VR is a douche though.

1st of all (this has nothing to do with you JT or the video itself) every part of me wants to bash these guys driving in video so badly... revving their engines in stop and go traffic and in underpasses in LA speeding from red light to red light as fast as they can... wow, LAME. The 1st 6:30 of this was kinda pointless, who are they trying to impress going 0-35-0 every 500-1000 ft? It really just attested to what having a $650,000 car does to younger guys (makes them think they are the sh*t).

However, I am a huge Porsche fanboi and I won't lie, I'm jealous as all hell and I love those cars probably more than their actual owners do.

I just don't see the point of owning one of those in LA... its gotta be mostly for the image/status.

I'd rather actually be in that thing somewhere where I could do 150mph and nobody would give a sh*t or get in my way (remote Arizona or on a track).

FWIW, it was cool to see the cars in action on the highway and I'll bet it was a hell of a ride for you so thanks for sharing.

Udub: Ditto.

Amazing cars, but A-hole drivers. Passing in the turning lane on a crowded city street? Fishtailing while passing cars and pedestrians? C'mon I hope they get their cars impounded and licenses taken away, they have no business driving on public roads.
