Default Zen and the art of Porsche driving

After driving beastly American V-8 trucks and Japanese rolling video game cupholders all my life I been enlightened after purchasing my first 964. For other newbies out there; leave the radio OFF, place your hands gently at 10 and 2 o'clock, use the tachometer rather than the speedometer, no food no coffee, and feel what it REALLY means to drive. Let the road come to you, attack the apex of all corners, and life will improve. They say you never see a Harley parked in front of a Therapist's office; gentlemen, I say throw away your Prozac, your Viagra, and cancel your appointment at the Hair Club For Men...DRIVE your 964!

Mine's an even greater joy to drive since getting the KW suspension fitted. The grip and go from the apex is awesome

A few more days or weeks before I can have the car back on the road...oh the anticipation is increasing by the minute.

When you turn the key....everything disappears and all you look forward to about to begin.
