Yes, Mr. Stewart, I am a kid in a gokart again.

Excellent vid, thanks for that.

Before seeing that video, I can't explain or find a words when people tell me "it's only a Boxster, it's not like you own a very high end car"!

Now I know what to tell them..It's not about the price of the car, it's about feeling like a kid again in the go-kart and for a moment that you forget about other responsibilities...

It's a beautiful day, and I brought the practical car to work.

That makes me want to go back home and get the Boxster. What was I thinking?

Thanks for the post.

I posted that a few months back along with this one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owJcZ9rwy0I

Not too many people noticed it though... must have picked the wrong discussion.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

Hmmm... I'm starting to suspect there might be a search function on YouTube.

What a great video. It makes me proud to be an owner. Sometimes I forget how great looking the car is. The video really captures the lines of the car in motion.
I love it!
