What does 'hon' mean?

BTW, you live in Rocklin? I live in Lincoln and work in Rocklin. So when are you going to show me what your Porsche can do. I have yet to ride in one.

The two most aggressive drivers I know drive mini-vans....and tell people all the time about their adventures (and that police are too macho to stop them....).

They seem to be right....no police attention.

Exactly what I was thinking. Aggressive is relative.

Er..uh....you are kidding with the spelling of AGRESSIVELY.. aren't you?
My experience is most turbo drivers are in the slow lane in second gear
very rarely see them drive aggressively. Cops target our cars in California.

Its probably because unlike the other exotic cars(italians specifically) when you push these you don't run the chance of something breaking! German cars can handle the 'aggressiveness'

I've got 2 cars in the stable right now. The 996TT and a 1998 white subaru forester (the wife's old car). When I'm really late and REALLY have to speed on the highway, I take the subie, because a Porsche doing 95 gets your attention, a white station wagon doing 95 gets your pity. It's not like the added, acceleration, braking or cornering do me any good when I'm cruising down the turnpike.

Cops just leave the thing alone like it's invisible.
