Anyone know if he has left the site? Haven't seen him post in a long time, his knowledge was invaluable and saved me lots of money. Just curious.

Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

+1, I've had the same thought recently. Maybe he is too busy at work, you know fixing blown engines and RMS issues, to post on RL. LOL
+2 on that..... very knowledgable guy when it comes to our passion

Oh no you didn't?!?!
Quotes source post: 5611529
Not only would he tell you how to do it, he would give you all the tools needed also.
wasn't he at The Collection?
He also could detect BS from responders who didn't really know what they were talking about when giving advice. Hope he returns, he was very informative about our Porsches.
This isn't the first time he went MIA........ https://rennlist.com/forums/cayenne-[phone removed]-2010/364853-anybody-know-what-happened-to-brad-99firehawk.html I heard from him via PM last time he went MIA but it is not my place to say why. Hopefully he posts back as he has a good knowledge base to help out here on RL.
I hope it wasn't conflict with his dealership (or wherever he works), the newbies do not know how valuable he is. We all have some specialties on the 996 but lets say he has all the bases covered.
Quotes source post: 5614215
Yup. I hope he comes back also.... it's always good to have someone cut through the BS.

We still have 1999Porsche911.... 15w-40 FTW!
Quotes source posts: 5616027, 5617063
Yea, kinda hard to argue with someone who works on these cars everyday. Does FTW mean F%@k the World? I feel so left behind on acronyms since hanging in OT.
FTW = For The Win IBTL = In Before The Lock FTL = For The Loss IBTG = In Before The Glip (lock) http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/Ftw

...add that to the list of useless things I learned on Rennlist.
Quotes source post: 5617462
Agreed.
Quotes source post: 5617910
We learned the important ones in kindergarten. That is what matters right?
Quotes source post: 5617948
yup - don't eat yellow snow. Follow that rule and all is well.

O I C I wished I was told that......j/k
Resurrection..... Is he gone forever?
He's around, but not posting. His profiles shows him as last active at 8:30am yesterday.
Quotes source post: 6001843
Hopefully he's helping out. I thought of him when the Porsche tech student talked about learning how to rebuild the M96.
Yeah... I'm sure he has a reason for not posting... but as you said, hopefully he's sending PMs.
We appreciate all your help firehawk.
Maybe he was dismayed by the recent trend on the OT forum. (just kidding. kind of. mostly.)
Quotes source post: 6003067
i can see that. i don't even look on that subforum any more. i decided that it was much better if i just treated rennlist as a car forum and ignored everything else about it.
I regard OT being like the Wild West on crack... not a pretty place to venture if you're a reasonable and rational person.
the wise just listen when there is nothing to say.....
I stll come around to answer pm's every now and again. It got really aggrevating having a few people argue with me all the time, not that I know eveything or even most things, but when people who wont even back up their statements do it, it took all the fun out if. I even had one guy blame me for something he screwed up. So I stay out of the fourms for the most part, but will log on when people pm me. So thanks for missing me, if I can be of help feel free to email or pm
Good to see you back Brad. We value your contributions! Some of these people are full of it - just take them for what they are. If they cannot recognize your skills and value, then screw 'em.
All Right Brad you're still there. Happy Thanksgiving.
Ben was banned and the rest of the trolls know their place. I don't spend much time here either lately for the similar reasons but I will admit the tone has started to take a tone for the better lately. Good to hear you're still hanging around
Quotes source post: 6038150
yep, where did Ben go?
Quotes source post: 6038216
John banned his ***. He's now trolling over at 6speed.
Quotes source post: 6038336

Good to hear from you Brad... as long as you still stop by once in awhile its all good. Hate to see the good ones go. Everyone needs a holiday!
