Why all the A/C love? I never use it unless I have to roll the windows up. And I live in Texas :icon14: :tup:

Oh yeah! I was on vacation in Mexico back when they were first making these and there was a shipping port nearby with thousands of em! They weren't yet selling in the US yet so I immediately noticed them because they looked different.

Quad turbo W16 engine! I shat myself in shop class when my teacher in high school had a lecture on it. This is when Bugatti Vernon first came out.

I remember in the 90's when I was a valet, I jumped in a big body two door Benz and put the car in reverse. I looked out the back window and the rear headrests flipped down and these tiny 4" antennas popped up out of the edge of the rear fenders to use as a marker for backing up, despite there being a whole bumper sticking out past them. I thought to myself "welp, they've thought of everything now". Ha!

Tesla's new GPS positioning Suspension (Forgot the tech name) - It basically automatically raises the car when it detects bad uneven terrain and lowers it when it is a perfectly smooth road).

Guys on air suspension call that "eyes and remote in hand". :rofl2:

I need to be in cold temperatures most of the time. I'm hyper, always angry and I have thyroid issues which makes my "internal thermostat" to be malfunctioning all the time. I am known for being outside when temperatures are in the low ten's and I'm dressed as if the temps were in the 80's

EFI, think of the drivability we have.

The chauffeur.

I just wish I could afford one. I hate driving daily.

The exhaust from the Zonda...

In both sound and craftsmanship.

just read an article on a new adaptive cruise control that Porsche is developing. It can pull up to .7 g's in corners to take the quickest and most fuel efficient line on winding roads with cruise control engaged.

That's pretty cool.

Porsche's Working on the Most Entertaining Cruise Control Ever

Cruise control on windy roads? Every once and a while technology just tries to take the fun out of driving. Parking assist, yea sure, I get it. Braking for you when you're too busy texting? I think it gives the wrong message that you can take your attention off of driving. But when I hit the windy roads, all things distracting me disappears and I'm engaged to the fullest.
