See, this is what I don't get. The 986 and 996 went through four (yes, 4 - you read that correctly) revisions of the oil dipstick. Like, why? I managed to get the latest version last month as I had the second revision all this time. The last thing I needed was to grenade this stupid motor at the track. In hindsight, this could have been a good thing.
The nail in the coffin for me with Porsche was their incompetence between Porsche Cars North America + Canada vs. Porsche Motorsport North America. No level of stupidity for a company of this calibre can repair how I feel about ownership experience. I've run out of patience with them and really, it's just not fun owning a Porsche anymore. The local dealership network is going full on stupid with what they want to deal with and what they don't want to touch. Some of them will refuse you service even if you have aftermarket wheels and non-N spec Michelin tires. Why??????????? Ugh. A lot of honest independent shops are closing up because the owners are retiring and nobody wants to work on classic cars anymore. I feel for the aircooled guys here in the GTA because very few shops will even touch them, and several of the specialists passed away recently.
I just went through the TSBs for the RC-F and they are just outright stupid in comparison to say Porsche. I think I can deal with squealing brake pads.
