I start in a week. Driving a porsche doesn't really help the social aspect with women. Then again, I didn't park in the school lot, so not a lot of people saw my car.

Well, I'm a Junior. For football two-a-days start soon, so that will suck. 8-11 then 2-5. I'm kinda looking forward to school. I don't think I will have any overly-difficult classes. Hopefully metals so I can make a better J pipe. That would be awesome.

I drove my 951 when I was in my senior year of high school. Rumors suggested that I was a drug dealer (ok I was a pothead heh). Car got searched 3x a week by the school cop. Wasn't a great experience. My yearbook quote didn't help either...

"If crime doesn't pay, why do I drive a Porsche?"

I was just trying to be funny hehe .

I was a junior and a senior with my Porsche. Then a freshman in college with it.

Now I'm a sophmore with an Audi

I hope to be a junior with a Porsche again next year though

Ah yes...being the only kid driving the Porsche in my BMW, Lexus and Mecedes filled parking lot was quiet fun. Everyone believed it was the fastest damn car on the planet. I let them believe whatever they wanted "Yea its pretty quick". Little did they know it was pretty quick compared to a friggin 18-wheeler!

I did one stupid thing, which could have turned bad but ended up being one of those things i was known for among the kids i wasnt friends with. I pulled in one morning with a buddy of mine, light layer of snow on the ground. The night before i was out sledding at the park with my friends, i had gotten pretty good had spinning the rear end out and getting it to stop pretty perfectly in parking spots. So being the idiot i was (hey i was a bit cocky) we were passing a ton of kids walking through the parking lot to the school. It was pretty crowded, and naturally with everyone looking at my car as i pulled in i decided to put on a little show. I just floored it, cut the wheel and the back came around. Amazingly i managed to not hit the curb and just slid the car gracefully into a parking spot. Sure i parked 4-5 parking spots away from the nearest car. But it was the coolest damn thing ever...and everyone basically had the same reaction... "HOLY **** THAT WAS AWSOME!". I just got out of the car playing it Bogart, like ive done it a 100 times before .

To all the lower classman, the first thing they asked me was 'Hey your the kid with the Porsche right?". Me.... "Yea" . "That cars awsome. Its really fast right?". Me... "Yea its pretty fast."
