[Jim Vander Wal]

Not married but did take a female friend for a ride.

She's a salesperson at the local Porsche/Audi dealership. After about a 20 minute ride I pulled into a parking lot, got out and had to convince her to drive. She did and was rather timid at first but after a bit of acclimation she became more comfortable, not crazy just settling in. She did really well.

We were on 4 lane industrial road at a traffic light. Instructed her to roll away from the light and mash it at about 2,500. She did and the tires lit up as expected. I was impressed at her control but not as much as when she grabbed 2nd gear and set me back in the seat. I was in love, she had a huge grin.

But then she's not your "normal" girl. Multiple Porsche & Audi driving schools, drove everything that came through the dealership and ran sport bikes at 180 during track events. I knew what I was letting loose.

What good are the toys if you can't share them?
