- But if I had a 911, I could have kicked out the back end and just kind of
- slid around the person in front of me. That would take some fancy

- WHAT??? Not drive as fast??? That would be an insult to the GTi. That is
- almost as bad as accusing me of going from German to Japanese. Up until
- recently I have owned either VW or Porsche auto's. (I did break down and

- to fix it and sell it so I can turn the $$ into a 911 or something decent.
