Is there an explanation/hypothesis/wild guess as to the cause of this comprehensive drivetrain destruction?
good question, also curious what the symptoms where, although its possible that i missed it (or forgot)

3 incorrect diagnosis and then the actual culprit bIs there an explanation/hypothesis/wild guess as to the cause of this comprehensive drivetrain destruction?
Ah..... Carrera T nice, for some reason I thought you where getting the Cayman T. Damn Porsches all look the same LOL
Maybe I can get a ride in this one?

Got me thinking, maybe a new take on the group drives/meets would be to meet and then do a round robin type ride along for a few miles, then back to the start and swap rides. I realized that I never get to drive in anyone's cars but my own most times. (I did get a ride in Manny's Tesla and that was pretty nice!)
Not a bad thought. You first. And put some booties on or something...
well at least you are getting a manual, so I hate it a little less.....I mean, im pretty sure you are going to hate it too after a short time....then you can probably sell it...maybe make money off it...by a used GT3 and be happy again.
What's to hate? I loved stealing my dad's 69 Beetle and taking it for joy rides. This thing has got to be even more fun.well at least you are getting a manual, so I hate it a little less.....I mean, im pretty sure you are going to hate it too after a short time....then you can probably sell it...maybe make money off it...by a used GT3 and be happy again.
We passed a weird dealership in my town the other day that had a restored '64 beatle. My wife was interested and looked it up, I think they wanted 29k.What's to hate? I loved stealing my dad's 69 Beetle and taking it for joy rides. This thing has got to be even more fun.
If I was going to buy some restored car from the 60's, the beetle would not be my first choice.We passed a weird dealership in my town the other day that had a restored '64 beatle. My wife was interested and looked it up, I think they wanted 29k.
Is that what those things go for now? I just assumed you can buy a beatle-in-a-kit from JC Whitney for like 5k.

While I think Beetles are silly vehicles and can be fun, the buses should just be on display only. I'll say every generation of buses including the later "modern" ones.I worked at a VW shop, had to drive VW beetles and buses all the time....Which is why I HATE them with a passion. God the amount of times I was stranded on the side of the road in the VW bus we used as our parts pick up vehicle. Slowest vehicles I have ever driven, worst sound, terrifying handling, complete garbage reliability....oh and added bonus...commissioned by one of the most despicable humans who has ever lived. I had more fun driving a forklift.
I've been wondering about the substantial quantity of venom you have for these vehicles. This helps explain it.I worked at a VW shop, had to drive VW beetles and buses all the time....Which is why I HATE them with a passion.

I have driven both....back to back on the same day.....I dont understand any distinction between the two...other than one: your face is the crumble zone....the other one, the person sitting next to you uses your leg as an arm rest. Other than that, they both drove exactly the same to me. Same shitty drivetrain and inability to move out of their own way lolWhile I think Beetles are silly vehicles and can be fun, the buses should just be on display only.

ya, really until you spend time every day working/driving a particular vehicle....its hard to develop such a hatred...See @Glenn Rides After 4 PM CST 's opinion about Audi'sI've been wondering about the substantial quantity of venom you have for these vehicles. This helps explain it.
