Fucking Firefox! Crashed again!


Ok I got it to work:

Granted, the Carrera GT still sounds better, but even with my eyes closed I know it's a Porsche flat-6 - not some 4-banger.

of the 996gt3s that have blown by me, alternately driven by either a 20year old BU student or a 50 year old white dude in a tie --those things are freaking loud and raucous.

this sounded too tame and worries me.

It should be an easy fix for someone with a welder and some spare time.

Re the first video: Wish the commentator would stfu so I could hear the car.

Re the second video: What a pompous ass and he didn't even say a word. I know when I go to the track I always take my eyes off the track to play with my suspension settings. Never turn the dsc off until right before i want to hang the back end out, either.

The second video is a compilation of segments of video shown at the Porsche website (still, I believe). When the guy pushes the suspension button, the video goes on to show an animation of what the system does, etc. Someone just went through the trouble of editing the animations out, so it isn't fair to bash (that much).-

Bah. I saw the movie that I saw. I am going to bash away until it doesn't show the driver doing these things while driving at high speeds. I think I have a constitutional right to bash german car manufacturer movie clips.
