Thanks for the extra karma, but it's not working. I almost totaled my boxster tonight and I'm too embarrassed to say what happen right now. Lets just say my black wheels are going into the scrap pile

Wheels are replaceable, ego will heal. Glad you're alright.

Porsche Performance Driving School, well worth the ~$325 and if it saves you even 1 rim, or avoid some accident its more than paid for itself, plus its just plain great fun.

Most Drivers cannot drive their 986 to its full potential, or use its great handling to avoid accidents and road hazards without some specific Porsche training.

It will make a night and day difference in most folks driving skills.

It might even get you a discount on your insurance.

Its also kinda fun to drive the car to its limit in the twisties and see the Honda trying to keep up behind you go into the dirt or a guard rail.
I've seen than happen more than a few times and I'm starting to feel a little sorry for them now.
Before the course I almost put my Boxster into the guardrail at the same place and thats what made me decide to take the course as I obviously did not know how to drive the car to its potential.


Glad your OK Woody.
When ever something breaks its time for an upgrade, driver and car

Woody is great, but now I'm definitely in awe, he had an accident last night, yet he replied to my message within minutes regarding my order this morning.
Woody you are the best!

LOL, Thanks for your concerns but it wasn't my driving skills. Not that I couldn't use some lessons though. I'm still too embarrassed to say what happen yet. Sorry but I need some more time or stiff drinks for my ego to heal.
