Derek,
I agree that everyone should take a breather. I certainly meant no direspect to anyone posting, but simply wanted to chime in on what I thought was a little on the "bashy" side with respect to banning's replies to thinkfloyd. For what it's worth, I grew up in SoCal and am aware of the history of Mulholland, certainly not nearly as much as someone like banning who apparently lives right there. I simply wanted to chime in because I have a close friend whose life was nearly taken from a couple of idiots street racing. It left him in very critical condition for a long time and he will never be 100% again. They slammed into the back of his car at about 60mph (estimated from the skidmarks and damage) while he was at a standstill for a redlight. They did not see him because it was a redlight that was after a slight curve in the road. My friend never knew what hit him... You guys are there and hey, do whatever you want to do, but, sometimes we are not in as much control as we think we are, and you never know what the others around you are going to do. Not chastising, judging, or bashing you guys, but just trying to give everyone else something to think about.
Now then, on a lighter note: Derek, how was the new muffler on the drive?

V8_ranch, your comments are appreciated. You sound like one of the most intelligent people posting.
Thank you for pointing out that you never know what others around you are going to do. That's very true.
I am very sorry for your friend. I send him my good wishes and prayers.
