Apparently DNA does determine character

So I was driving to work in my p-car today. Stopped at a light behind a CayenneS. Thinking of my upcoming highway entrance ramp to I-290. It is one of my fave entrance ramps because it is basically a chicane with three apexes. Of course, I usually get caught behind some weenie who rides the brakes. But every now and then I get to play. Anyway, as the light turns green, the CayenneS swerves gently to the left. Perfect. He/she is changing lanes. I'll have a clear shot to the first turn in the chicane. Then WHAM! The CayenneS swerves hard back to the right to nail the first apex on my highway entrance ramp and roars off for the second. I'm caught completely flat footed and so I have no chance to give chase. Then the CayenneS clips the next two apex's and flys out onto the highway. No brake slights in sight.

I was never close enough to give the thumbs up. But if that CayenneS driver is reading post, then I say rock on.

" Apparently DNA does determine character"

Couldn't agree more...



There's a guy around here with a white Cayenne - he's flown up behind me on a twisty road a couple of times and so far I've been able to hold him at bay, but he's getting better.

IIRC, it beats last years Boxster S on the N-ring...

Great anecdote. Unfortunately no one around here has any strong feelings on the Cayenne Turbo S one way or another.
