OT:
How on earth do you own a car like that and keep your license?

That's part of the reason I want to sell it. It's a ridiculously powerful car. Luckily my commute has little traffic, so I'm not stuck in 1st.

I really don't want a ticket, so I'm a bit of a wuss about speeding on the highway. You drive a car like that, you figure you're a marked man. Also, I try to keep the jackass factor low to not sully the reputation of Porsche drivers. I'll leave that type of driving to the BMW drivers (sorry Peter V).

However, there isn't a law about acceleration, and that's more than half the fun in that car. Porsche reports 0-60 in 4.2 (the new ones do it in 3.6). I took a friend for a ride last weekend, he was squealing like a girl.

I recently saw an ad on Craigslist for an '07 turbo, the reason the guy was selling was that he had his license revoked.
