the tone will be lost and replaced with fat.

Porsche-poor 09-02-2014 11:29 AM

that and he will look like one of those wrinkle dogs.

GH85Carrera 09-02-2014 11:30 AM

Oh for sure. Especially as soon as he quits the steroids when the ER Dr. tells him he will die if he does not stop.

Porsche-poor 09-02-2014 11:33 AM

I'd wager he will not stop.

Whata ya think of the card I came up with?

Not bad although as David said I think the script for his name is more classic car looking, I just can't put my finger on it, but it is definitely a script that is used somewhere else either on a classic type car show logo, or on a script for a car. It is on the tip of my tongue but I just can't quite remember it.

Anyway, and unless you guys in yanky land spell "Appearance" differently to us Aussies, you have a spelling mistake in the second line. But love the colour, love the sparkle, and the subtle accent contour lines that remind me of a cars panels.

We had a party for Em on Sunday and I jokingly said if anyone contributed $10 or mor to Emily's college fund I would give them a ride in the Cobra. I while later a 15 year old boy comes over and said his mom would write a check. I laughed and said get in. When I got back there was a woman in her 60s and she wanted to go next and said her husband would take care of it. In all we (my brother in law took some too) took several people for rides but only one was a guy. No, I did not accept money from any of them. Found out that with these sticky tires the front tires rub under heavy braking. Need to do some fiberglass work there I guess. Was starting to run a little hot at the end of the day from driving hard, pulling in, turning it off, briefing passengers on the pipes that will scar you, helping them buckle, repeat the process.

The girls all stopped talking when I was hard on the gas. Some put their hands over their heart while their head was plastered against the headrest.

Sounds like fun.

I find it interesting that as long as I have had that car it has been far more girls that ask for rides in it than guys. From 10 years old to 80 years old. It is loud, does a number on their hair, smells since the pipes are right next to you, and is very awkward to get in and out of but they love it. Go figure.

My cousin's wife went for a ride shortly after I got it together and it took 20 minutes to get the rats out of her hair and after than I have always had a supply of pony tail holders in it.

Porsche-poor 09-02-2014 01:20 PM

note to self trade 911 for cobra....

RKDinOKC 09-02-2014 01:25 PM

remember giving a guys wife a ride around the autocross course. Any time we were accelerating she was laughing hysterically. Braking and going around corners she screamed bloody murder. When I asked if she wanted me to slow down, she yelled "No, No, No, I will Never do this again!"

Another PCA member's wife rode with me on a lap. She laughed the whole time. For the next several events she drove their 924. Think she was a little disappointed she wasn't faster.

There has only bern One wife that I have seen that was faster than her husband in the past 10 years I've autocrossed. The performance car, a RUF, was her daily driver.

The font is a free font called Rocket Script. The font used in the logo for the Cars Movie is Magneto and looks odd in his name.

flipper35 09-02-2014 01:55 PM

One of the girls got out and told her husband that she needed one.

We used a font once called Dave's Crappy Handwriting.

RKDinOKC 09-02-2014 02:00 PM

I designed a font that looks like Leroy Lettering. If you are familiar with the old lettering guides used for pen and ink technical drawings. Building the kerning tables took longer than drawing the characters.

Hey I resemble that remark. Crappy handwriting and all.

flipper35 09-02-2014 02:13 PM

Kerning, yuck.
