Ofcourse you know that the impression you leave to the audience is much greater when you go fast without burning rubber...
Side benefit: its nicer for the environment (consumption of raw material)and the machine will last longer..

Since I like to haul ***, drift and burn the tires ever so often does this make me a bad Porsche owner?

Uh...Adrian, great words I agree but what you wrote I have seen almost word-for-word on the NSX Prime discussion board as the Code of Conduct for owners of any "exotic" car. Your version is edited to address Porsche ownership but it differs almost not at all from the other one.

Drifting videos... any other requests?
Mike is still trying to convince me to make one of "those" videos. The part I can't get used to is Mike screaming past me around the corener at 100mph only 6" away from the lense.
Awww, who cares. When, should I say if, it dries up, we will become MPEG engineers.

Seemed like you were taking credit as the author to me. Regardless, the sentiment is right.

"My" Personal Code of Conduct as a Porsche Owner
I will smile every time I open the garage and the light pours into the darkness to highlight it's gorgeous body styling and curves. (She can't stay upstairs all the time, I have to make the bed once and a while
I will look back at it at least two times when ever I get out, And grin every time I get back in.
I will realize how wonderful my car is every time I accelerate, decelerate, shift, or turn. Especially on "S" shaped roads.
I will laugh when someone tries to race me and suggest they meet me at the track. (Not that I've ever been to the track, but perhaps they'll catch the sentiment and stop being/looking so stupid.)
I will occasionally not be able to resist, and become one of the fore mentioned Stupid people, but I will be within the confines of safety when I do so.
I will always attempt to make myself and my Porsche better, not settling with idleness and stagnancy.
Have Fun Everybody
