@Vavon: Oh my... is that a 993 911 GT2 I spy on the far right? My goodness, that certainly got thoughts of any other cars out of my head in a hurry! Read more

@Gizmo45: Comments like this are a big part of the reason I set up the Jalopmap. It's so awesome to find people you can share that sense of kinship with, and I figured there's no harm in helping some of us meet up intentionally rather than accidentally on the road. :) Read more

@nick2ny: What e-mail address did you use? I screwed up the settings in the forwarding of the e-mail address I have listed on my website and can't get into it now, sorry. You can PM me here and/or I can send you my personal e-mail privately if you prefer. Read more

@Vavon: Like an Android phone! Yeah, I can laugh and cry at the same time. See? :'D Read more

@Ray Wert: I wouldn't be at all surprised. Wish I got to do some burnouts in it, though. Read more

@Vavon: I especially think it's funny how they mixed and matched 911 generations. The headlights are from a 996 Turbo (or late-model 996 911), but the side scoops are modeled after the most recent facelift of the 997 Turbo. Read more

@John Krewson: You are sweet :) I've been hoping to meet you at a car show or meet or drive or something for a while now; I hope I'll get the chance at some point. Read more

@Sam Smith: I wonder which of us had more fun in it. Read more

@John Krewson: Nor did I until literally half an hour before we left. Read more

@Scoutch leaks more than BP: I love the old black and yellow California license plates. Would that happen to be in San Francisco, by any chance? Read more

@Vavon: I can't decide if I should laugh or cry. It's a fun problem to have. :) Read more

Did this extravaganza of lardliness take place before or after the Bullrun? I just want to know who got sloppy seconds. Read more

@StaatlichesBauhaus: Actually, you're totally right; I sort of forgot about that. The 918 Spyder definitely gets heads swiveling faster, though. ;) Read more

@electricarchie: Hehe, I even play the game in cities if it won't annoy drivers around me too much. I love timing things so I roll up to a light just as it turns green, and I brake early so I'm still carrying a fair amount of speed when I get to the light. It's fun to see people's bewildered looks when I come… Read more

@clank-o-tron: When I find someone whose driving style I can relate to and understand, I stick tight with them in traffic or on the open road. I still think fondly about a trip I did to Virginia at one point in a rental car... over the course of 200 miles or so, I "picked up" a Corvette, a CTS, and an Element who all… Read more

Among street drivers, I always appreciate people who can stay off the brakes. That is more nuanced than it sounds at first glance. A very aware driver gathers information from a huge number of sources and even in traffic knows what the people around him are doing and where they are going. He should be able to… Read more

@GV_Goat: Technology in cars often starts at the higher end and hopefully eventually trickles down to the rest of the line. Think about how much all car manufacturers have learned from racing. Most of us can't afford to go out and buy a racecar, can we? Read more

@AustintheBruiser: I think that's the problem with hybrids for car enthusiasts; nobody has bothered making them fun, you know? If your only motivation for getting a particular vehicle over another is to save a little money on gas and have a slightly cleaner enviroconscience, then that's just bully for you but it… Read more

Thank you, Tesla and Porsche, for making electric/hybrid cars ridiculously sexy. People can scream about a hybrid Porsche all they want, but at the end of the day you know this will still be a hugely capable machine. Instead of thinking that Porsche has lost their way or sold out or something, maybe we could agree… Read more

@fhrblig: Glad you're out of the ocean and back where you belong. :) Read more
