When I had a Porsche, it was made obvious to me that I didn't have Porsche money then either.

Lease rates back then were awful inviting.

I think that was part of it, as well (leasing). I stressed myself out worrying about dings, etc because it was a lease & a Porsche... I never worried when I leased the M3, but somehow the Porsche stigma did it.

Gotta stop looking like a pleb stock S2000 and join the fake CR but functional crew.
I'm planning on putting expanding foam inside the lip so it doesn't immediately crack and deflate from cone smashing during AX.

Ya. I just need to figure out a better way to mount it to the car. Maybe riv-certs? I tried self-tapping screws last time and cone smash actually weakened the screws and the cone dragged the lip under the car during an autocross which I ran over and mutilated.

I don't think THAT is what made you nutters.
