Starter986 Broke the "What did you do with your Boxster" Thread

No more posts can be added!

Must be because of his most recent asinine comment!

So, why is the paint job so 'obnoxious', Starter? Because the car looks better than yours?

It's probably because nhuy570 uploaded his new paint job with high resolution photos that got Starter to comment on it. The results will vary from viewer to viewer so you may not see it. For Desktop/Tablet users it's super annoying with 1080p resolution or lower. It takes over large portion of the page and requires good amount of scrolling to pass that post. For users with higher resolution displays than that it's not as bad and can be scrolled away easily like on my phone (2960 x 1440)

If you're interested I can hold a 2 minute ZOOM in-service to instruct you on proper scrolling techniques.

Have a great day, Handsome.

Yes, I figured as much. But since he didn't clarify, one could easily assume he meant the paint was obnoxious, which was the subject of the post.

Plus, I was joking anyway. I think Starter knows that, even if the emojis don't give it away.

P.S. I just realized I have to scroll right again AFTER hitting the 'quote' button. So I take it back, Starter did NOT break the thread!

Ha Ha! Yes... the emojis gave it away.

Plus... I was scrolling down the page to get to the most recent post and BAM BAM BAM those pictures hit me like, well, a forty-foot photo. I didn't even read the post at that point as my BPD kicked in (b itch personality disorder). That the post was about his paint I didn't know until you mentioned it. HA!!

Cheersm, Pal.

Yeah, enormous images make this a thread pretty much unusable.
