Come on, guys. This is the lunatic fringe. Unlike the real world, gearheads are the norm here.
If I could afford it, I'd never turn another wrench.....cept maybe for old times sake (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

I never really liked wrenching, but screwing has always been a favorite.

You know, not knowing shit about what is under the hood is not an automatic indication of a penis for a probiscus. Brad pointed out to me today that what I thought was a oil cooler under the engine lid of my 911sc was really the remnants of air con. Good thing I am not insecure!

Ironic. The persecuted always persecute the most.
So everyone is supposed to be a wrench head? |

I understand if some people dont have the time, resources, or know how to wrench on their own cars, but its something you should be ashamed of and not publically admit. If you have to go to jiffy lube to change oil, you should NOT be driving a porsche. Oh well, I give my toyota friends a hard time for not replacing their struts and basic maintenece. I feel like if you save on labor, its just more money you can put into better parts.

I don't understand what non-car people do on the weekends. Life must really suck not to be able to get out and work in the shop. I have to be building something. Fabrication or deconstruction is a way of life.
I have talked to non-car people (the great un-washed) and don't get it. It ain't that scary to open the hood. Some new cars don't specify an oil change interval until 10-15k miles. The Boxster had something like a 10k mile oil and filter change. With Synthetics and such an engine can go much longer. |

QUOTE(spare time toys @ Nov 13 2004, 06:58 PM) I guess I have gotten used to the fact that everyone I know works on thier cars. I have four friends at work who have Porsches they work on them the Vette guys work on thier cars, heck even the couple of Vipre guys fix thier own cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) Well tonight I took me girl over to a friends house and knew her dad had a Porsche. Cool I think another P car guy I will get to know. He comes to the door and I ask him about his Porsche and tell him I have a 71 914. He says his is a Porsha ( correcting my yanky pronunciation) C4s. I say cool and tell him I am heading out to Cal. in a couple of weeks to get a 928 for the engine and put it in the14. He has the deer in the headlights look (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) and tells me " I take my car to the dealer when it needs anything" I look at my watch whoops gotta go :rolleyes: I bring my Boxster to the dealer for everything since it is under warranty and I dont have a garage to work on the car. Also saves me a trip when they find warranty work. I think many 996/997 drivers take same approach. I do basics on my current 914, but frankly I would rather pay a good 914 mechnic to work on my car. I use to do all the work on my past 914's, but I find I just get frustrated with lack of garage and tools where I live now. I think a variety of people enjoy Porsches (Porsha and Porsch). Some are mechanically clueless, but they still enjoy their cars. I dont think you have to know how to wrench on a car to be part of the "in club". |

Yea those whine & cheesers really reak in my book.
Check book mechanics are all they really are. They buy their way into a hobby and then show up at car shows and other events wearing their pitiful kaki shorts and polo shirts acting as if they are really into what's going on around'em.You usually see'm wearing a brand new ballcap,It's there to keep the B.S.their full of from spewing outa their head and exposing them for what they are.They wouldn't know a wrench from a hammer even if ya hit'em with it.Never work on nothing,always paying someone to do everything for them. They almost always are condescending to the rest of us That actually have done a ground up resto. These are almost always the guys that you see at a Barrett-Jackson auction sellin some car advertised as having 50K worth of work done to it and taking home a check for 25k. No real love for a marque,just spending money trying to be cool,but knowing theier not when they get home and look in the mirror. R |
