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 donโ€™t Weissach too close to the sun.

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.

+ 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.

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

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
