Last thing I wanna do...

I've never understood that statement:

"Drive these cars the way they were designed to be driven." [sic]

It's a philosophy that escapes me because it seems to only apply to specific cars (yet BMW people et al., all feel the same way, too) and to nothing else.

For example, should the 2nd amendment-ors here only use guns for what they were designed to do? Of course not. *wink*

Alternatively, if a 2015 Toyota Camry is designed with a top speed of 120mph, was it designed with the intention of people driving 100+mph? Interesting dilemma, wouldn't you say? I mean, if it wasn't meant to be driven at over 100mph, why is it designed with a top speed of 120mph? It doesn't make sense. Why does a Toyota need to go over 90mph? But it does!?!



Sarcasm aside, I really like the combination of the two sentences above - The opinion about the only way one can truly obtain fulfillment, followed by the personal disclaimer. I'll tell you why too - it's truly fantastic - if both statements are true, I don't think that... what's this guy's name... linderpat, yeah, that's it - linderpat - as I was saying, I don't think linderpat has any ground to reply to this post, right? I mean he could care less about what people think about his driving in an event (which is based on the philosophy of driving the car the way it was designed to be driven)- surely, he could care even less about what someone types about these statements, right? Otherwise, his disclaimer is false. Or... if the disclaimer is false, then is the prior sentence also invalid? An interesting case... let's watch and see what happens.

Oh wait, I forgot to start out this post with a Ricky Bobby-ism, "With all due respect..." There. Now there is no way any offense could be taken.



Carry on.

This thread is incredibly silly. Can't we just get back to gun toting cats flipping smart cars for old time's sake?

Hey cfos, "designed for" and "capable of are two significantly different things. Now I'm not going to lie, I didn't read your entire post but I would bet that when you aren't in it, your husband drives it pretty aggressively!

Yes, it's pretty clear you didn't read that one or the one I was referring to -- if you did, you'd know that there was no talk about "capacity/capability" only "design".

That's fine; I'm sure when your husband isn't helping you with reading comprehension (and closing quotes), you aren't at your possible best. But then... how could you be? Aside from Particlewave who probably think's it's Mecca, at the end of the day you are in Idaho. It's great that you can read! ...Well, sort-of... I mean at least the words, them concepts can be down-right tough! XOXO

When I read the post you quoted, the first thing I thought was "they finally got internet up there???"

[CHRISP357]

Well sort of. We write a note and give a day laborer five bucks to go to a library in Oregon and use their computers. Slow but relatively efficient!

LOLLL

Never really understood myself.... all/any cars were designed to be driven. In the context I think what people mean by saying this is the Porsche cars are designed to take the beat-up, you can push them to the limits and they'll still give out plenty.

^ whatever...

smart car flipping... now we're talking!
