nberry, this is getting funnier with each post.

Do I really have to repeat my previous answer (since you don't appear to have understood it the first time)? Well, here it is again <<yawn>>:

I'm just wondering which part of that answer wasn't clear? How can anybody think that I wasn't "acknowledging" that the brand does indeed play a part in one's choice of car. It's just not the ONLY factor - there are various other factors too!

Wrong assumption nberry It isn't superior in EVERY attribute that is important to me. I never said that. In my eyes, it's better "in certain ways" but not in various other ways. I would have thought that this would have been clear to you from my previous post:

Hey - I don't have to justify my purchase decision to you, nberry. How self-important of you to think that I should have to explain myself to you. Since I'm spending my own money, I only have to justify my choice to myself (and to my wife ).

This discussion has been about whether the GT-R is a serious threat to Porsche and whether Porsche will have to react to this threat, not about why I bought my car.

How funny! You often make these trivial and irrelevant legal references, nberry. It's tedious and puerile. Superficially, you seem to enjoy winding up other attorneys on this forum and think you are being clever but, the more I interact with you, the more obvious it appears to me that you have a 'professional' chip on your shoulder. No number of Ferraris will remove that I'm afraid.

As so often with you, nberry, this conversation isn't going anywhere or achieving anything (except giving you undeserved attention and indulging your inflated sense of self-importance ) so I will not be wasting any more time engaging in yet another fruitless, negative discussion with you so this is the last I have to say to you on this matter.

You only seem to derive pleasure from being condescending and contemptuous towards others by putting others down. Surely, aren't you a bigger person than that?

All of which again makes me ask myself the question that so many others here have asked: what exactly are you doing here on Rennteam, nberry?

I don't recall you ever posting photos of your road trips or track days in your F430. Nor have I seen you post scenic photos of your car in beautiful locations. Where are the positive aspects of your Ferrari ownership displayed here? What have you shared with us except your prejudices and negativity? Ask yourself these questions. You may find the answers may lead you to try something new and refreshingly different for a change.

Otherwise, nberry, I regret that spending years simply criticising Porsche cars and their (in your opinion) 'deluded' buyers will mean that, in my eyes, you will have shown yourself to be no more than just a 'one-trick' pony on this forum.

All the best,
Easy
