She set the hook with "only stalled it a couple times." Then she reeled me in with "it got really loud" and the "single" exhaust tip.
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.

I get a call from my wife a while back. �Honey,� she says, �would it be all right if I took the Porsche to Pleasanton to visit Lisa this morning? It�s such a beautiful day and I�ve been missing the T-Bird and I just think it would be nice to go for a drive with the top down.� �Uh, umm, ok,� I say, hesitating only because her experience driving a manual transmission consists of about 45 minutes in a parking lot with me two weeks earlier. �Are you sure you don�t want to wait �til I can come with you?� �No, I�ll be fine. There aren�t many stoplights and it�s mostly freeway driving.� What could I say? She had offered to sell her baby blue 2003 T-Bird to make room in the garage when I found my dream 2000 C4 cab six months earlier. �Ok, honey. Have a great time.� Holy crap, I�m thinking. Don�t worry. She�s capable and competent and was doing reasonably well in the parking lot. She�ll do fine�. I hope.
Somewhat surprisingly, I get back to work without too much worry. Then I get a call about an hour-and-half later. �How�s it going?� I ask. �Pretty well. I only stalled it a couple of times leaving the driveway, and once getting on Highway 4.� Ok, that doesn�t sound too bad. �Once I got on Vasco Road it was great. It was such a wonderful drive, with the wind in my hair. But then when I got on the freeway, all of a sudden, it got really loud. So I got off at the first exit. I�m in the Target parking lot now. I looked at the back of the car and it looks fine. Just like you showed me last week.� Uh, oh. I�m starting to get worried. I had installed the PSE the week before. I�m sure I torqued everything down to spec. Didn�t I? �Honey,� I said. �Are the exhaust tips there?� �Yeah,� she says, �it�s nice and shiny. Just like when you put it on.� �Um, put IT on? You mean, put THEM on, right? There are two tips. One on each side.� �No. There�s just the new one you put on last week.�
Now I�m worried. I should have paid a mechanic to do the install. �Are you sure there�s only one. There should be two.� What the heck was I thinking? �Maybe it fell off when I got on the freeway." Why did I buy into all that crap on Renntech about DIY being the way to truly get to know your new-to-you Porsche? "Can you drive out and look with me? Maybe we can find it. Is your calendar clear?� I'm an idiot. I'll never do another mod myself. �Uh, I�ve got a conference call in a while.� �Check your calendar, honey. Are you sure you�ve got something scheduled? Check your calendar. We can look for it together.� This is definitely not good. �I don�t need to check my calendar. I�ve got a conference call in a while. I can�t drive out there now.� �I think you want to check your calendar.� Check my calendar? Check my calendar? Ding. Ding. Ding. I must be the slowest guy around. I shouldn�t have to check my calendar to know it�s April 1st. What a fool I am. She didn�t even drive the Porsche�.
She lured me in beginning with the first phone call, knowing I feel bad about her T-Bird. She set the hook with "only stalled it a couple times." Then she reeled me in with "it got really loud" and the "single" exhaust tip. I deserved it, though. Too much Porsche obsessing.
