Interesting comment snipe. It's funny, my wife has told me many times that I was at much greater risk driving my Carrera than I ever was on a bike. I'm a very conservative rider. Full gear (head to toe), won't ride if I've had any alcohol the entire day or if I'm tired. Never ride in the city if I can avoid it and always for recreation. In the P-car, I was nowhere near as cautious and drove very aggressively. Gotta wonder if others would be the same (like you, perhaps).

This is an interesting point. I drive quite quickly and aggressively everyday whether I am in the 525 or 924. However, on the rare occasions that I am allowed to drive the M3, my average speed drops considerably (to maybe 1-2mph over the limit) and I drive much less aggressively with the exception of a couple of quick blasts over the limit on an empty stretch of road. I am not sure if it has more to do with being respectful of the car's performance or fearful of my dad's wrath should I get a ticket or damage his car in any way.

I think the verbage of a fluffer is 'fluffing' not 'fluffering'.


Let's get our homoerotic talk straight here people.
