? Nobody backed you and you said you were going to leave and not come back, take your own advice. I'm going to push to have you banned, nobody should be subject to your tantrums.

Keep Talkin'........................:rolleyes:

Time Out !
 

Isn't it about time for a moderator to step in and have a fatherly word with these quarrelling kids and suggest that if they wish to continue trashing each other, to do it via PM so the rest of us don't have to put up with it ?
BTW, I have both a Boxster S and a Miata SE, both 2003 vintage, and I like both of them, for different reasons. I still consider myself a male, with Tiptronic in the Porsche (always in "M") and 6 speed in the Miata.

A practical solution to the controversy......!

Yep, the exchange was unbecoming and should of been confined to PM's, no doubt.

As I stated other members emailed me (believe it not, don't care if you do) and my rub is that they don't have the guts to say something themselves. I obviously on the other hand have no problem speaking up.

Kram and I got off on the wrong foot and it frankly got uglier with every common thread we participated in.

Again, my real rub comes when members start bullying others and actively trying to run them off the forum, as Kram just did earlier here to Perfectlap who's been active and good source of information for over a decade here.


Not that it matters since I rarely come here but he did the same to me awhile back, I sparred with him prior so emotions were involved, not the case with Perfectlap though.

If no other forum members have the guts to stand up to that kind of crap the you guys deserves such bullies......Over and out......:cheers:

You're from Canada, You Can't be a male...................

Doesn't anyone have a sense of humor anymore?

Please refer to the Video section, this is what would occur if Kram and I were to square off in "The Octagon", chairs being launched by other forum members no doubt............

http://986forum.com/forums/video-center/57580-throw-me-chair.html

Gentlemen....have a seat!

I think there were more chairs in that ring than fans in the audience. I heard somewhere that professional wrestling may be fake....

Wow
 

This is my first and only forum and these fights seem to occur often. From the outside looking in it seems like some punk ass **************** ..... just sayin. I would like to see something face to face

You haven't been around much have you? Bold Talk................

Lol. Welcome to the Internet.

Read page one.

General Discussion - AR15.COM

And by face to face, you mean like me fly to Florida and kick your ass because you use a different motor oil? That kind of face to face? Or yell at each other via FaceTime and we get to watch?

Comments like this certainly don't help....

Miata?

After seeing where this thread went I am certain that they are demonic creations that spread hatred and evil across the land. A scourge to be shunned.

Sticking with my Boxsters.

HA that's funny, the Boxster is kind of wide and flat especially compared with a Miata.

I liked my NA Miata and I loved my 98 box. I will miss my 986 a lot but the replacement is going replace that miss of it pretty easily I think. I don't think I could spend the money on a Miata when I am getting a 13k mile C6 for 2/3rds the price of he Miata. I know I will have to apply for my AARP card now though.
