My vise father would have said, “You’ve made a mistake. You should have ANTICIPATED. Positioned your car that you could escaped the disaster. Different lane, more space in front of you to manover, whatever it took to avoid it. You should have done EVERYTHING POSSIBLE not to be a victim.”

CORRECT, on both the street as well the track, actually. Properly trained instructors to teach you under controlled environment, do not count. They need to be there teaching you how to do it properly, of course.

By yourself, ABSOLUTELY! With a passenger in your car, NEVER EVER! Think about it...

GREAT approach in a proper upbringing. I am proud of you dear Sir!

and, as I’ve said already, HIS PARENTS, not teaching the kid properly, INCLUDED...

Idiotic PARENTS, not teaching their offspring properly, most certainly INCLUDED...

Not if that car has been properly taken care of, of course...

Oh, forgot to add - NOT a scratch on that door mirror either, despite just millimeters separating it from the guard rail.

6, perhaps, if you count the man next to us, before the BMW arrived . . . 😉

Count me in! 😉

Also, as a driver, my vise father told me, “YOU are ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE for YOUR PASSENGERS. No matter how good driver you are, NEVER EVER drive 100% of what you are capable, even on a race track. ALWAYS leave yourself a bit of a margin for an error...”

You can still learn more even now, or especially now since you have miles under your belt. Learn especially about moving vehicle dynamics as understanding what the car can and can not do given various circumstances can still save your life, if confronted with it. My humble recommendation - enroll in a performance…

Remember the RS6 Avant accident as if ti happened yesterday - MOST UNBELIEVABLY, the second guy from left is the driver!!!

There is just NO SUBSTITUTE to learning to drive a car PROPERLY, period.

The MAGIC of driving PORSCHE cars, indeed.

With that mileage, synchros, most likely, 2-3 gears being used so often. If you plan to keep the car, it’ll be a good idea to rebuild the gearbox. And, if you always wished it had a bit different ratios, perhaps also a limited slip dif, that’ll be the time to do it as well.

This one started as an old Targa . . . Stripped it, had those fenders and hood re-done. Fenders to accept later model Bi-Xenon lights and the hood, take out the fresh air channel, since enough fresh air already. Modified Ruf’s front valence to accept the stainless, laser-cut grill for the front oil cooler. Spent some…

‘76 912 a real Porsche, albeit 914 4-cylinder engined, is till a wonderful car for commtes and / or just as a pleasure driver IMHO. Especially for those that do not care for the 6-cylinder powerplant. However, if more grunt is desired, there are worthwhile upgrade kits for the VW-sourced 914 4-cylinder. The ultimate…

Both very capable cars - the ‘72 would require some skill to drive it properly. The 991 virtually anyone can drive. Both very rewarding but in different ways...

Cars are for driving, not crashing. But, if you do crunch a Porsche road car, ANY Porsche road going car, you can be sure it’s build very well and it will protect you like no other car of that era. Saw an early 911 many a year ago, the driver hitting a utility pole head on, perfectly straight in the middle, as he…
