So, when I got my first Porsche, I had a great time. I wrapped it around corners and shot off the line at stoplights and in general drove like it was meant to be driven, recognizing that doing so was wasteful and silly and, thanks to the softness of Z-rated tires, expensive.
The analogy breaks down at the tire point, since there’s no lasting cost associated with this kind of showing-off, but otherwise this 200 apps open and Expose-enaged screenshot of a Mac is definitely in the same category of silly trick. You couldn’t do what I did in my Porsche in a Camry, and you can’t do this with a Windows machine, but neither activity is particularly useful.
But they’re cool.
Digital tire squealing? well try the new app at the Apple store PocketDyno. It uses the gyro scope in the phone to measure acceleration and does a few calcs to get you your stats. Pretty cool. No that it has much to do with your post. Well sort of.
Oh, no, I think this is a spot-on comment! Not that I need encouragement to drive quickly… maybe we should test in YOUR new hot-rod instead of my old, needs-suspension-work-and-tires beast.
Did you realize that (a) I’ve had that thing for 9 years and (b) it’s now 14 years old?
Soon to be a classic. Brembo brakes and some michelin rubber would make a nice update. Actually the runflats on the new toy are pretty good grippy though some say too noisy. Haven’t noticed between the stereo and the tail pipes… Yeah I actually will donate money to this app company. I have to encourage this sort of creativity. would even be fun on a pedal bike.
