It took me a minute to figure out who that was, its still hard to recognize your car under all the krylon black . I say you put your money where your mouth is and don't just give me a ride, you let me drive your car, then you can report back to all these fine people on what sort of driver I am after I beat you ...

I'm under contract from Auto Technica and they don't let me drive for other sponsors, they won't sponsor the car unless they have prepped it and unfortunatly since I beat the owner he refuses to get me a good ride and I can't help you on the friendly college girl's either, my school is like 75/25 male/female, I have to leave campus and go after the locals, far hotter and plentiful, I just never inquire about age All I can offer team Ron is my charming personality, lighting fast driving, and maybe some suggestions on paint shops.....

Funny, what is it about Pelican that gets us early 911 drivers to wax so eloquently there.
Heres what I wrote about my car in '05. over there. It still sums it up, except that in the end I couldn't resist a little more tire.

No power steering, no ABS, no PSM, no sound deadening, etc. I've so far resisted the urge for more rubber just to be able to savor the thrill of more attainable slip angles. For me, I could care less about any correctness or estectic issues outside of the pure driving experience. I want the car to feel and perform a certain way. Some might consider my interpretation to be illegitimate or mundane. But I'd urge you to consider that what we are witnessing here verges on a social movement. That so many are recasting these cars in so many interesting and different ways, is itself the ultimate tribute to the 911's character. It is a proof point that these cars were and continue to be an extraordinary and incredibly flexible design, simple in conception and execution, yet incredibly rich in potential and flexibility. I think thats worthy of celebration...
