Porsche Perception

I have found driving Ella alters the way I look at driving in unexpected ways.

When starting the car, I turn off the radio to enjoy the song from the engine rather than turn it on to mask the rattles.

When planning a route, I maximize the number of curves rather than minimize the time required.

When the light ahead turns red, I smile at the opportunity to row through the gears again rather than groan at the delay.

These aren't things I do conciously, but instead self-observations made after it's already happened.
