Snobberwy and wivalwy
Discussion
I have no idea where its come from, but I'm finding myself being really snobbish to other Porsche owners.
You know... the ones with black and white wheel centre crests.
How do they do it? And if the car's second hand, why don't they have them changed. Won't take much and they'll increase their standing in social circles.
Terrible, really terrible.

Ok, maybe I should elaborate a bit more, particlarly as Jeremy, who doesn't even have a Porsche, is busy punching me outside.
When you buy a Porsche, it has wheels.
The centre of these wheels have Porsche crests on.
The default option is for the crests to be black & white, which look rubbish.
For £106 (or some basic bargaining) you can "upgrade" the wheel crests for ones that are coloured in.
They then look like this.
I never noticed before, but since its been brought to my attention, I can't help but think the B&W ones look sooooooo naff. And cheap.
And THAT is snobbery. Which I have accepted

So am I at the bottom of the ladder, given that my 18" Magnesium 3-piece Stroseks have a grey Porsche crest? Not even B&W ...
And you know you're really sad when you start noticing that the coloured crests on the 997/Cayman/987 Boxster are different to those on the 996/986 Boxster.
The old one has a line round it. The new one doesn't. The people I really look down on are those who have fitted the older type to their newer cars to save £100. Skinflints.

I don't even have crests on mine
At last count I had three (black) ones
gues that places me fairly low on the ladder. They might look sh1te but the wheels look worse and the wheel upgrade comes quite a long way down the list after engine, suspension and brake mods and recarpeting.
Unless I can convince myself that the brake upgrade isn't possibel without bigger wheels to fit bigger discs into

Hang on! I'm confused. My Boxster 2.7 (bottom of the range and not even a Porsche according to Badapple
) has coloured crests. Does that make me a pauper or not? Please advise, so I know at what point I must concede in any future argument. Thanks.
