Last line should be erased. 280Z? Must be old. I suppose a "Porche" really isn't an actual sports car. Unkown author needs someone from the future to go back and let him use spell check for a second.

Definitely disagree with the first set of commandments #10. Thanks for revising.

I've broken at least half of them. It's a car, not a religion.

...so far I have only broken commandment #8...

I got stuck driving about a 1/4 mile on a gravel road. No plan B...

I was doing about 10 mph...needless to say I had a few impatient drivers behind me...

Tic tic tic on the underside....

But since it is all in jest, I can get a laugh from it. Can't say I've kept all those commandments either.

Me too &

I can appreciate the humor though Except for number 10. That's just douchey and elitist.

I prefer these as well due to the fact that there is no mention of deeming other makes/models "sports car worthy or not."

However, I do have a problem with #5 - clean and waxed at all times?! Presentable would be the more ideal alternative for me here - I wipe off bird crap, clean the wheels, etc. but I certainly do not have it car show clean and ready at all times. It is a daily driver after all
