I found it to be a big advantage at the track, too, as it's just so nice to be able to flick gear changes with your thumb with both hands on the wheel.

Suggestion
She loved my old SC but had issues using the floor mounted pedals (not that she's good with shifting anyway) so I got the Tip because I wanted her to be able to drive this one.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Not a bad deal. Mine was nearly the exact same car (no accident history though) and it had maybe 120k when I sold it and I got quite a bit more for mine a few months ago.
Tim, being a Tip owner I guess I'm going to have to prove you wrong with this one! pics coming soon - (Tim I'll take requests just because you've been helpful)
speaking of dating, you know what dating an ugly girl with a flat chest and driving a mo-ped have in common... they are both fun to ride, till you see some friends.........
(you know how easy that would have been Tim)
I thought that would get a response from a Tip owner. I was just trying to
a little because the forum has been a little slow lately. Frankly, that comment was made for Nicholaas' benefit.
While there is nothing wrong with a woman with a flat chest, large breasts are, IMO, more fun.
There is nothing wrong with a Tip, I just think the 6-speed allows you a little more direct interaction with the car.
Requests for pics?? Awesome!!! Well first off, no ugly flat chested women pics.
How about a few good interior shots (I'm talking about cars now) of the front dash along with some nice rear end shots (I'm still talking about cars here).
As a DD andwhere in the US with traffic conjestion... how could you put up with anything other than a tip? That was the real clencher for me. I want to
love
my Porsche, not hate it two hours a day!
I found it to be a big advantage at the track, too, as it's just so nice to be able to flick gear changes with your thumb with both hands on the wheel. Not to mention allowing for smooth shifts during hard cornering that would cause lift oversteer or other "bad" things with a clutch. I find myself downshifting into a lot more corners than the manual guys (and thus getting right in the power-band and coming out faster), just because it's so effortless to shift with a tip. Between tip and PSM, I liken it to driving with cheat mode on.
He hits me with masturbation jokes and Nicholaas with chest references. Now, Tim - are you getting just a wee bit frustrated down there in Dallas?? Honda's just not doing it for you is it? Someone's got to buy this guy a Porsche to take his mind out of the gutter and back into the street.
Frustrated??? ME???? What in the blue hell gave you that idea???
And I greatly appreciate the offer. ".... above that..." No way, that's not who I am. I would love to have or drive another 996, but you are a little far away to just "drop on by for a drive."
Me knows - and you know I am just busting your b@lls !!
It would be cool though to let you take it out for a while and give me some pointers on where to best place my new Wing and tail lights
I agree. My comment was totally "tongue in cheek" and I meant no harm. If I had a stop-and-go commute every day, I would probably opt for a Tip. However, when I had my 996, I didn't experience that type of traffic so I could get a 6-speed. The few times I was stick in stop-and-go traffic due to an accident or road construction, it was tedious with the stick.
I didn't take your post as a stab for Tip owners - as for pics I don't have any of her in the car so I'll have to find something I can post here within' limits
WOW!!! I asked for car pics and you post wife (or gf) pics! Well screw the car pics!!!
Awesome pic!
Very tasteful, and very appealing and I say that with the highest respect for your lady!
Thanks for the compliments Tim - I read between the lines of your requests
She loved my old SC but had issues using the floor mounted pedals (not that she's good with shifting anyway) so I got the Tip because I wanted her to be able to drive this one.
I'll send some pics of her with the car via PM - funny thing I posted this picture and there's 90+ views and only yourreply, I guess you're a glutton for pics Tim
LOL
a guy I know (in DE's) has a 4s and tip.... fastest guy in the group, very hard to keep up with him... and he keeps it in auto.... the guy is an animal on the track.
More of the B&W pics.... very nice!
