Went on a 4-hour sanity recuperation blast to the desert. Murdered many bugs, busted a new hole in the rear undercarriage plastic. Then washed it all away.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Bit on the news yesterday from AAA saying that they expect traffic to actually be worse as things open back up due to people avoiding mass transit and car pools :(

Hmmm... What's his discount on new cars and does it apply to Porsche too? If he can get 20k or so knocked of a Panny 4S wagon I might be willing to make some room for him...
