First Drive: Don't Weissach your Porsche 718 Spyder RS How much RS is too much RS? The 718 Spyder RS edges a delicate threshold between glorious, unfiltered power and obnoxious theatrics.

PDK-only Parsh is still good Parsh. Just don’t Weissach too close to the sun.

‘amongst’ ‘whilst’ ‘amidst’

we don’t use Middle English anymore and these don’t sound fancy. begging people to stop filing copy with these obsolete -st suffixes

there's a man on this flight whose entire desktop is completely tiled with files, and he's just leaving the laptop sitting open & idle with all of them on display.

there are dozens? hundreds? of icons.
i am distressed. mr 5C, truly — you don't have to live like this.

+ More enjoyable at licence-friendly speeds. Slow boost build affords lots of time & room to play in second. Fast without being too fast to enjoy.

- Normal traction control is confusing; will let it step a bit but engages jerkily & unsettles the car almost unpredictably

Framed photo of a jumping off-road racecar, numbered #69

The photo I've told so many of you about.

Growing up, dad explained that he'd chosen #69 so that people could still read it if he rolled over.

I believed that for entirely too many years.

Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing

Swapped into the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing for the weekend.
I remember being really stoked on these in the moment, then entirely forgetting about both 4 and 5 Blackwings within weeks. I fear that forgettability seems likely to persist: it does a few things pleasantly, but none particularly remarkably

Elle Alder turning the Porsche 944 onto the front straight at Cayuga. The body is rolling steeply toward the camera GPS telemetry showing peaks of 1.3-1.4 G through fast corners at Cayuga

How many Gs? On old all-seasons? In my stock 944? I beg your pardon?

Ford GT parked behind a red Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS

apparently I seemed disheartened by my week of 911, so a sweet pal's solution was to remind me that Good doesn't have to be Dull.

also wowzers, how is the GT more comfortable over bumps than the 911

also also: HOLY BRAKE RESPONSE, BATMAN. this pedal got that gorilla grip
