This type of communication goes on behind the main boards back so to speak and can degenerate into a popularity contest or worse. You of all people should get this.

Most trolls refuse to become paid Rennlist Members and would rather pop in here whenever they please with no investment or commitment. Obviously they can't access the OT Forum.

At the risk of apprearing really dumb (in fact I'm only kinda dumb), I guess I'm too new a member to understand this issue. What exactly is a troll?
I belong to a neurological illness forum and we have problems with people pretending to have serious medical problems to stir things up (but it quickly becomes clear that they are nut-jobs and should be on a psychiatric forum).
Is this a similar thing where people who do not own P-cars (or are on the verge of buying) instigate conflicts? Or is it rather highly opinionated/abrasive Porsche owners? Please advise.

You know, the interesting thing about this car is that it's what I call Sneaky Fast. I mean, with the suspension set soft and the exhaust on quiet, it's hard to feel how fast you're going, sometimes I'll guess I'm going 70-75 and look down to see I'm up near or in triples.
It also shows up in acceleration the same way, I think I'm just moving out smoothly and I notice everyone in traffic is way behind very quickly.
I like that, but I'm afraid it will land me in trouble one day...
