    He wants a 10 year old Boxster to drag at stop lights.... and put 19" wheels on it instead of 17".
    A) - too slow
    B) - if performance is your goal then 19" wheels are a waste on that car.
    C) - my 550i will roast you if I sneeze on the accelerator by accident. You chose the wrong car.

    I am not a Porsche fan by any means. The only one I ever thought of enough to want was the 993 series. The last gen of the air-cooled cars were sexy as hell to look at, and a blast to drive.

    Still a badasssssss car. They had a GT3 here (non turbo) and it's a beast even without boost. Up where I live the super cars are all over the place, and it's very...very flat here.

    I've said this before, in order to do what PFB is doing, he's either the son of the CEO of MONSANTO. Or working with Walter White in some meth lab on a FARM! lol

    Because FEW of us can afford to live such a whimsical, thoughtless and extravagant life and not pay the piper at such a "young" age! Or NOT have the police show up at our doorstep one day?

    Or, perhaps he just loves to tell "tall tales" that we're stupid enough to entertain?

    Either way CNH, this also explains the skinny jeans.....when coupled with the skateboard, spinning tires, just getting his license, and his concern for bigger rims on an older Porsche. Mid 30's my arse.....

    Toolfan, you might want to let your boss know that JC Whitney has 10% off everything AND free shipping with coupon code SW9BUYS. He better hurry, though, because that coupon code expires today !

    http://www.jcwhitney.com/jcwhitney/textsearch_result.jcw?sku=porsche&shopid=100001&filterid=d1858y2012g299&sku=porsche

    Pretty spiffy looking Husky Mud Flaps (it should be fairly easy to pry off the displayed Chevy bowtie emblem) ..... let's see ... scroll down ...... Oh, that'd be awesome .... "KLEINN HORNS HEAVY DUTY AIR HORN PACKAGE" .... that could probably be modified to play "Dixie" (pretty sure) ....

    .... "PLASMAGLOW FLEXIBLE LED UNDER CAR KIT " ?! Oh, yeah ! ....

    Well, just give your boss a heads up on these deals. I'm pretty sure he'd appreciate the input.

    DISCLAIMER: insert emoticons in appropriate places as needed. My emoticon toolbar has disappeared.
    Also, the search is for a 2012 model, but this stuff should fit. Probably.

    C'mon man, tell me he doesn't expect it by some of his posts. Just the title of this thread is enough to warrant scrutiny. Still, most of this is in good fun anyway. Kinda like that kid in High School everyone made fun of....then you felt sorry for them. Same thing.

    Just a photo, I hope, of my red 1964 356 SC Porsche.

    Consider getting this auto instead.

    It needs 19" rims...how could you even take it out of the garage with those stock rims?

    My thinking exactly! Pics of the wife that is! 'Cause I think he is full of $hit. I just can not see a woman in this day and age driving their 35 year old husband around. Then he says he is traumatized of driving after seeing his Dad in a wreck, after saying he wants to spin tires a lot or whatever. I am thinking the story here really is his 35 year old mom driving his 16 year old lying @ss around and is tired of it. He is probably really getting a Yugo or Gremlin or something along those lines.

    The Gremlin comment hurts. That was my first car (when I was 13 in the Dakotas where he says he is from).

    Not much else to do up there other than drive around or join internet forums to see what you can troll upon.

    Well its all done and dusted, now I wait for the car to be shipped. I cannot get my head round why all the fuss in the thread with everyone calling me a liar and stuff as its quite rude I think.

    Here is something funny Nguyendot actually joined the 986 forum just to post this .... lmao

    So my best friend actually purchased the very first, first gen Boxster in Oklahoma City way back when (1997?). Anyways that is not the point of me joining. Let's just leave this here: I bought a Porsche on ebay without knowing nothing about it


    And you will understand where I am coming from. My user name is same over there as here. This person is a new "troll", not the same one you accuse him of being. And yes, he's that hard headed.

    You know... I joined audioshark and love reading posts there and I get along but if I want be sarcastic to a bunch of guys who talk about their boxsters then thats up to me. I am not name calling like some one in this thread who called me a **** or nothing like that. Nor am I calling people a looser fllike Bob has because my wife has driven me around. Here is a little history about my wife, I love her and treat her good and am always nice to her. She has wanted for nothing and I have worked hard and provided her with anything she wants as we support each others passion so if all she has had to do is drive me around while I make all the money and bust my butt then for sure I am a looser

    Here is the next thing, I challenge anyone to prove my age wrong or that I have only gotten a my drivers licence the past 3 monthand I will put up $1000 to be deposited into a paypal account by anyone else who wants to put up a $1000 too to prove that I am a liar, you will loose because I speak the truth but many here know that I am not some troll who just makes stuff like that up

    No one is jealous of the gear you have dude, it seems you buy all this stuff just to show off on here

    This post just warrants a response, I do not know where this comes from because I love audio like everyone else here? I really have not bought anything and my gear is just midrange stuff. I buy stuff because I want to improve my experience like everyone else here so maybe you should post that in other peoples threads too and see how other polkies react.
