We'll need clarification on this Chris, are you talking 'bout Jane or the Carrera? Jane may not like the "drive" reference.
Either way congrats on the 30day pass.

Tonight and tomorrow I'll be doing some "driving" heh, heh..

Thanks to everyone for all the good wishes. Dave M. may join me to photo the Carrera at Deadmans tomorrow.

Great news, Chris. Man, the DMV always has one more way to make you pull your hair out that you never thought of before, huh?

Hey, look... I'm sure you've already thought of this, but ease up towards 10/10ths gently, okay?

Because the old neurons aren't firing quite as fast as they were the last time you took her through the gauntlet... and we don't wanna get word you went off at Carl's or something.

Heh heh.

Just curious... did they do a run-through checking all the usuals like turn signals, brake lights, etc.?

Oh, yeah... Happy Anniversary, too!

No, The car never left his property. Since the VIN as still in the DMV database, Chris just had to re-register (with some penalties for not filing a NPO) the car and now has to get a smog check.

Chris is sleeping just fine tonight. Everything will go as planned. It's all calculated. Back to the future. Trust me.

By the way......the wedding is off!

If ever I have seen a car truly smile, this one sure is!!!

I can hear it saying "Thank you....I'm home".

I think it was the driver doing the smiling, too, in one of those pics.

But you know, there is a small difference in a smile and a "cat that ate the canary" grin!

That was an interesting ride! I need to spend a couple more minutes buckling in correctly I don't know about you Derek, but I had issues when the windshield went completely white from the haze on the windshield and sun, especially when Chris then decided to put his foot into it.

Some video and more pix to follow.

Thanks for the beers, Chris. I needed them!

The UV filter on my video camera is toast. A few rocks hit it. Oh well, that's what it's for.

Yeah, those are some odd belts. Good times though.

Chris trying to figure out if he will need to install wheelie bars for the launch.


On the road, just in time for traffic.


Back at Grandstands.


Coming up to Deadman's. To chicks had stopped to take some scenic pix...


I think Chris pissed off the Asian one, I heard her saying something about the smell and smoke... The look on her face also shows her disapproval.
