I was having a pretty busy day at work today, so instead of rushing out to grab a quick lunch, I took at 15 minute drive around on some less congested roads (not fast, just relaxing) and wound down a bit. A nice relaxing lunch, and without any calories . Makes me glad I bought the turbo.

Just wanted to share my brief "mini turbo vacation".

 

thats what that car is made for!


And FWIW...I LOVE hearing stories(even short ones) that just involve a totally pointless trip other then too enjoy the cars...its nice to know some people are still enthusiasts in a world where most buy for the symoblizm...

 

I do this alot in between classes. I am a student right now, double major in mechanical engineering and business, and love to just go on a nice drive when i need a study break. For the most part the P-Car sits in the garage and i take the Bimmer out. I have electric exhaust cutouts on both pipes with an x pipe before it. When i hit that switch and drive through the Mississippi backroads i forget all about all the troubles and worries of school. Glad to see i am not alone.

 

school... work.. all the same =) with the p-cars all worries goes away

 

is there an exhaust for the 996 that i can get that will allow me to press a button and run straight pipes like on my BMW?

 

i think some porsche dealers are able to install the sport exhaust system in cars that didn't come like that from the factory...

 

There is a factory option for straight pipes, how come no one ever told me this. On my BMW there is a butterfly valve on both pipes about half way after the headers. When i flip a switch inside the cabin the exhaust dumps into the atmosphere without going through anything, cats or mufflers, that is what i want on my 996.
