Re: 991.2 and future models
RC:spudgun:I feel for you. In my street almost every garage packs an AMG, 911 or classic sportscar. Friendly petrolhead neigbourhood, like every street in the world should be.
One of my neighbors got himself a 12C and had serious problems with the neighborhood for months, it even went up to the major. His "mistake": The car is yellow and apparently very loud (sport exhaust). He left it always in front of his house instead of parking it inside the garage, kind of a red flag for the people living around him. Now everything seems to be back to normal but me and my wife were really surprised how vicious and mean people could be. They didn't do any damage to the car but they escalated the whole thing to a level where even the major and the local police were involved, which is absolutely ridiculous. Car was technically "approved" and once the neighbors learned that (and his wife brought them muffins and cake to apologize), things calmed down. It wasn't pretty though.
I had a neighbor stopping me and asking me to slow down (I was doing 25 in a 30 kph zone ). He didn't believe me, so I reacted very angry (not insulting him though, this is not my style). Since that time (three years or so ago), he doesn't greet, I do not greet and everything is just fine. Welcome to a small catholic German town in Bavaria.
Can't be too Catholic, jealousy and lust are sins.
