Some mild humor here, to break up the serious topics of oil viscosities, gas brands, tire sizes, how to tell if the spoiler goes up while driving, etc.

My 12 yr old son and I were leaving his morning soccer game. His soccer ball was laying on the floorboard at his feet. Turning out of the parking lot onto a wide, new, smooth, straight, highway-like road with no traffic, I gassed my 997 for an acceleration thrill. Totally unexpected, the soccer ball rolls UP his legs and lands in his lap! For a split second, we both look at the ball that under its own power moved into his lap. We then look at each other and bust out laughing.

I didn't know my car had the anti-grav option, but it is cool!

Anti-gravity is bad. If your car floats, you lose the feel of the road.

i had an anti gravity moment w/ some water. Not good.

Newton's First Law of Motion:"Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it."

Newton's Second Law of Motion:"The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector"

Newton's Third Law of Motion:For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction"

Tell your son the answer is #1

But it increases your tire longevity dramatically.

Hey BlueJay.....nice to see you after a while. How's things?

BlueJay73

Well, hello old chap. A voice from the past, 2006 actually.
How's things on your side of the pond?
I saw that you got a new Pcar a while ago. I've just gotten a new one too, although I haven't gotten around to changing my avatar.
Say hello to Will and Kate for me.
Cheerio.

draxa

OK thank you. That Kate is a peach, isn't she? I shall ask my son to give Will your best wishes. He, too, is an officer in the cavalry and bumps into HRH occasionally.

BlueJay73

Wow, I didn't see that response coming...

My boy's ride isn't quite so perky as mine..........
