So far you've put "driving" and driving which seems to suggest you're struggling to enlighten the lower mortals amongst us what driving is really all about.

I'll stick to driving how I enjoy it thanks and wish you well with your methods.

Do you realise that you can actually drive whilst listening to music? Did you know, also, that some people find listening to music whilst driving actually quite enjoyable, and can enhance the experience at that time? I must confess, that when on a spirited drive on a country road I won't have music on....but for when I'm sat in traffic, I'm on a long motorway journey, on my way to work or whatever, I listen to music.

Heck....it must be quite popular because there are lots of these things called "radio stations" where people can tune their radio to listen to when driving. Amazing!

And if you like listening to music when driving, why not have a good quality system? Or are you the type who thinks a grammaphone is fine?

Why not specify a microwave oven and a kettle in there too ... then you can have lunch while listening to your compressed iPod music ... and ... er ... "driving" banghead
Whoa, easy there fella. We can't all afford to have different cars for every occasion. The ICE in my 981 CS is admittedly not high end but I get your 'when driving' angle. There's plenty of 'music' from over my shoulder with the volume controlled by my right foot but... When I'm not on it, in traffic, in a jam... hell yeah I want music as I sit there waiting for things to get moving.

I don't really get why people track their road cars, when for the same price you could buy a fully fledged GT3 car (12C/650/458/488/etc) for the same price or cheaper!
A used 650S GT3 is ~250k
A used 458 GT3 is ~320k
A used 991 GT3 Cup is ~260k (and not a fully fledged GT3 spec)
Even a used 2011 R8 Ultra GT3 is ~160k

That's not accounting for the huge running costs per hour. So what are you even on about? Utterly clueless.
