You're missing out, man - the conversation about "custom" caliper paint colors ("I'm thinking about painting mine to match the colour of my ginger pubes") is riveting.

Nope! FB is evil, run by a trump supporter and populated by Russian trolls. I did set up an account to locally post my Z-car to sell it, but haven't used it since.
Honestly didn't know there was a 996 page and your quote above is enough to make me stay away!

You are not doing anything to change my mind about banning FB from my life...
Never used. Never will. Running my own DNS servers in my house specifically to block accidental clicks and hidden tracking crap.
Somebody told me the same about bad stuff about Google...

The ginger pubes comment may have been artistic license.

And Apple, and Amazon, and Twitter, and AOL, and Comcast, and ...
There are degrees of evil and we have to pick our battles. I did block all of Google at one point, but unlike FB and Twitter it actually did have a significant impact on my life.

The 996 FB pages are where the cream of the crop show their idiocy!
I was kicked off, or left every Porsche FB page. I'm only on there now so I can try to find deals on military vehicles.

We're certainly all idiots here, but hopefully a more palatable style of idiot

While we're on the topic of people Jake might want to back over with a half-track: any of you all (besides B3) members of the Facebook "The Porsche 996 Carrera owners page" page?
To paraphrase Obi Wan, you may never find a more wretched hive of asshattery. The "align your center caps with your valve stems" crowd is alive and well.
I am a member of the FB group. The brits are entertaining to me, and once in a great while there is some useful information. But there are some real asshats on that group too...
My main reason for being on it is seeing the Euro spec cars with some different options and color combos than we see here in the US.
