As I intimated a few days earlier, if I had to be in a crash (not that I would ever make that choice) the Cayenne is the car I would pick, hands down.

My wife survived a very nasty t-bone unscathed.

"The engine came right out."

That's an interesting design feature...

Comes in handy in a crash. That's why I like the V8.

There was a Canadian Flag on the door. Cayenne did a great job. I'm sure they were flying over that hill. LOL

The driver was Kees Nierop a former Porsche factory driver who represented the Canadian team with Lawrence Yap for the past two years in this event. Kees was one of the factory drivers for the famed 959 among others. Kees was my instructor last year at two Porsche media events in Alabama and Texas, one for the new Cayenne and the other for the sports car line-up.. Great guy and very skilled.
