I was passed from behind by a cop while in the Cayman and went by another cop while in the Boxster and not even a second glance from either of them. So I can probably check my fear of cops of the list.

Yep, they are crazy all right. I have an old friend who takes his lifted 4x4 Duramax Diesel to the drags. It was last dynoed at 1000hp and he spends most of his money replacing trans and rear diffs. Crazy fool wants to race me up winding Mt. Baldy Road in my Boxster. Never gonna happen because he will insist on winning or die trying. Crazy fool.

I can't tell you the number of times we will be motoring along and Big 4x4 Fella comes up on our tail doing at least eighty to get there . My wife will say oh my gosh, she don't curse but I do enough for both of us. I guess we must be passing through his clearly marked territory. I smile and wave him on watching to make sure he goes around us instead of over us. For the most part our country drives are on the back roads and the people always wave as they stare at our car as we cruise by.
