You should be ashamed to drive that POS...and you give all of us true owners of black 911's a bad name.

Well I never hated the 996 but I recall going to a dealer one time prior to the release of the 997 with the intention to buy a 911. I was full of expectation as I had never really sat in any 911 before but I had read so much on them and how great they were etc.

I was immediately disappointed with the interior when I sat in one. The particular car I was looking at had an interior that was a sea of sickly grey. I mean everything inside the car was grey. The leather seats, the steering wheel, door cards - everything. The whole effect was oppressive. The steering wheel and dashboard design also failed to impress. I knew straight away it was not the car for me. I think I was driving a BMW at the time and in the 90's BMW's were on top of their game.

^^^^You have a point about an all grey interior....just repulsive....unless there is a naked chick sitting in the passenger seat. Somethings can be over looked.

People be hating on wings. Your hate is unsolicited, but I understand it.

If I eat breakfast off my wing, will my car go down in value?

I hate bunnies, large noses, and small crunchy things in your ear.

I don't hate them, I just prefer the round headlights. I would still consider buying a 996 if the price was right though.

If you call that breakfast, you'll be dead long before the depreciation curve begins to head back north!

david, just five more posts and you're at 996.

I'm spending time on a message board hating on other Porsches.

I'm already dead.

And how did that oh so wonderful 3.6l motor treat you?

Free with every 5th Subway sub purchased isn't the right price?

I love when I see a 996 on the road.... Even more when I see a 996tt and the rear end of a nice wide 996c4s rivals most any rear on a 997 car.
Neat cars but happy where these cars have evolved to.

Hating on any lesser model car of any kind IMO just not a good look. Not for you, not your taste I get it. Dumb *** post like this, I don't get...

I wouldn't eat that dirty fatty gross bfast in or around that health conscious German car

Just asking - why the aggressive wing on a S? Did u also have to change the front bumper for aero?
