Do You Believe You Were Born to Stare at a Spreadsheet All Day?

What were you designed to do?

The 1973 Porsche Carrera 2.7 RS is widely considered one of the greatest sports cars of the 1970s.

The Carrera RS 2.7 was conceived as a 911-derived race car and was the first production street/race 911 widely offered to the public.

At the time, it was the fastest German car in production.

It’s literally a race car for the road.

To get a feel for how truly spectacular this car was/is, check out “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” with Porsche aficionado Jerry Seinfeld.

He waxes poetic about it, perhaps more than any other car outside of his 2005 Porsche Carrera GT.

It was and is a driver’s car designed to enthrall, inspire, and connect the driver to the road.

Now imagine driving the Carrera RS on roads where the speed limit never exceeds 25 mph and is dead straight for hundreds of miles.

Imagine never taking this rocket for the road to a track to stretch its legs.

It seems odd, doesn’t it?

It would be like using a Wusthof chef’s knife to break down cardboard boxes.
