Trolls usually don't become supporting members of the forum.

But I do believe you are right about the gloves and ascot. Also, the smoking jacket and turtleneck dickie erforderlich ist...

Pulling off the entire center console in the interior just to get at the spark plugs. My dad had an Astro back in the day, and I just had a twinge when you mentioned that!

Don't listen to all of these PC, C5 Corvette owning pansies.
Your post is funny as hell. People take the interwebs too seriously.
Who cares, as long as your behind the wheels of something running, let the good times roll.

I'm a car guy and car guys need to be able to open the hood and say; "there she is! There's the heart that powers this baby!" If I can't do that, then what's the use? For God's sake, the Audi R8's engine has a glass cover and is lit up with neons. It's something that I never understood with the Boxster and Cayman. At least the 911 allows you some unrestricted access to the engine.

It's like being married to a beautiful woman and not being able to ever see her naked.........

Was remembering back in the early 90's, someone put a 350 chevy in a Porsche, here are two samples of it below.. So you can do either;
1) Kinda stay on this forum, but just not post anything..
2) Stay on this forum and only post close ups of the engine area....
3) Leave this great forum, join a Porsche forum, posting only the exterior....
4) Create you own forum because no Vette or Porsche forum will have you..

Got to have some fun sometimes, enjoy what ever ride you want, your ok by me...
