Thanks for the welcome return! As stated - the more things change, the more they stay the same...or so it seems!

I did hear that. Good for him - sometimes you have to cash out and venture into different waters. What is he up to these days?

Welcome back!
Wondering why a Mini wouldn't be fun on the track. A friend had a mid-80s Golf and I swear it was the most fun/$$ car on the track.

I’ve tried autocrosssing a few FWD cars, including my MINI — but it simply wasn’t the same dynamic as a RWD car. I don’t like terminal understeer! Yes, with coaxing, you can get the back end of rotate, just not as easily. Plus if you push the MINIs too hard, their motors go BOOM!

Can you really say you were gone when your name appeared in the moderator list? You were here, you just didn't know it.

:D I feel like someone who was returning to society after a long stint in the big house — or it is the other way around - am I going back IN for some other crime?!?

Admit it. You just came back for intel on where they sell Egg Nog ice cream in the Northeast.

If I had you on the PPOT gift exchange, I’d mail you a flaming bag of dog sheet, just for old times’ sake.

TAB's is still the Board's Oracle. He doesn't invoke MOTHER quite so often, and his prophecy has taken a definite doom and gloom turn, but he still stops by with some regularity.
The spoon threads remain a frequent topic, often curated by the inimitable Mr. Higgins, with helpful input from the Board's deep bench of resident scholars.
PARF...
...You'll find that pool, mustangs, the rise and fall of the stock market and continuing signs of our impending doom remain well documented and debated with fun spirit.

Wow - thanks for the update! To address some of the changes:
Todd (Nostatic) was a great partner in crime back in the day. He was chosen in part because often he was my polar opposite, and we were able to keep each other in check...
Looking forward to TABS’ words of wisdom. Not often you can brush shoulders with a man of such wealth and taste.
Spoon threads - I look forward to. And I have educated other - spoon enthusiast friends of mine at work, on the Facebooks, and even at my church: many are now using this moniker as well - I taught them the benefits of this clever substitution!
PARF - perhaps I will dip my toe in those waters. I have posted quite a bit of political posts on FB and really enjoy a good civil debate. (PPOT taught me well!) I was even unfriended by someone with opposing political views: something about me saying “Facts don’t care about your feelings...”
Stock market threads - I am looking forward to those - that is something that I’ve paid attention to now that I’m a bit older... I dabble a bit, and have grown my “sandbox” of stocks very nicely over the past couple of years.
