What is the correct way to drive through a curve (spirited driving)?
When I come to an curvy exit ramp for example, do I accelerate going into it? Or midway into it? This is purely for fun to pull some Gs. Wondering what the correct way is.

My Boxster's tire has a tiny leak that slowly - very slowly - leaks air. I notice it getting lower every two weeks or so.

Have no idea what repair cost would be and the upholstery shops are closed for the weekend.
He says it affects how snug/tight the top closes on the car.
