Reported cause
I've even on occasion given kids rides in the car when it was the child of someone I knew (so that some random guy wasn't offering to drive off with their kid).
Leading evidence: 'child of someone i knew (so' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'child of someone i knew (so' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace context' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

pouring used motor oil on the heads of developmentally challenged albino seals - seems potentially more egregious than flicking a Big Red wrapper out the window of your F250.

Which Rolex were you wearing when you dissed the guy with the crappy Cayman (that can probably run circles around you and your 996?)

Also, Caymans - especially the S - can easily give the 996 a run for its money.

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.

Yup, we let others sit in our car at shows. My wife and I did a frame off restoration (most of the work ourselves) of a mid-'50s Ford convt, and have shown it (and won) at national councours events as well as local events, cruise nights, etc.
If a kid seems really interested, and his parents seem aware (i.e. not letting the kids paw the cars, etc), Ill often offer to let them sit in the car, take pics, etc. One time the whole family climbed in and I took the pics for them. Ill also usually offer for older folks who "used to have one just like this..."
Its the best way to help light a spark of interest in the hobby for kids. Most people view it as being extremely gracious and generous, and are grateful that someone was kind and made their car accessible.
Ive also let people sit in it, as well as the P-car, when stopped for gas, at the hardware store, etc....
For all you know, the guy with the cayman has a 918 spyder in the garage at home, BTW...
Back to the point, I live in Fla, there are alot of car shows here. Endless number of really good exotics and expensive cars. I travel across country 2 or 3 times a year. After I get away from north fl and Atlanta, I very rarely see any good cars. Theres a much lower % of good sports cars outside of major cities.
That actually isn't the point....if you go back and read the OP original post (which I quoted in the first reply; he has since deleted his), the point is he was a total tool to a guy with a cayman who was trying to be nice to his kid.
One of OPs other since deleted comments was asking if anyone lets others sit in their cars....
I think you guys are being a little tough on the new guy.
The exchange probably didn't come off as harsh in person as it does in a forum post.
I've had folks at car shows offer to let my kids sit in their cars. I've done the same with kids who seemed really interested. I've even on occasion given kids rides in the car when it was the child of someone I knew (so that some random guy wasn't offering to drive off with their kid). That next generation of Porsche owners is out there growing up dreaming about the day they own one. I still remember my first ride in a Porsche when I was 14!
I had not read this thread. I'm not going to blast the OP, but a true sport car enthusiast appreciates all of them as each has its own uniqueness and this kind of mindset should be fostered in our children as they grow up. So, yes, take the man's offer then talk cars and share stories - win win.
Also, Caymans - especially the S - can easily give the 996 a run for its money. Just in case you didn't know.
I know and it's OK. The man is happy, he loves his car, and he is kind enough to want to share. Just go for it. Even if I rolled in in a 918 Spyder, I'd still take him up on the offer. That's just good enthusiastmanship. I rather have that than some douche that shows up and puts "Do not touch" signs all over his car; my thought about those guys is: Why the hell even show up? Just park that thing at home and don't bother.

Yeah, op. Way to be a dick to someone who drives a "lowly" cayman. At least man up and admit you were being a tool - and clearly you didn't feel too bad about busting the guy's *****, as you felt compelled to go online and share your awesome Cayman "burn." At least the Cayman made it to the show and wasn't sitting in a garage bleeding oil out of a popped cam end cap.
SMH...
You're right, OP. The guy with the Cayman was WAY out of line, thinking that a kid at a car show might want to sit in a cool sports car. What a presumptuous ***! Everyone knows that kids think sports cars are stupid...ESPECIALLY the kids at car shows.
I bet OP would still get butthurt if someone in a 991 (you know, someone with a REAL 911 at home) did the same thing to him...
For those of you who still wonder why Porsche guys don't do the wave like Corvette guys do: because this thread.
What does your 911 look like, or are you not Proud enuff' of it to put it in your Avatar or Signature? jw! Also, since i didn't see the OP since you Deleted it Why didn't you take yours to the car show?
OP, this could have ended after the first comment. All you had to do was say "I'm sorry! I just re-read my original post, and it sounds way worse than I intended." Done, and although there may have a few piling on, most would have moved on to another thread. But no, you had to double down. (Especially, as 5chn3ll points out, your car was probably at home, broken and leaking oil.). I started to feel sorry for you, until you posted again. Hopefully you're not a bad guy, but so far I have no interest in meeting you.
LOL, this is brilliant stuff here! Guy with a $20k 911 that's currently disabled busts the ***** of the guy with a functional Cayman S that's worth more.
Based on:
This is the "front" of the engine on passenger side. First why did it come out!!!!!
pun about your kid getting to "sit" in daddy's 911 at home is actually very accurate, no riding around in 911 with daddy for obvious reasons. If you were cool to the dude, there could have been a chance you kid could go for a ride in a functional mid-engine Porsche.
Aside from the outright douchery, why was "mid-engine" in quotes? I guess OP isn't convinced that the mid-engine design is sound. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani, and Koenigsegg - along with Porsche - are sure to be bummed...
Sounds like Cayman guy gets extra credit for not just giving you the finger.
Which Rolex were you wearing when you dissed the guy with the crappy Cayman (that can probably run circles around you and your 996?)
You missed OP's other threads about leaking coolant, oil seeping from the top of the motor, and oil dribbling from the IMS flange.
Holy crap, I didn't even realize this was the same guy...makes it even better. As you said, he deprived his son of a chance to go for a ride in a real WORKING Porsche.....
Alright guys.... Elvis has left the building. Drop it already.
Let's dig up old, open JI threads and see if we can taunt him to close them....
(I just noticed he is watching us!)
Thanks Guys... Seriously. You would rather take the side of some made up person rather than a new member to the community that actually has a 996 and is looking for support from fellow owners.
so really I get it.
So you made the guy up? Hell, man, if I'm going to make someone up, I'd probably make him a her, and she'd be hot, and my wife would be cool with it (and not just "sure, I'll hold the camera" cool with it...).
My fictitious character wouldn't be some guy at a car show I imagined for the sole purpose of being dickish to him...
I want to know at what point our unconditional support for strangers on the internet who have the same car should end. Just let me know where to put this line:
>-----oh hell no-----<
Engineered genocide
Legalized slavery
Mass murder
Serial rapist
Armed robbery
Reckless driving
Being a huge DB in real life
Being an imaginary huge DB
Jaywalking
Littering
Swearing
Ok,
You guys win. The Way I posted it did come across as me looking like the douche, But please believe me when I say The way this guy came across was as a pretentious Douchebag. So that's why I said no thanks for my son sitting in his car and that I have a 996 at home. He looked surprised, not embarrassed which was the wrong word.
Maybe no one paid his car any attention and when I walked by he wanted to have a kid interested in it the way his was once??? who knows.
My son loves cool cars and trucks, etc everything a kid does and if my son showed interest in any car and the owner offered to sit heck yea I would want him to.
But again believe me this owner was the kind of guy that gives Porsche owners that snobby stereotype.
I didn't relay that clear enough and never actually said "daddy got a 911 at home" that would be gay.
Yes my car was at home missing that cam plug, and I brought a different car in the show.
Hope this changes context.
I'm not entirely sure your list is in order. Example: You can be a reckless driver without necessarily being a huge DB. Littering is at the tame end of the list, but some littering - i.e. pouring used motor oil on the heads of developmentally challenged albino seals - seems potentially more egregious than flicking a Big Red wrapper out the window of your F250.
Sincerely,
A Huge DB (real life or imaginary? Dunno.)
If you say so, OP, I'm inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt. Your original description made you sound like a giant DB - like big-white-nozzle-instead-of-a-head-with-water-and-vinegar-shooting-out-of-it douchebag - but if the Cayman guy was in fact being a tool, a burn was appropriate.
The great thing about the Internet is we get to jump to conclusions, prejudge people, make incorrect assumptions, and otherwise choose to denigrate people in ways we wouldn't ever do in person, sometimes implementing colorful profanity, outlandish comparisons, and other linguistic less-lethal weaponry. If I misjudged you unfairly, I'm sorry.
Having been the guy with the non-911 Porsche, I've seen the "I've got the
REAL
Porsche" dick move too many times in person...it's much the same dick move those of us with 996's sometimes see the "
real
" 911 owners (you know, the ones with lawnmower engines) make.
Anyway, good job explaining yourself instead of just getting butthurt and closing the thread (*cough*John Ireland *cough*).
Obviously for this stable of fine gentlemen (the 996 forum) the line would have to be above Reckless Driving. Dreadfully, that would mean everyone here is a huge DB in real life and at the same time an imaginary DB. I'm confused.
Actual argument at work today...all Muppets are puppets but not all puppets are Muppets. I will raise the douchebag in real life vs on-line life tomorrow and report back.
What if I'm for engineered genocide against stupid people? What if I'm not capable of carrying such dreams out, but still really want to? Above or below the line?

You uneducated tool. Don't you know that 996 owners are only allowed to make fun of 944 owners? Now thats a real POS fake Porsche. Theres even an epic thread about it.
I'm with the OP. I had a similar encounter at a local car show. Someone said "Nice Car" and I replied "You'll never own one you stupid nun. Now turn your wheelchair around and go away before I put a serious beat-down on your ***"
Not sure what I did to see this thread pop up on my screen, but I'm glad I clicked on it...
This had me crackin' up big time!
Remind me to never get on the bad side of this crew!
Priceless...
Since you 996 guys are like brothers (well, step-brothers), I'll share my best "Yo Mama." This one should be held back - wait until the other guy is tapped out and digging out the really crappy ones like "so fat she irons her pants in the driveway" and then unleash this beast:
Yo mama is so ugly, you can shove her face into dough to make gorilla cookies
�
.*
*If the crowd is mature, you can go with some of the more off-color jokes ("Yo mama so nasty, all you got to do to knock her up is jizz on the ground and let the flies do the rest"), but Gorilla Cookies is a solid performer for mixed-age crowds.
Me neither.
I got the one about the flies...since that's as old as my grandma...but wtf are gorilla cookies???
I'd google it, but I'm afraid it would be a repeat of the pink sock...
I got to see the Sanford and Son taping several times . When they were not taping Red Foxx would tell jokes ,joke with the audience .Funny and xxx rated comedy.Their were no minors there of course .I think "Knockers Up " was one of his early albums .
