Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Nicely done! Funny that the mid year air cooled cars (74 - 77) were the black sheep for many years. It fit's the 996 reputation perfectly today.

Nice photography! I think the owners of these cars do their best to "scatter the clouds" over the 996 within the greater Porsche community. My car gets a lot of attention from enthusiastic folks who only ask "Is that a real Porsche?", or, at best, "That's a 911, right?". Out of 30 odd encounters so far, nobody has asked me what's up with the headlights. Most people tell me to get black wheels. ( LOL, THX. ) I think for the (let me emphasize,) absolutely insane Porsche community the 996 could not possibly ever live up to the manufactured and ever-fluctuating standards of some individuals. I think lots of diehards will eventually forgive the un-roundness of things up front, especially as you pointed out in your video, as cars move away from the purity they once had.

After some time (after around 3 months of purchase) the headlights started to grow on me and yes, I am biased but I love them. And integration of blinkers, fog lights and everything into just one piece is actually a nice touch. Still, I have to confess (now I am whispering) that in terms of looks, my fave is 997 (not the interior though)
