Well yeah.  That’s how it works now.  My suggestion was based on the idea of a minimum salary being instituted by a drivers association of some sort.  I’m making the case for how it’s easily handled by pay drivers.

That’s a fair take. I didn’t really mean to imply that a union was a bad thing though. Just that it doesn’t seem to apply in the traditional sense.

I don’t think “union” is quite the right word for what they want. At least not in the sense most people think of it. Think of it as a “drivers association” the way other sports have a players association. A group with authority to look out for the drivers’ interests.

I can’t come up with a good argument for this. You’re spot on. Somewhere between “You pay to drive” and “You get paid to drive” is “You drive for free”.

BAHAHAHA!!

Nothing sounds as good as the 981 GTS.  Nothing.  :)

LOL.  The Cayman is effectively the exact same size of a new 911.  About 1" off in each direction from a 1970's 911?  It’s less than 1" off in every direction except length from a new 911 and the length is just due to the overhangs.  It has a LONGER wheelbase than a new 911.

Worth noting that the Cayman is more expensive.  :)

I laugh when I read this sort of thing. It’s funny how people imagine a reality so much different than the one we live in.

Maybe, for people with an inferiority complex.

I’ll concede that the base models were terrible at any time.

That is AMAZING!! :) I had to image search it to have any idea what it is. I’ve never even heard of Zoids before.

My Boxster was way more practical than my 911 is. The trunk in the Cayman isn’t quite as wide, but I’d imagine it’s still much easier to get stuff into than the weird carpeted void behind the non-folding seats I’ve got now.

Aww. I’ve got a fondness for j-bodies. Up until the 3rd generation they really weren’t bad at all. And the 3rd gen was perfectly respectable when it was introduced. It’s just that they should have replaced it after 5 years or so instead of 10.

There’s traffic on a race track.

You’re a beginner and have no use for auto-rev-matching.

LOL!!  With a manual, your engine just goes BOOM.  :)

LOL! You’re arguing the merits of rev-matching but don’t know what heel-toe is??

On mine, it’s off by default. I normally leave it that way on the street, but usually turn it on when I go out on the track. I’ve done sessions with it off while working on improving my heel-toe. I’ve turned it on for the street when I’m just hooning around and love the noise it makes.

It’s a thing that definitely happens. Dale Jr. did it in a race. AJ Allmendinger did it in a race this year.  Those guys know how to drive.  Mistakes happen.
