Default First PCA DE Feedback

For those who told me to quit worrying about my wheel color, sticker placement, etc... And get out on the track...

For those who asked; what if you don't like the track....

Attached is a photo of my first log-book entry from my instructor of my first PCA driver ed event. (2nd event overall)

Also... Traded in my Hybrid Cayenne and bought an S with the tow package.

And........Bought my Trailex CT-8045 on Monday...

And to those who said don't keep track of how much I spend on this crazy hobby.... I don't think about it!

Can't wait to get back out on the track!

Winning? Champion? Not sure I follow....

Are you being sarcastic? Sorry if I'm off base.

Edit- on second thought... It looks like you are in NY, I'd love the opportunity to meet you in person so you can tell me how you feel straight to my face.

Either way, really appreciate your kindness and fellow enthusiast support. Really awesome of you. (Yep, that last sentence was full of sarcasm).

Nice job you're sliding down the deep end about as fast as I did a few years ago. It only gets more fun!

Wtf?

Quite possibly the worst comment I've ever read on RL.

Phil is stoked about making quick progress at the track and wants to share with fellow enthusiasts. And if you meet him in person he's an awesome guy and full of enthusiasm. An awesome driver as well. I instructed him his first time out and he has that natural ability to understand the car and where it's going. I was never uneasy with him and by the end of the first session he had already figured out some things that takes many people several track days to figure out.

I agree with Hugh... It's great to see a guy get into this the right way and never get ahead of himself.

Rock on Phil!

Phil:
1. Welcome to the slippery slope surrounding DE's. They're worse than crack addictive fun.
2. Be safe and have fun.
3. Get plenty of seat time, gather knowledge from other instructors.
4. Get to other tracks to see how they feel.
Just a few things as I got more and more seat time. Enjoy and have fun lots of fun.

Thanks all! REALLY appreciate you having my 'back'. I'm just shocked how other enthusiasts can be so mean-spirited. What did I do to that guy??
As some of you know, I am likely one of the kindest people anyone will meet. But to the 'haters'....as my father always told me, "don't mistake kindness for weakness".
No matter... I AM HAVING SO MUCH FUN!!
