I think most people here in the forum appreciate Porsche as much for the community the hobby fosters as for the cars themselves. This esprit de corps is reflected in the friendly banter and prodding here on the forums and during weekend get-togethers, drives and rallies. The folks I drive with run the gamut with respect to backgrounds, careers, etc. A handful are fiercely competitive with backgrounds in all matters of bikes and cycling where they have achieved national, if not, worldwide recognition. This competitive nature often translates to “spirited” drives in the hills and occasional track days and a desire to know their cars inside and out. They are simply competitive. And good. Like others on this forum with experience and earned respect, they don’t feel they have to prove themselves to everyone at every opportunity. Saying little can say a lot. Perhaps you should try meeting up with people in a more social setting. Nevertheless, I appreciate that you likely thrive alone in a car with a single seat in an environment in which you are inaudible.
