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.

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