I am still learning to shift well and while practicing higher rev takeoffs I get folks trying to race me.

As soon as I get to the speed limit I settle down though. There's no limit on how fast you can accelerate to the speed limit, and I routinely prove the 0-60 in under 5.5 seconds because it makes me smile.

I noticed that Porsche drivers are always smiling;

1 - because your car handles like a dream
2 - because you have nothing to prove and it bugs people in other kinds of cars
3 - because there are no kids in the back
4 - because sometimes you have a hot girl in the passenger seat
5 - because even not so hot girls and guys automatically seem hotter in a Porsche
6 - Because you can take your DD to the Track and be competetive
7 - Because other folks decided to buy/drive less interesting or boring cars that are a dime a dozen
8 - Because other folks have not discovered that Porsches can be affordable.
9 - Because you have the history, design and performance of Porsche in your car.
