The key to Porsche happiness: Bachelorhood!
And its not even in the way ya'll might be thinking. So, there I was earlier today, with a Gorgeous day happening in Chicagoville. Reminded me of those days long ago in Seattle during summer when there was not a cloud in sight 
'Course back then I drove a 1988 Dodge Daytona. A wee-bit different driving experience compared to the 996
Anyway, the only good thing about living in the Chicago suburbs is that there are a ton of big company HQs around here. Which means that on weekends, most of the "scenic", nicely paved and curvy roads around these huge complexes are literally empty <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
After all this talk with the 996 not delivering seat of pants feel, I felt like I needed to do connect back with the car. The day was/is perfect, the roads are clear, and barring any encounter with Chicago's finest, it's gonna be most excellent. And it was <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> Maybe its the fact that I have a very lightly optioned C2 but I have no problem throwing the car into slides or rotating the butt out (which I don't do much because I'm still kinda new and learnin' this whole engine in the back thing).
So, there I was on my Porsche high and I come back to find the wife back. She can't concentrate on studying for her test so she has come back to the house <img border="0" alt="[crying]" title="" src="graemlins/crying.gif" /> Now, since I have had my fun can I vacuum the entire house since I haven't done anything today?
After moving at extra-legal speeds for the better part of the hour, I now get the joy of moving at 0.5 mph with a vacuum for the next half hour. <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" />
Ahhhhh, wife, the "Anti-Porsche" And she is proud of that moniker ("Proud to be one. After vacuuming you can help me study <img border="0" alt="[oops]" title="" src="graemlins/oops.gif" /> ").
So, there you have it guys. IF you want that Porsche high to last when you come home, make sure that you are either single (preferable) or that the wife is out shopping/studying/doing something.
PS: If you are by any chance reading this honey, you know that you always come first and the Porsche second <img border="0" alt="[blabla]" title="" src="graemlins/a_smil17.gif" />

Very funny post. Thanks. Yeah, if you want to feel like your car is fast, do house work and THEN drive it. My Dad used to say" bang your head against the wall and when you stop you'll feel better"
