Only tghing wrong w/the article, that I could tell, it wasn't a 911,
but a 966 Cabriolet

So what? I can drag up more than 10 times the number of the same kind
of of "accidents" that are caused by Honda drivers. With big"fart can
mufflers". Idiots are everywhere.

What do you think she hit while passing?

Why do you think I used Honda as an example? I read the article.
Idiot drivers do not drive one kind of car... they are spread among
everything. However, because a majority of Porsche drivers are
enthusiasts, a far greater percentage of them are better drivers than
your typical Honda driver. Exceptions do exist.

One of the things I like about a Porsche is that you *can* drive it sensibly
and safely and still enjoy it's performance and handling. I very rarely
drive faster than that of the overall traffic flow.

Exactly. After getting out of mine, everything else feels "numb".
The feedback through the steering wheel is amazing; the brakes are
unbelievable.

The local PCA club is a bunch of really nice people, and they do an
excellent job of running driver education events at a coupe of local
tracks. If you've never had yours on the track you owe it to yourself
to give it a try. You can't explore the car's potential on the
street... the track is the only place to do it responsibly.

I've heard a lot of good things about the PCA club. One of these days I'll
check into it.

I'm sure you can, but it takes considerable concentration and restraint.
Personally, I rarely get into trouble on the interstate, but 35 in 25s,
that's another story. Does a Porsche drive that slow? Also, I would
think you attract less police attention in the family SUV than in a
Porsche, especially if it's an Arrest-Me-Red Porsche. ;-)

I've only gotten one ticket in the Porsche, but I deserved it. It
does just begged to be flogged, and it's tough to hold back. It also
gets an extra share of "attention" from the police, but if you're
doing nothing wrong, they don't penalize you for it. Mine's blue, so
it's a little bit under-cover. Red is asking for it, no matter what
you drive.
