Re: DarkWeb Email warning

So I get an email today from the credit monitoring service provided by one of my credit cards saying they found our email address on the darkweb. The email included a click here button. I did NOT use the click here in the email instead I went to my credit card website directly and entered the monit...

Re: 1987 Bertone (aka Fiat) X1/9

I know this thread is dead right now but every time I see one of these I feel like it should get wide body fenders 9 inch wide tires and wheels in the front 10.5 inch wide tires and wheels in the back and a Fiat Abarth engine and transmission swap......I have this pipe dream that doing those changes...

Re: What twisted reasons do you admire the Porsche 996?

Amen! ((Battle Cry)) Yes, we're different. We don't look same as the others. We don't perform like the others. But our failures are unique, our past is behind us, and our future is laid before; therefore, let's stick together brothas. Life is too short to complain about how we were born. We're NOT ...

Re: New owner reached out after trading my old car in

You should read my original "renovation" thread and all the glued parts that I had to replace. I did have thoughts of beating the previous owner with a rubber hose. It has cost me a lot of money undoing what the PO rigged. I mean how in the world glues parts together on a Porsche? Sick, l...

Re: New owner reached out after trading my old car in

That's awesome. I wish I'd been able to track down my 996's past owner - I would buy that man/woman a beer for the IDP plenum alone. If I could meet the previous owner of my car I'd punch em in the face for pointlessly rigging aftermarket security systems and cheezy assed L.E.D. tail lamps into min...

Re: What twisted reasons do you admire the Porsche 996?

Probably my most twisted reason for loving the 996 is because most of the Porsche community looks past the 996 as an actual 911,and that means people aren't afraid to ruin their 996's, which in turn makes it easier for me to afford the price of entry. Plus people are less likely to fix stupid shit t...
