Some random thoughts and questions.

Many people dont understand the pull twice to unlock and open the door. I've had a bunch of people damn-near tear the handle off trying to get out.

Interesting article.

I have some thoughts about the moment of inertia, but I'll just keep them to myself.

This was really interesting to me too.

I am interested in learning about the engineering of Porsche and cars in general. Anyone got a book they recommend? Its need to start semi-basic. I dont know much about cars, but I do have an engineering background.

Is there a chrome "Carrera" emblem for the back of our cars? I know there is a chrome "911" emblem. The plastic feel and look bothers me.

I really like my car.

I saw a GTS on the road for the first time, and I really like that car too.

Check out this Cayman with a bunch of 911 parts.

k... im done for now.

Those LED lights on the front look like a horrible fit.

tball is infamous around these parts
Maybe that's why the '99 Firebird is getting all the attention.
