Probably because the only people posting on page two had signed onto the forum for the EXPRESSED intention of taking pot-shots at each other.Originally Posted by 911pcars
When I read threads like that, it disapoints me to an extreme level, how something so irelevant and ego-driven can spoil a good time. That comment is for BOTH sides of the coin, BTW.
I was just embarrassed at how bad that whole thing made US look. I don't mean R Gruppe "us" I mean Porsche owners "us". Well, I guess we have to keep up our reputations like the old "what's the difference between a Porsche and a porcupine?" joke.
I used to own an Audi A4 and was quite in to the Audi scene. Those guys were really cool and were very enthusiastic about their cars too. I'd much rather be associated with them and their German cars than R Gruppes identifying with muscle car hot rodders.
Oh well, I guess no one ever said we needed to be ambassadors of good will towards other marques enthusiasts, right? Plus, let's spend our entire lives reminiscing about Porsche's 30-40 year old "glory days" while Audi goes out and dominates LeMans for the last what, 4 or 5 years while Porsche builds a freaking SUV? What have you done for us lately Porsche?
How could the Audi owner possibly know that that particular parking lot was the holy land and was the annual Porsche "event" most looked forward to by quite a small number of early 911 owners?
Whew! I had to click on the closed thread to be sure I wasn't one of the badasses. Me? I can see both sides. Hey...at least it was an Audi instead of the car that decided to park "too close for comfort" next to me @ Cambria '01. I left a nasty note on his windshield: "Do they pay you to drive this?" The car? Pontiac Aztec!

Is it just me? Or does anyone else find it interesting that an innocent bystander(the Audi Station Wagon guy) who knows nothing about any Porsche event somehow found, and replied to, a thread on the obscure Early S board regarding his car???? Small world, I suppose.
Well, dealerships used to be called Porsche/Audi

...I doubt very much that this fella would have done the same in the middle of a low rider gathering!
the fact that he gave different versions tells all...arrogance vs cluelessness..
