I twist the key again and the engine roars to life, filling the air with the unique sound that typifies a 3.6L Flat Six with PSE waking the nabors.

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.

Sunday morning, 7:30. September in Minnesota. It is cool at 55 degrees. Crisp and quiet. Sun beaming through the leaves tinging everything it touches with gold. I twist the key of my 996 C4s just to Aux to start the electronics and oil countdown, the familiar click breaking the silence. I twist the key again and the engine roars to life, filling the air with the unique sound that typifies a 3.6L Flat Six with PSE waking the nabors. Slowly I back out of the garage and down the driveway letting the engine oil warm up in the cool fall air.
sunroof open, I ease onto the main drag and work my way gently through the gears waiting to open it up on the winding roads ahead.
I turn through a quiet neighborhood, the engine noise buffeting off of close houses and trees. I realize how fast I am already going and back off the throttle. Prrutt, prrutt, prrutt the engine reports, wanting to go faster rather than slower.
The winding road is just ahead. The entrance haloed by old growth oak and maple trees, their leaves vivid red, orange and yellow. The sun making each leaf glow as if lit from within. The dried leaves on the road crunch as I turn onto the road and then let the 911 loose. The car grabs the road beneath its wheels like it is hungry, digging in, greedily grabbing at pavement. The noise, vibration and the feel of wind on my neck make me feel alive and I cannot help but laugh as I let the revs go higher before shifting. Second, third, fourth, fifth, I am flying now. Leaves kicking up a shower behind me. A lake sparkles in the morning sun to my right as sleepy homeowners wake to my thunder. Prrutt, prrutt, prrutt, I slow to take a sharp curve. Brake in a straight line, accelerate through the curve. The car again grabbing pavement, holding the curve flat, g forces pulling my shoulders to the outside as I accelerate through the corner to the apex and then plunge down a short hill.
The car is alive now. Willing me to give it more throttle, go faster. Who needs a radio when you have this kind of glorious noise echoing through the narrow passage between heavy trees, their blanket of leaves acting as a buffer to keep the noise close to me rather than dissipating to where I have to strain to truly appreciate it. Downhill to another curve, downshift, slight brake, here�s the corner, a little more throttle as I swing easily right and onto another straight patch of road. The car follows my every movement as if it knows where I want to go and how fast. I glance at the speedometer, I am doing (censored) but it may as well be (censored). The curves and undulations in the road remind me of some of the tighter F1 tracks and I am racing for the win.
1) It's gonna take more than a loud exhaust to wake Jim Nabors.
2) Sounds like a fun drive.
3) Replace a few nouns, and this would definitely be Penthouse Forums materials... (Dear Penthouse Forums: I never thought it would happen to me, but...)
Thanks for all the feedback; I've driven river road in my old 545i, great time and in a 911 it would be something special.
