I don't really need knobby tires, I'm a street guy, don't like my pants getting muddy...

If I rode my bike more it would have street tires... And you realize that 40ponies on a bike is like 300 in a car? I bet that thing is mad fun.

It is fun, handles like a dream.
40 ponies could be enough to drive around town here, which I would be doing mostly.
911 has right of way tho, I need the space in my garage...

911's should always have the right of way... You hear that you damn hog riders!!! Pull the fuch over! I wanted to pass, as did a lot of us. I move to the left when you want to pass. Even got the biker to biker salute for moving over - but this was a different guy.

Carpé itsa Monday.

The GTS took me to skool at the autocross yesterdee. I move the seat back to cinch up my seat belt then move it forward to hold the belt tight against the cam lock, poor man's 3 point harness style. Somehow the seat moving did something to the inertial controller box under the driver's seat which turned off my Speedometer, ABS, and most importantly the electronic rear differential locking. I am claiming 6 seconds a lap not having limited slip cause you just can't accelerate with V8 torque and only one drive wheel.

Good morning guys.

It was a fun autocross, except the parts of the track where it was so tight you need to downshift to first gear. 25 year old 911s with a 915 transmission just don't like that. Or maybe I should say the owners of 911s with 915 transmissions don’t like it. I am not going to destroy my transmission trying.

G-Man get that 911 on the road! Every day of not driving a 911 is a day lost forever!

Morning (evening) men.

Some ass-hat truck-driver thought he could push me over to the next lane yesterday.
He couldn't, bumped into my car, and drove away.... This was in a fuhkkin' traffic jam...
Followed him, took a pic of his license plate. Pulled up next to him and told him to park it so we could fill in the paperwork. He wouldn't. Told him I'd call the cops if he didn't. He said call them...
Since it's a company car, I notified work and they started the paperwork, called the cops and stuff.
Now it is time to pay up Mr Ass wipe Trucker, or face charges and risk a criminal record. (fleeing the scene of an accident is a criminal offense and will give you a criminal record if found guilty)
For what? He hit me behind the drivers door and made some small dents above the right rear wheel. I f he would have waited 2 seconds, I would have been 6 feet further and he could have come into my lane. The person that was behind me had already stopped and was more than a truck's length behind...
He thought he could make me stop and force his way into my lane. You should have stopped, stupid. Now you are at fault and you'll pay.

(In the heat of the moment I did forget to note down the license plate of the witness behind me,... but the damage on my car is enough to show that I was not at fault, luckily)

I got in a NASCAR style side swipe in the Toyota on the freeway a few years ago. Fender crushed. I pulled it out. I didn't have to call my company. I am the company.

A few seconds of 0G. Going to do it again with a better camera and at a higher altitude, so we can hold it longer.

Yesterday it was Nascar is very slow motion... it happened at walking speeds...
He deliberately hit me, thought he would teach me a lesson... It didn't work out that way...
