But his previous byline was way better. I think you missed that one.

Alexa, what does "a bit Frunky" mean?
Alexa: "Not funny."

So here's an example of how Porsche owners get a bad rep. Driving today and see a Taycan Turbo S. First one I've seen in Lincoln so I pull up along side, roll my window down to get his attention. Dude is a 60 something looks over and I give him a big smile and a thumbs up. His response...a condescending grin followed by looking away.
I have all kinds of people pull up on me in the 996 and the Type R to give a thumbs up or make a positive comment. I always try to show humility and thankfulness. I do the thumbs up to fancy sports cars, hot rods and classic cars. Folks always nod back or show some sort of acknowledgement and thanks.
Everybody...but this arrogant dick.

A) New Porsche owners tend to have bigger dickish tendencies than owners of older cars.32wildbilly wrote: ↑Tue Oct 19, 2021 5:49 pm So here's an example of how Porsche owners get a bad rep.

B) P!g, P!glett, Panny, and Taycan owners are much less likely to understand or look for the friendly wave. Consequently the others rarely acknowledge them as they've become used to being ignored of getting a dick response.

That sucks, Billy.
Anecdotally, the other day I was rolling out of my work and came across a bright orange McLaren P1 on Montana tags (naturally,) and so I had the opportunity and I thought why the hell not - rolled down my window and gave the dude a huge
. Next light the guy comes TEARING up to me, slams on his brakes, rolls down the window and his passenger throws out a response and I notice the driver has his coming out of his window and all three of us are grinning and laughing. Great moment. Probably rented but who cares!
Oh I was in my 2008 Audi A4 for what that matters.
Totally this.
