The smart ones will let you do it yourself. The dumb ones just don't get the fact the car is worth more to you than he or she is.

Richard, that is sad, but honestly very funny, sorry!!

But aren't those things way cool, can't imagine how long it takes to master them, but I had a horrible thought what if you can't congtrol it and you point yourself underwater, and stay there going down to the end of the tube, wonder if they just turn it off and let you float to the surface?

The porpoising looked fantastic.

My commute can be done by just picking up my laptop. If I weren't so lazy I would use my iPad mini. The screen on my iPhone is just too small to remotely do much.

Just after college I worked in a machine shop on 3rd shift, 9pm to 6:30am. Commuted the 6.5 miles on a 10 speed bike. Only took about 15 minutes. Only part I didn't enjoy was dead calm evenings in the summer when I would hit swarms of gnats when breezing through a park along the route, pah tewy. When the weather was really nice and I has time sometimes I would just walk. Took over an hour but was very calming.

I don't think there's any other non-DIY pumping states other than NJ and Oregon.

If it weren't for DIY pumping, I wouldn't get any at all

It's been 6 months since I got gas.

Well Richard, when you are sitting on the couch you don't use up much fuel!

Rick how was the new job? Have they got you sorted yet?

A photographer was at the autocross. I need to remember to pay him a tip since he does not really charge for the photo. This particular car I really like.

There is a chance of s*** tomorrow it was mid 50s and clear skies today. The guess is for up to an inch of the stuff. At least we get some moisture.

Every time some says "s***" I think immediately that you mean "sh*+" there's a 99% chance of that every day.
