Porsche's Had a tendency to be "abused" in shipping. We had to roadtest
each when it cam off the transport. To make sure the transmission wasn't
damaged. Turbo Carrera's were the most fun ;=) Except we had a sheriff
station about 1/2 mile down the road. ;={ After we got past there, it
was onto the Interstate 35 and check out the top gear.
