It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.


I don't know of many roads where you can push a new Porsche to its limits, but with an old one you can get away with it and it feels like you're flying. And that's where the fun is.

I had more fun in a Miata. It shifts much better than the 356 and far more comfortable. I actually plan to get one in the future.

Of course when we restarted the car it all became normal again. Lexus has no idea why it happened even though they were able to retrieve error codes. So my car has been in shop since while waiting for them to ship a new trans from Japan. Still don't know ...
