I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to comment further unless I am providing valuable technical advice.

Perhaps I'll log in with one of my other accounts and say something nice.

Wow really? I've never seen Indian Porsche driver here in IL. They all drive Camry's and Accords. Maybe you're confusing them with Middle Eastern Porsche drivers? I see quite a few Dubai, Qatar, Saudi, etc but unless they're students, they usually drive the 997's and above.

I see and know quite a few Polski's that drive Eurocars but not a white Cayman. Wonder if it was autotragic, then maybe it's a regular white chick with a sugar daddy driving it.

Ya gotta hit something.
If you are sliding sideways and hit something low by the wheels, it can roll.

Yeah, the formula is pretty simple -- go from a low traction surface to a high traction surface while carrying excess lateral speed. Really high traction surfaces include solid low objects like curbs and mud/soft dirt or sand. I may or may not have some experience in this arena.

Oh, yes. I remember now. Well, at least you have a lot more track time than I do so...
