I said to her "jeez, I think you're the most straight-laced, waspy-looking woman I've ever been on a date with, Mitt Romney's wife couldnt be more formal than this if she tried....". She said "why thank you, can't say the same for you"... didn't miss a beat, date went amazing, rest is history.

Well, 3+ years later, and the name stuck. ;-)

Anyway, P1 is a sick machine.. it was interesting for me to see how a first timer has a hard time keeping the pedal down... even at part throttle it just takes your breath away. However, 675LT feels like it can match it for short bursts, and murders it in the twisties with a much lower inertia. I'm sure at high speed track p1 wins, but.. these hybrids need to get lighter before they become truly amazing in my opinion.
