Took a guy's wife for a fun run...She laughed loudly all the time we were accelerating, and screamed hysterically braking and turning. Slowed and asked if she wanted me to slow down. She said no, go for it because I am never doing this again! Continued on and hysterics continued until a little after we had stopped.

The couple that live behind us in our neighborhood saw me getting ready for the weekend one weekend when they were out walking their dog. I invited them out to the autocross. I figured since he drove a new Corvette he might enjoy speed. I took each of them on a lap. He said his stomach was left behind somewhere back near turn one.

He is for sure one of the leaders of the SLOW drivers club. I once followed him over to his sister's house a few miles away. We never once even got to within 5 MPH of the speed limit. It has to be the slowest moving Corvette ever. I bet he has never gotten it above 2,000 RPM.

Jacob giggles when I get on it in the Cobra every single time.

It would run 11.2 with the 2.73 rear end and crappy tires. Not sure what it would do with the 3.55 and race tires it has now.

When in HS one of the girls I knew had a trampoline. Her and all her sisters were well endowed. Wondered if it was the trampoline or just plain genetics. Think that was a time before sports bras too.

Several years later dated a girl when I had a 4wd truck. She kept a sports bra in my glove box just for 4 wheelin.

Stijn!!

I guess that won't fit in you stocking for Santa to bring.

Santa is bringing me a new set of 17 inch Euromiester rims painted white like the OEM rims. And new tires of course. That Santa dude is the one I see in the mirror all the time. He only supplies presents to Mrs Carrera and me.

Had to dash into town for a last min grandpaw type of rescue and low and behold I now have a wadded up Boxster. Two cars in one week. Yeah I think Lanna is gonna stay put for a while. Worst part is the deer I hit lived and didn't do much but poop and scratch the hood as he slid across it. The little bastard that hit me wadded up the left fender. And both the little bastards lived.
Imma gonna go back out to where they are hanging out and empty a few mags tonight.

Dammit, that sucks.

I saw the aftermath of a smart car hitting a fair sized buck a few weeks ago. Driver said the bastard walked away like nothing had happened, the car was devastated.

That sucks Rick. So you hit more than one deer or was another car involved.

Sorry, but I just have to say it, can't stop myself...Oh Deer.

When you get it fixed, tell them you want it to look like this...



That'll get them deers!
