Respect


Yesterday I got to drive my friends Porsche 911, in my eyes this was a really great gesture from him. It's the last one of the kind that will kill you, if you don't know what you're doing. I really didn't want to test the limits or even get close to them, especially since I'm far from being that good behind the wheels of a sportscar.
I was probably closer to getting a parking ticket in the roundabout, than flipping the car. Being a bit nervous, I took a roundabout at a slower speed than I do with my Camry when racing, and said wow, this car handles well. Then when I saw the speedometer, looked at my friend, and just laughed. He must have thought I'm a retard. I felt retarded actually. :D But a car like this needs some getting used to, and I didn't have time for that.

However, it was a real thrill, but also a surprise. It was easier to drive than a Volvo V70, and quiet at normal revs. But when you open the throttle... ahhh, actually had hearing problems after the testdrive. :)

I'm happy that he can afford a car like that, he sure deserves it. Thanks for the testspin, Bad boy. Hope the car givs you much pleasure!
