oh, one thing i do notice about Porsche drivers is that there is a rather large asian following. I'm quite curious to this, as it seems like the asian following is unproprtionalty larger then any other minority group. is it just that asian people just work harder, do well in school etc, therefore more likely to afford these cars?

I think it's hilarious that some folks here are willing to spend $$ to shave a few ounces off the car, gain a few HP more, or create a slightly more agile suspension, when a diet would have achieved the same end goal!

Btw, I'm 6'1" (when I actually stand up straight!) and 195 lbs (as of this morning anyway).

Ok....i'm a 5'7 135 lb. scrawny Asian. I'm 26 (going on 27) and am probably not on the same income level as most of you here yet. Hopefully, one day I will get there...sooner than later. However, I somehow find a picture of this doofy looking guy next to my car....and Asians have great taste.

Rich,

On the average, 2-3 a week.

When you stop by, we'll see how many we can wolf down, okay?

Randy,

Eyal is not remotely close to being of Asian descent. He is also not an arrogant kid so I doubt he has any kind of chip on his shoulder. I believe his question was an inquisitive one asked by a young adult. On many of our drives here in SoCal, they are routinely attended by many Asians.
