I live in a neighborhood that is full of brand new M3's, Corvettes, Z4's and Mercedes AMG's as well as the usual assortment of suped up Honda's, Acura's, Mitsubishi Lancer's and Subarus, and they all slow down and stare when they pass my driveway..

Gotta love that!

I think I love the brand recognition the most, some try to take a stab at me on the highway, and I usually laugh and stick to my cruise control setting... But everyone can look and say "Man That is a car I always wanted, but never had" I have let a few cools guys have a drive, if they really wanted one, no better way to get them really interested than to put them into the drivers seat...

I love my P-Cars, I think more than my boat and all previous cars put together..

I've been driving my 92 968 for the past few months as a DD (and loving it) while the S2 was sitting all cleaned and ready to sell. I decided to take the S2 for a drive last night and to work today. Just turning the key makes me smile. Its so different from the 968. I'd forgotten how much fun it is. It just feels right. Damn I love these cars!

After 6 years with the S2 I thought I had outgrown it hence the 968, but it still grabs me and owns me.

I'm 19 and have a 280hp wrx, every teenagers dream car. I still miss my 944S, it was so much more fun to drive. It wasn't a rocket ship like my wrx is though

My fav thing is to have someone on my *** trying to keep up, then brake really late in a corner and watch the guy behind back way off after his car breaks free on the turn.

I too, have a pet habit. Some corners I know I can go faster than most cars, so if I get a tail gater at these corners, I speed up instead of breaking. By the time they exit the corner, I'm far away.

but do you ever slow down just to **** them off a little more and then speed up as you go into the turn?

oh yeah

I hate people that tailgate you, even worse - they pass you and then drive @ the speed limit
