Heh heh, the instructors who've trained my wife say she often outdrives guys because she doesn't suffer from "testosterone-induced stupidity"
Oh, and my apparent "wisdom" (scare-quotes are intentional
) often resulted from experiences involving less-than-wise decisions
Live (if you're lucky) and *learn*.

The best example was a Mallett Cars C5 'vette, 6-spd with one of their engine/suspension/drivetrain packages. Not much fun on the street, seldom got it out of 3rd gear around town, seldom used 6th on the highway even after I got the 3.73s, was always conscious of having to restrain myself. Sold it to buy the S8 (smart move, I posted about it in the Car and Driver forum). Chuck Mallett's a great guy though, builds good stuff.
Besides that I had some Porsches, an '86 AMG W126 SEC (32V "hammer" drivetrain, etc.) and various musclecars (e.g., 440X6/4spd SuperBird with lots of go-faster mods).
Somebody somewhere will read the above and say "oh, so *that's* who Accumulator is!".
