that must've been awesome! talked to that guy for five mins once! cool and super helpful dude, and i was just a guy asking questions. plus he has a 996 turbo that pulls wheelies.

lucky ride, and you lived to tell! ha.

The issues I'm opining about (and that I've posted about previously on this forum), are that the 996 Turbo was built to be taken to the track, and that if an owner doesn't take his 996 Turbo to the track he is somehow "wasting" the car, and that the 996 Turbo was "meant to be driven", which typically means that the person offering this "opinion" believes there is some minimum number of miles the car is supposed to be driven/year, or some level of "beating up the car" that is supposed to be done (or both), or the car is similarly considered "wasted". I do not subscribe to either of these opinions. In fact, I completely disagree with them.

It is obvious from what you have posted here and in the past that you have never participated in a HPDE event. And thus have no clue as to what the experience is like or the benefits there of.

There is no difference between indirect insults and child play cartoons except I'm direct.

Hilarious statement, if for no other reason than its representation of your naiveté.

Not nearly as hilarious and explicit as the naiveté you have displayed on HPDE events.

It may direct and it may also be a bit childish. I considered you better than that.
