Hehe, well said, and with a dab of humor, no less.

Yeah but we can drive to another state and back before you get the old American V8 warmed up and out of park. You're correct though you can tow a camper trailer much further than I can!

I live in the land of trucks, big trucks, $50K+ trucks, doolie's, etc most of which will never see a gravel road! Gotta love Texas!

Yeah, the 911's are not forgiving if you screw the pooch on turn..with all the weight in the arse end.. she'll keep spining and spining...Till it hits something or stops on its own free will.

Other then that their fun cars!

Dont take your foot off the gas. Slow modulation on the 911, never foot off foot on, bad bad bad.

450 hp and 90" wheelbase... over the years the Healey and I have come to an understanding... It is trying to kill me and I must be vigilante. The car is worse than a porche even... It is really much like a ferral cat. Still.... I have allways been able to figure out which one was mine in a parking lot.
