A few things to know before stealing my 914 (2022)
The tone of this article is always a bit off to me and I can never figure it out. This seems like some sort of bragging, boasting and I don&#x27;t understand why that is appropriate. I&#x27;m not a car person, I don&#x27;t have the same draw to then as a lot of folks, I&#x27;ve lived in Toronto for the past decade and don&#x27;t know anyone who owns a car...<p>With that said, I&#x27;m trying to understand why this article isn&#x27;t met with a response like &quot;it is extremely unethical to operate a vehicle in this condition. The drastically increased cognitive load, poor stopping performance, and lack of modern safety features makes this vehicle a lot more likely to hurt strangers when you hit them&quot;<p>I never understood old car culture, let alone old and broken car culture displayed here. Surely a vehicle operator would have reduced response time with the increased cognitive load to any divergent situation and be placing other&#x27;s lives at risk by not having their equipment maintained to an expected performance standard.<p>Not to mention the lack of braking, and lack of things like crumple zones etc, plus feeling light headed from engine fumes and poor ventilation.<p>I understand being into old technology, I&#x27;ve been involved in restoring old tape machines and vinyl cutting lathes, broadcast audio consoles etc, but I don&#x27;t understand ignoring the fact that you are exposing unconsenting members of the public to an increased risk of injury or death because of your interest in old technology. I don&#x27;t understand accepting the freedom of that choice when it exposes unconsenting others to more risk just for your own personal interest.<p>I can&#x27;t help but harshly judge the author for their reckless decisions because the car isn&#x27;t restricted to a closed course and can severely impact others lives simply because they enjoy the thrill of it.
