That applies to all the German manufacturers now, it seems. My wife's BMW X5 was fairly trouble free until it hit 50,000 miles and everything seemed to **** the bed. When I complained about it to my independent German car mechanic, he said "whatver you do, Don't buy an Audi."

Porche poop don't stink!
Its true though, especially around here where I live. The most unfriendly, nose up in the air people we come across...Apparently if you can afford a Porsche here in LA and southward you "made it" and your better than all the peasants...
I catch them peepin the vette though. I got a bunch of freedom coming from it. Loud, obnoxious, American flag decals everywhere.
I'm not a sophisticated refined type of man... so I don't ever understand Porsche people.
I drink 6 packs of Coors, I smoke Marlboro reds, I got a blue collar union job, only Porch imma be in is my front one watching my American Flag wave in the wind while I'm pinchin the denim on my girls big round American ***!

Why in the world are Porsche drivers so unfriendly?!? Anyway, I'm done ranting. It really makes you appreciate how cool and friendly the Vette community really is. Just yesterday I was having a 5 minute carside conversation with another forum member in a local parking lot and another Vette drove by, rolled down the window and shared a few pleasantries. I love the looks and quality of 911s, but I'd never trade you guys just to have a Porsche. 
So after 12 years, have you and said Porsche driver made amends?
