How cool would it be to be a "Ring Taxi" driver? I mean you get to hoon an M5 around the the most awesome road-course, scare the crap out of passengers, and get paid!

One of the few jobs that makes me jealous :)

I know it's the 'Ring, but I might get board after driving the same track for dozens of times a day.

You know I have been teaching the same content for 9 years, but the students are always different. So maybe each passenger is a unique experience, or maybe the drivers just get so good it is almost sub-conscious.

Now imagine the students were the same for 9 years.

Are the students the car or the track in this metaphor?

There are quite a few boards at my work. But perhaps the 'Ring has more boards, I'm not certain.

I'm a dick. Anyways, it may get boring, but relative to my current job it would be way less boring.

If only it didn't sound like a synthetic Impreza...

I might be mistaken here (and I will ofc check back to be sure), but I think the GT-R sounds better even with the stock exhaust. Isn't that peculiar? Turbo V6 sounding better than a twin-turbo V8?

Too late to edit this now, had to revive my keyboard.

Good thing there's a fix ... still sounds a bit tame for my taste, but it's already a touch better.

Hmm, better but only by a bit. Still doesn't really do anything for me.

On a GT-R, though, it seems to make a more audible difference.

Now that I like. Clearer and more menacing than standard, but not obnoxious.
