Go to a track if you want to drive like that.

Well put.....
I was out on the first stage in the wife's new (to her...) '83 930 (she was navigator
) and I remember her remarking to me that there seemed to be a lot of testostorone rolling that really should be at the track.
We had fun, but I just knew...as in past years...there would be some sort of mishap, so we made the decision to just do the 1st phase of the tour...knowing that when the street racers get warmed up in the 2nd part of the run it'll be even more dangerous....as proved to be the case.
Situations like this can pop up instantly in any spirited driving on public roads, especially if your only performance driving credential is your driver's licence from a DMV test, and one really isn't familiar with understeer or oversteer and how your cars suspension is (or isn't) dialed in for it.
We drove at a pace where the wife & I enjoyed the scenery and were able to chuckle at some of the manuvers we saw.....
I'll go to Big Willow when I feel a real need for speed....
