You can learn plenty with them on.

Depend on them for what? Keeping you out of the wall? What’s wrong with that?

As it turns out...  he was not the Stig.  :)

I dunno man. You sound like someone who thinks they know about driving fast but doesn’t really. Or maybe you just learned on cars without nannies and got to develop your skills going slow enough not to need them.

People who drive on race tracks.  :)

Sure, but the other lesson from Top Gear that was completely ignored here is MOAR POWER!!!!

Yeah. I’m trying to put words together to make a generous statement suggesting that anyone can drive any modern car with the nannies on and a bit of respect... but I can’t quite get there.

This is exactly my thoughts as well. Just stabbed the throttle and got the back loose and then had no idea what to do with it.

Damn!! WTF happened??

I think it looks great. From the side, with that big vent up front, it’s actually got a Corvette sort of vibe going on, though I expect that’s less pronounced in person where I expect the car to be obviously smaller.

I don’t even think you need to be a vandal to stymie them. I’ll bet a couple strategically placed traffic cones could put one completely out of commission, and you can just pluck a couple that are already on the side of the road so you don’t even need to steal the cones.

Care to elaborate on that?

It’s $2500 and it runs.  NP to anyone that actually wants this thing.  Nobody looking for a beater should buy it.  Someone looking for something unique should appreciate it at this price.

Motherfu***!!! It looks like they killed my tribe and merged it into something called “Porsche Community” with some other tribe leader.

I don’t understand why we never got those in North America. I expect it’s something to do with some safety standard they can’t meet or something.

I read this article just saying “Yep... yep... uh huh... yep... “

I don’t see the problem. This seems like a great new system.

Have you considered just buying a Corvette?  

That’s an interesting take on the new Supra. Until the final specs and price and what not are revealed we won’t really know where they’re going with it, but it’s seeming more and more likely that you’re right and I have no idea what to think of it.

Wait...   I don’t want to go too far off topic here...  but are ribeye steaks bad for us now??   :(
