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.

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.

You remember those funny rules like i before e except and c and such?

I bet there must be some "special" rule for that!

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.

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.

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

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

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.
