Manuals, Beth? Way to go. Let's see... couple weeks to study, couple weeks to digest it, couple weeks before your beast KNOWS you have manuals and will fail... requiring said manuals. Honest. And, whatever you do, don't get more than one. They may be all the things described in the plaque... but they've also got this sympathetic failure mode they go into as well.

Well, kinda was considering one of these for a gift until I read..." at 160mph chatting with my child in the back seat." Shame on this Heinrich Smit moron. Drive fast, enjoy yourself, but leave the kids at home if you are gonna do that. I think would shoot the person who drove 160 mph with my kid in the car, no wait, I am SURE I would.

Hmmm... If Dads were regularly shot for going 160 mph with their kids in the car, then there would be a helluva lot of widows in Germany's prisons.

These cars are built to go fast - you can't imagein how stable they are at high speed, until you have experienced it. It's like going on rails.

I'm not advocating to race or break the law - just saying that the 928 handles speed very well. The question is, if the driver does, too!

TheOtherWoman, fists let me say thank you so much for calling me a moron, and using my full name doing it. You sound like a nice person. God bless you.

Second, as Nicole rightly points out, just because in your narrowminded view others should not have the right to live their lives as they please, does not mean that people don't live differently from your views, everyday, everywhere, except in your own mind.

Third, my expressions as posted on this plaque were not to say I am asking or recommending that anyone take their children on 160mph speeding sprees. If you understood the monologue at all, you'd realise that it is an expression of my deepest love for the Porsche 928, and my deep desire to share that love with my child, and others close to me.

For the record, I have never done 160 with a child in the car, but I do not view that as any kind of terrible thing, because I understand the Porsche 928 and how incredibly everyday it is to drive at high speeds in a 928.

Lastly, it is people like you that take all the spice out of life. You are the kind of "moron" (your word) who will pour cooking coffee into your lap and then expect to sue the coffee maker because you had not realised that the coffee was hot.

You should buy a bicycle.

A horse, buggy, big hat. Yeah that's the ticket <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" />

It always facinates me how some people can find negatives in just about anything. <img border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" title="" src="graemlins/cussing.gif" />
It's a gift really <img border="0" alt="[nono]" title="" src="graemlins/nono.gif" />

Don't worry Heinrich, most of us do get it <img border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" title="" src="graemlins/bigok.gif" />

Your heart is in the right place, but you should avoid running for public office.......

This is why her and the kids take a different ride from a to b. Last summer vacation we went to Idaho to see the grandparents. She and the kids flew over a day after I drove the Porsche. She got there in an hour and a half, and I got to have a most pleasant drive with out the kids or any of the "your going too fast" statements from passengers. Just need to get her in the car at a track and turn her loose. I believe that would change her view.

You know what Heinrich, you are probably a good driver, perhaps even great, as is my other half who loves to drive fast and worships his Porsches and I don't doubt his capabilities, it is the other 50 million idiot drivers on the road that have always made me nervous. The scary part is, unfortunately they all too often hold your fate in their hands. I suppose I should say that my point was, no matter what a fine piece of engineering you are driving there is always someone just around the corner waiting to eff it up and driving 160 with a kid in the car is just well, irresponsible with those kind of variables.
The best way to sum this up and not look like some kind of "fun wrecker" is to tell you what I told him...."drive fast, live large and by all means enjoy your car, just leave me and the kids out of it and get us a HUGE life insurance policy to fall back on, cause the odds suck"
