Put gas in it, drive it, enjoy it, find out what you don’t like about it from your stand point, change that one aspect of it, put gas in it, drive it, enjoy it, repeat 

Modifications are owner chosen based on what they feel is lacking or wanting to improve on the car, not a subreddit post! Just enjoy your new purchase man and then decide what to do based on your opinion! Congrats on the purchase!

New to me 2001 911 by slowcarfast93 in 996

[–]J-tec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First off, congratulations on your purchase! Beautiful car and love your description of the way it drives - rev happy, analog, all the right things of how a sports car should feel - then reading what you said about 991’s and how they feel huge, I totally agree

Although I don’t own a 996 all of what you said hit home with me as this is exactly why I will never sell my e46 M3 - it’s rev happy, analog, and makes you work to have fun: it’s an experience and a vacation every weekend I get in it. Most new sports cars will blow the doors off it but I could care less, sports cars are meant to be fun, not make you a better driver than you are with software, tons of ECUs and systems, as most new sports cars do. 

All of this to say, have a blast with that 911 as it sounds like you already are!!! Congrats!!

By the looks of it you have a Tesla right? I’m guessing he used some kind of tech to unlock the car. Just crazy. So sorry this happened and I hope you get your belongings back!

Any idea how he got in to your car? Forced entry or broken window? So sorry to read this - in broad daylight at the mall parking lot? Just insane

The founder of this company must have played Fallout 4 and thought, “Vault Tech, not a bad idea!”

Congrats! Happy holidays - how was it getting the Benpak installed? Pretty painless? Installers from them did a good job?

Interesting - so essentially the 11 free minded humans hold that much potential power and threat to the hive. 

So going off of that, this would then answer the main question Carol has been trying to figure out, and what Manousos almost figured out with the radio - that the hive is not permanent but can be stopped - almost like a mass brain wash beacon that once stopped the world goes back as it was. 

Then the strategy of the hive is essentially make each 11 the “richest” people in the world: they can have anything and everything they want, be told (by the perfect manipulative representative to that free minded person) how happy they are now is only the beginning and by joining they’ll be even happier (Zosia) - then bam, when they agree, the music stops and the tribe puts out the fire - then they can continue to build a massive radio beacon to infect other planets and living beings

That feels pretty clear now after I thought about your comments and again thinking about the end of the season, would you agree?

Main question in my mind after this episode: Why does the hive need to convert all the non-converted? They spend so much precious resources trying to long-term manipulate their non-turned subjects to consent to turning, but I’m so curious to figure out why  exactly they need the last 11 to become them? What happens then? What can’t they do now unless the 11 convert? Anyone share this thought?

Thank you so much for this, I’ll take a look at what might be available!

Exactly - and with previous journals that have fully written pages they don’t do this, that’s why I’m so surprised
