Cars, Security and a Peek into my Life
Am still vibrating.
Hosted by Pfaff Auto at Mosport’s Development track, it was my 1st Porsche experience (and 2nd track experience (same track last week with Honda.))
And I get “throttle steering” now, accidentally did that once. And the CAR. Like, it’s… just woah.
Had a great coach, thanks Brad.
Have plenty more photos, and a video. Will post that next week.
Thank you Pfaff!
Pfaff threw a party at the Magna Golf Club, to celebrate the launch of Porsche’s newest addition, the all-new Macan.
Spot me below.
It’s Porsche, so of course it’s beautiful.

This made me nervous —> open beverages inside the cars.
Not sure how they do it, but Pfaff is consistently one of the classiest dealerships.
Sure fancy events like this contribute, but there’s something else about them… when I put my finger on it, will let you know.
First, I tested Ford’s 1.0L engine in their Fiesta, the smallest engine available to buy.
It which claims some of the best fuel economy out there, but was surprisingly feisty. Really.
My review will be online tomorrow morning at Autonet, and will blog it next week.
Any day with track time makes me so happy, and did okay out there today.
During the event, two of my Autonet teammates, David Miller and Jeff Voth, and I sent a message to our editor, Dan Barron.
Who responded with this photo.
(meet more of my team here, and David, we need to make you a tag around here.)
Then the opposite spectrum part: off to a party for an engine about 4x the size.
Transformed in 10 minutes, from track attire to party dress, inside the hotel bathroom. I should blog some of my tricks for this, have it down to a science. That dress is 10+ years old, doesn’t wrinkle, and when in doubt, wear a suit jacket.
Fancy times, ladies were in full hair and makeup, I was still covered in track dust #MoreSpectrum
I can’t put my finger on why, it’s not just that they carry luxury badges, but Pfaff is one of the classiest dealerships. Will blog that event next week, too.
Then, this.
Further proof of what I always say…
And the end.
I have to be up at 5am to keep the dream alive, TTY then.
One of the world’s best cars.
Built in Italy, less than 100 will be produced.
Busy interior eh.
I got the key mwah.
Huayra is pronounced: wai-rah. Say it with a Hawaiian accent. It’s Quechua, the official language of the Inca Empire, and translates to “God of the winds”.
This is the all carbon-fiber model.
Of course I turned this moment into a blog header.
It was Pfaff who brought the car to town, its first time on North American soil. Thanks for having me guys.
