Post What FOOD do you like to eat before you drive your Porsche?

I like to eat a bagel in the morning.

Question

What next? What kind of after shave do you use when you drive? "I prefer Aqua Velva"!
and "NO! Old Spice is the best!"

From my boat-owning days, I've learned to eat, while driving, extra crispy fried chicken, and brownies for desert. The resultant "crumbs" do wonders for the interior.

Hmm, an interesting point, and I'm glad someone finally bought it up.
Generally I like to keep the food intake light before a fast run to reduce weight. Believe it or not, this can be felt in the form of superior handling.
Depending on the duration and type of road, I alter my intake accordingly: Long straights = bulk complex carbohydrates for sustained energy and concentration. Several freshly baked potatoes will suffice, and they fit well in the 911's glove copartment.
For windy roads I up the protein intake to approx 120% RDI (reccommended daily intake)for fast release energy that is easily asorbed into the body's musculature. If I see an interesting set of curves on the horizon, I often gobble 3 small red chillis for an extra kick just before I negotiate them. As no water whatsoever is allowed in the car I generally pull to a gas station for liquid refreshment (usually Red Bull or an isotonic thirst quencher). Hope this has been of some help.

Is anybody monitoring this crap? I fear the really helpful members are going to lose interest. Admittedly, I have fallen into the BS trap a few times. Should not even be responding now.

ZE911, you are not really familiar with the word "sarcasm," are you?

I usually drive on an empty stomic. I chew up VTechs, Mustangs, Camero's etc if I get hungry.
