Well, frankly, I was afraid that he was looking for a reason to pull a gun on me. For all I know, he could've been an Iraqi war-veteran psycho, or maybe someone who just detest black Boxsters. In any case, that guy gave me the creeps...

I know you meant to say a Veteran of the U.S. Armed Services, right?

definitely a shaky weird video.
what the hell made you put stripes on the car? sorry to say, but that definitely looks horrible. but then again, if you like it its all that matters

Peer, that's a crazy video! I am still dizzy! If I am ever driving in Cali and see a nice Boxster with racing stripes, I am going to give it a ton of space on the highway!

Yes, of course.
And, besides, I didn't mean to put down the U.S. troops in any way with my remark (if someone read it that way). The thing I tried to convey was that he could be a psycho dischargee of the war (a not so uncommon thing these days) and perhaps carry a gun.

Well, since my mother always told me that it's only people who lack a specific ability who feel the need to brag about it. Hence, I won't start bragging about my driving skills, but just hint that there's no need to be afraid that I'll cross over in your lane of travel ;^)

Oh, thanks. Actually, I've put stripes on all my cars; gray SAAB (white stripes), red Eunos (silver stripes), and most recently silver on the black Boxster. Here's a pic of me striping the Eunos:

I don't care how good your driving skills are. I just don't see how your can drive a sports car, on a winding road, with manual tranny, shift gears, steer, and video tape... with only 2 hands! Good thing your friend was there to assist you.

Please be careful.

Although if you don't care, I'm sure most other fellow drivers do.

Your "Eunos" looks a lot like a Miata. What's the difference?

Scissored from Wikipedia:
"In Japan, the car was not badged as a Mazda, as the company was experimenting with the creation of different marques for deluxe models, similar to Nissan's Infiniti and Toyota's Lexus. Instead, the Mazda MX-5 was sold as the Eunos Roadster in that market."
