You mean focus on the road, instead of focus on phone/PDA/iPod/stereo/etc.?

Unfortunately in our most traveled roads driving is optional for many drivers.

Precsiely the type of maneuver that would have flipped another high center of gravity SUV without stability control.

Wow! Incredible driving to avoid that semi-truck...the Cayenne even hit the brakes and controlled it too!

Great job watching the road and for watching for semis launching themselves over a center divide into one's path!

Looks like the Cayenne never even touched the opposite wall either.

That was some swerve and some vehicle control.

Impressive.

Sincerely,

Macster.

I'll never forget the test drive that we took in a Cayenne when they first came out. I thought we were going over for sure. I know a lot of Porsche owners talk crap about them but they are incredible vehicles.
