Does it also have to do with the fact you're doing the same in your personal car (M4) off duty??

Lol! I have my days where I hooligan out, but I drive a 2021 Corolla most days (...and the M4 sold; I'm now heading into the Porsche camp with a 2022 Carrera S 7MT), so it's granny speeds and cruising.

When the Carrera arrives I will become a hooligan again......juuuuuust a lil!!!

I feel it has gotten crazy after covid. I would do 80-90 and I would be FLYING. I would pass everyone. Now.... I can barely keep up at that speed. So either I'm getting old or the rona fucked with peoples head.

There are tons of great cars out there to be sure, but there is something special about what Porsche engineers do. I am sometimes tempted to go to a newer one but I still can't walk away from my Bug without looking back.

The flow of traffic down here is basically 80-90mph.

Usually it's some POS Sentra, Elantra, Kia, Altima, etc. that I'll see weaving in/out at 100+. You can see the car swaying since the suspension isn't set up for that kind of change up. Amazes me every time.

I had a 2006 Cayman S and it remains the purest car I have ever owned. I personally like the balance of a mid-engine.

It was a common view in Toronto that you weren't really a copper until you had at least one divorce under your belt.

It wasn't on any of the exams if that's what you mean, but it was one of the great many pearls of wisdom you picked up from the older guys.

Haha, I see. I can't help but feel those wise elders just didn't want to see some hotshot new kid come in and be successful at the job and not go through at least a couple of wives. Lol.
