I don't think the Porcupine is driving by himself. I think there's someone sitting behind him with a camera and to work the pedals.

I cannot figure out which I find more appalling. The blatant disregard for pedestrian lives or calling a hedgehog a porcupine. #alllivesmatter

When approaching a corner, do you use the first cup holder, or the second cup holder?

I get the whole safe pedestrian thing, but I bought the N/A version Porsche over the turbo so I could have more fun around the speed limits... which I do..


And yes I get my *** end out almost everytime my Porsche leaves my garage. Granted my office is in an industrial park and I have county roads in every which direction as well... its not like I do it on my cities main corridors or in neighborhoods.


and always 2nd gear

I'll admit that I wrestled with that myself. Then I found this...

I actually prefer slick tires as it is hard to get the spandex out of the heavily treaded ones.

Yes, I will do autocross, because your point above really is the topic of this thread, how to safely sustain momentum through turns, ie. above 25 mph (I think it is), because under that is lugging in my car.

And I will continue to use other resources (like here) to learn, because lecture then lab.

How does one go about driving like a porcupine? Input appreciated.

Also, do hedgehogs drive like porcupines, and is there any meaningful distinction between the two?
