Should we take this to mean you're preparing for your first 962 track day?

Was thinking the same thing!

Rick, maybe he spent all of his $$$ on the new car so he cannot afford happy hour!

Great choice Wayne. Did it last year in early June and it was HOT! Hopefully, you can get a ride with Bob. The guy is so smooth.
Of course, you bought the insurance since all your cash is now tied up in the 962.

That's kind of far for us on such short notice. 31 miles each way and the wife is just starting to cook. Give us more notice next time.

That's the reason I never make it to Houston get togethers. It seems like EVERYTHING in Houston is 20-40 miles away from where ever I am at the time.

I am very lucky because of my job. I work close to Bush, and live waaaay far South. So pretty much ANYTHING in Houston proper is on my way home.

I would just like to point out that you city folk are a bunch of Wussies..... 40miles one way is nothing.... I regularly drive 100miles one way for dinner in OKC....

And I've driven from Phoenix to LA for dinner and dim sum the next morning and come right back home. But I couldn't very well head out to happy hour when the wife was a few minutes from home and about to cook dinner.
