My hands tremble after a drive
I'm generally a cool-headed and relaxed kind of guy. After I drive this car though, I get out and try to put the key in the lock and I have trouble steadying my hand. That's how it makes me feel.
Is it the sound? Is it the bobbing of the hood as it goes over bumps? Is it the immediate reaction to my every action? Is it the fear that it might all of a sudden produce an altogether new problem? (which will prompt me to start another thread on here of course ).I ****ing love this car.... best money, effort and time I've ever spent on anything.

I'm in Bucharest. Been here for the past 4 years. And yeah, you're right about the people and the roads

The 959 does that to me too. Come to think of it, the RS clone does it more...

If your hands EVER stop trembling, the knees STOP knocking, the palms stop sweating........thats when you need to start to get worried.........
sounds like you're having fun, play hard with the toys.

I don't know if there is cure for this condition that he has and I think the only means are the help of a support group, one that perhaps resides on the internet and has a bird as its mascot.

Funny you mentions this, we just got back from a 600 mile trip, parts of it were on twisty country roads. I feel that way after a lively drive in my car... My wife trembles too, but for different reasons, she's a great sport to share the fun I have of driving my car without showing terminal fear.
