Thanks for the advice, I'm going to try the throw-yourself-into-work stuff for a bit and see if it helps, although I think I can almost recite the Boxter manual!

Well now that you have a serious sportscar on the way you should read this book.

and it might take you until January to "read" it all..

Thank you for the book ref. I'm sure I could use proper instruction. Somehow, hitting 105 in a Berreta back when I was 16 y.o. seems... reckless.

I also consider myself lucky that a local car dealer has been constucting a 4.5 mile track for people to "properly" drive their cars.

Here are links for Moutain West people:

Oooooohh, that is going to be a long wait man. You'll keep thinking about it...and thinking about it...and you'll visit the Porsche dealer just to be near the cars...and then you will think about it some more...and then you will pretend to shift in your sleep and then you will think about it some more until you go completely mad. You'll start mixing Mobil 1 in your morning protein shake and before you know it you went crazy. Sorry dude, I don't think there is much hope. You can send it to me though and I will take good care of it.
