Thanks Kevin!

Which tune? Insomnia is the album... there's a couple different songs in the "trailer" for the DVD.

Not sure of the title. The video starts with some b/w scenes of street cars in a city.

Good times last night at Bob's.

It was nice to get out for the night. The GT40 replica was sweet. Chatting with guys was good but IMHO a good wingman woulda tossed that blond over to the first available guy in the line up. I'm just sayin............Radu. It tore me up seeing how she was using you just to get to me.

Derek,
As always awesome photos. The man has perspective!

Radu,
I see a number on your car this week. Must be close!

Kevin,
Always the chick magnet. Better a hobby than a living.

Be well!

Pics from this morning

Uh, hey guys, you sure about this?

I think that's a car in front of me.

After the white knuckle ride through the fog, we thought it might be time for a cold one before continuing.

Very pretty early in the morning with the fog.

Up on top of Latigo, out of the fog.

Who's missing?

All you're missing is a shot of the slightly crazed lady who noticed slodave's beautiful eyes from across the parking lot.

edit: Actually, you might have still been in bed when that happened.

Not too many great pics of today, as the weather wasn't the best. Actually, kind of a grim start to things. There are actually 3 cars that I'm following in the first photo:


But we climbed through the fog, and the views were their usual spectacularness.


What's that Volkswagen box doing, defiling the purity of the lineup? Though it's particularly humiliating when you get your a$$ handed to you in the twisties by a lifted pickup truck.


Back at sea level, and back into the fog. Slogging it along PCH.


And then, back into the canyons.


The picture that I really wish I had, though, is of the look on lfot's face, in the passenger seat of the porcupinemobile, clinging on for dear life with his cheeks flapping like he's on one of those NASA rocket sleds. Quote upon disembarking: "I'm a bad passenger."

Crazy People! That was a good flick. Just don't ask about Saabs..."How the flip are you?"
