No, he's got a point...destroy the tires faster by letting others use 'em. Of course, two sets of tires for any Porsche should be mandatory, with two sets of cool rims!

Why does it sound like your wearing chain mail in the vids? Kind of a jangling sound every time you turn hard.

I don't think that was the best place to have an autoX.... Bah to a dragstrip... A very large parking lot (like welcome stadium) would be much better suited for such events...

Brian,

Was that clunking your head (helmet?) hitting the camera or camera mount?

You have mad armour-all on the dash!!! What product do you use on the dash?

Oh yeah, he was hitting the camera with his head. You can even see part of the helmet come into view. How was the camera mounted anyway?

My 968 is not my daily, it is my racer now and my Prelude is now my daily. I was wondering if I made a good decision on that as I passed several 968's at Putnum Park recently, but then I got to see the instructors in their 968's lapping everyone on the track and then come down on me when they were in my session in the rain....they are so fast and I am not one bit concerned about being slow at all. It will be my autox and DE (possibly club car in the future) speeder.
