It is not my intention to thrash this car at the edges of it's capabilities, as the risk factors outweigh the potential rewards (wooden plaques) as well as my ability and willingness to incur extensive repairs, but I wish to experience the car as it was designed and built to be driven, test my skills against the track and clock, and do the things they do in the TV ads that would get you thrown in jail in the real world.....

The more I drive this car, the more impressed I am by the overall "balance" this car has. I think my old E30 would suit me better as a full-out track car, but I've never experienced a car that does so many things so well. I'm havin' a good time.....

"Naturally the common people do not want war. But after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and for exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country!"
--- Hermann Goering, Hitler's Reich Marshall, at the Nuremberg Trials after World War II
