Porsche Carrera 997 vs my E63
Im driving to Los Angeles from San Diego and this guy in a black Carrera comes up two lanes away and downshifts. He starts to rev his little car as I smile feeling bad for what i'm about to put him thru. I hammer it and thats all she wrote. I hit about 120 and slow back down to about 65.
He catches up and pulls next to me again. The guy down shifts, i look over and let him take off. I, again hit it and blow by him...again....NO COMPETITION!
After about a minute and me cruising at 65ish again, he caught up, I roll my window down give him the "nice try but you suck thumbs up." He looks over, nods his head and goes away.
My first official kill story.

I ran 997 911's, Boxster S's, and Cayman S's around Barber Motorsport for two days in 2010. Unlike other driving schools, you're in the car most of the time, very little bull**** lectures, so seat time is MOST of the time. Mine and my, then, 57 yr. old father's back felt fine after that and 27 holes of golf following the last day. Then he went back to the Masters class last year for another two days and another 18 holes, by himself, to do even more of it more intensely. He was, then, 59 yrs. old. No back problems to complain of. He's now 60 yrs. old, has owned his 997 C2S for 2.5 yrs., drives it 3 days a week (average is low due to Colorado climate + RWD + Z Rated Tires + his desire to keep it a nice car, not the car's comfort) and tracks it. He doesn't complain of back problems (and he most certainly would ***** about that to me). So I have NO idea how this is funny.
