Heh. That's about true with the "no that other full leather option isn't really full leather, THIS is FULL leather" optionEinsteiger wrote: ↑Fri Aug 05, 2022 10:13 am ...and the leather toilet seat liner in the travel kit.
After owning a 98 XK8 I always thought the interior of the 996 was rather meh given what all that leather cost. Then when I joined Rennlist (dammit) and started seeing all the interior complaints I couldn't figure out why they thought it was THAT terrible. Then in like 2013 I went to lunch with a co-worker who had driven his dad's stripper 996 that day. Then I understood what all the complaining was about.

Sounds like it's time to wake up the gimp!

Well, this IS a Porsche forum, so hookers & blow are prerequisites.
Especially for attorneys who drive Porsches. Or so I've heard.
I fully recognize we are for the most part too old and lame to handle hookers and/or blow.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.
Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Why do lawyers drive Porsches? So they can catch up to the ambulances faster.
Sorry....never pass up a good straight line
