I took my 1974 Porsche 914 (~95 hp) to a PCA HPDC... that’s a High Performance Driving Clinic. Basically a first-timer’s introduction to sports car control in a safe track environment. A few douchenozzles showed up because, for them, they figured it was a cheap track day. One in particular, in a blue Cayman S, passed…
No way I could be the first to post the obvious answer.
Also, can’t believe I could be the first to mention it, but:
My wife’s DD is the current-generation Quest, and/or the box it came in. Honestly, it’s about as practical as all the others, but drives like it doesn’t know it’s a minivan.
Personal experience with this, albeit a bit dated:
Washington, DC has a district-wide speed limit of “25 unless otherwise posted”. Since most of DC is urban, and there are stretches such as DC-295 with highway-appropriate speed limits (e.g. 50mph), this doesn’t seem so bad, except... DC also has the most speed cameras per capita of any jurisdiction on earth.
I feel exactly the same way about my Porsche 914. I bring it to Cars & Coffee and look around at cars that cost 10-100x as much, and I still feel like none of those suit my personality as well, and for mostly the same reasons. Manual everything. Simple. All about the relationship between driver, car, and road.
I like how all the Ford concept cars have number identifiers. Makes it look like a mugshot. (The charge would obviously have been Public Indecency.)
As a grown man, I still dream of driving a McLaren F1. Did the 650S satisfy your lifelong need to drive a McLaren supercar, or would you say it made you want to drive the F1 (and/or P1) even more?
This is going to result in somebody being dead within the first ten events.
Once completed my throttle cable linkage with two zip ties. God Bless zip ties.
