Yeah, this kind of post is a good way to meet some annoyed guys in expensive sunglasses.

If that’s the silliest thing I’ll read all day, I’ll count myself fortunate at the end of it.

(Shrug) When you change a perfectly functional design for no reason on Earth other than to say you changed it, it should hurt.

It means Porsche does their engineering with CAD programs, dynamics simulators, and advanced test equipment, while Ferrari does theirs with press releases.

Meanwhile, Porsche will be building the next 911 on the Panamera platform. Said no Porsche press release ever.

Put the waste in Antarctica, where it’s out of the way and no danger to anyone. That way, we can get it back when/if we need it.

Also, while I trust Porsche to build a DCT, I can’t see buying one from any Italian manufacturer.

OK, Dexter.

More like the other way around. Unless you just wanted to be the first person to buy a cell phone, a personal computer, or a car with 400+ horsepower.

Yeah, it’s great to know that if I’m ever kidnapped and locked in the trunk of my Boxster I’ll be able to escape. :-|

(Shrug) There’s way weirder shit than that on this planet. I don’t see why anyone would be expected to know that those are fake.

I’m interested in principle, coming from the perspective of a fan of two-seater Porsches who, being unwilling to buy an $80,000 four-banger, now has nothing to spend money on.

THIS IS RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS

Why design, manufacture, and destructively test an entirely new shifter when the old way worked just fine?

Huh? There’s no blanket prohibition against amateur radio activities on military bases, nuclear or otherwise. Apparently the Navy actually sponsored a club station at one point ( https://www.facebook.com/VQ9X-Diego-Gar… ) but recently shut it down, so “hams who visit Diego Garcia will have no choice but to use their…

$100?! Seems like ham radio would have been a popular hobby around there.

(a) Because the parking pawl 0n an automatic transmission is more than capable of holding the car by itself, if the car is actually in Park.

When you change the way things work for no reason and people die as a result, you can expect some criticism.

Human factors are a thing. Other industries such as aviation have learned this by killing a lot of people. Sounds like it’s time for FCA’s engineers to read some of the same books.
