I drove a Porsche today

I have a buddy who drive a Lamborghini and it is unbelievably quick. I drove it once but didn't want to open it up wide in case it got away from me. I have also ridden in a 1970 Shelby that is bad ass. That one is sweet.

Only problem for me with the Shelby is it doesn't seem to handle well and it is squirrelly in the rear end. Other than that it is awesome. It is pure muscle.

I knew you were going to reply about that comment, I forgot there was a woman posting in here too. Well, it's true though, that's what people that have autos say "I got it so my wife could drive it."

Well I've never even seen one in person, let alone drive one, but they seem awesome.

Scion...how lame.

But IDK how much I'd trust fixing a car with tape. 😛

That was then, this is now.

As for a Scion, I drove one before buying my Pontiac. It was a 4 cyl automatic and it took me near 5 minutes to get out of the parking lot. My wife and I both knew when we got in the car we didn't want it, and we were right.

Yea, but you would put wings on it and fly it.

Women only need two tools, Duct tape and Wd-40. If it wiggles use the Duct tape if it don't Use the WD- 40.

I would take a manual over an automatic any day of the week, unfortunately they don't make a manual Chevy Tahoe. 😕

Edit: OK, since you mentioned it Cash, I would take a Cessna 206 over a Porche! 😛

Ha ha very funny.

I owned a Cessna 172 once but had to give it up. They found out I was color blind.

That's too bad, flying is loads of fun!

It seems like you would still be OK to fly in the daytime.

The 172s are nice to fly, very stable and easy to maneuver.

Yea and pretty cheep to fly and maintain. But what I was using it for I needed to fly at night. It didn't seem to bother me any, but they got steamed about it when they found out and grounded me on night flight so I just sold out and did something else. But you are right it is a lot of fun. I still go up sometimes.

I can see how flying at night would be an issue.
Were you able to differentiate any of the positional lights?
That could actually be dangerous in certain situations.

Remember the old saying: There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots.

Were you flying to Ecuador and back with a little stash?

If you weren't, you missed the opportunity to buy a Porsche......

But that's not really the news...the news is that it was an automatic. What the hell? An auto on a porsche? (Not the Cayenne, one of the cars) Why would you buy a porsche and throw an automatic transmission on it?

When I was in High School, I took my Dad's Porsche out for a spin one weekend when they were away on a trip. Danced around the house in my underwear for a bit, had a bunch of prostitutes over for a big party. Got into Princeton.

Crazy weekend, man.
