If annoying why not ignore it?

Perhaps it's important for you to let others here know you are amazed and annoyed?

I enjoy the infotainment qualities of Porsche-related issues. Plus you never know what useful insight someone might contribute in what is to some an apparently frivolous senseless thread. Even the "drive in the rain" thread was fine with me, IMO.

Just wondering what makes people tick.
I for one suffer from histrionic personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder, so it’s hard for me to resist. I constantly try to improve my own image at someone else's expense.

About Scott I don’t know maybe he just wants to keep this forum closer to a more advanced technical level, thinking out loud what short of question is this.. or he was just saying his opinion with a goodwill and a sense of humor.

Btw you are the one who used words like “frivolous / senseless”
But then again maybe you have what I have and can’t ignore a comment either.

I go from 1st to 6th to save wear and tear on the clutch. Why bother with the intermediate gears?

Yes, lol, that's what I would have said.

No biggie. It's something to do. All in the spirit of fun-fotainment.
