No problem. We’ll just need to insert a probe...here. And another...here. All set!

An instrument that identifies and neutralizes all active cell phone users within a 200 yard radius. Maybe I should ask for a 1/4 mile radius. It is my dream, right?

Drunks I can handle, they are predictable in their own way. The cell phone talkers, not so much. They come out of nowhere to ruin your day.

Being the nice guy that I am, I’ll offer to double your money on those right now. That’s two(2) shiny dollars. I’ll even make them those fancy Sacagawea made from the finest ‘gold’ two dollars can get at the local post office. I’ll even pay shipping.

Let me know where to send these coins as I’m sure you’ll want them in…

People have to want to ride the thing, what’s the point in high speed if its going to stop for a half an hour every 90 miles.

Bullshit picture. I’ve ridden that line several times, most recently just last month. Mt Fuji is never visible from the Shinkansen. (Yes, I know it’s a real pic. I’ve been unlucky many, many times and Fuji is always in the clouds.)

Seriously though, I _love_ riding that thing. It’s always a highlight of my trips. I’ll…

We’ll be going next year. I’m so excited. I’m lucky that I have a wife that loves old cars and she’s making a living out of doing paintings of them. In fact, she’s the one who suggested going. I get to go along as her ‘Reference Photographer’ to take pics for her to do paintings from. That also means we get a tax…

If it had happened, I’m sure a camera would have been awesome.

I may or may not be guilty of after midnight drifting of a rental Lincoln Town Car though a Minneapolis Home Depot parking lot after the snow storm that collapsed the Metrodome. With the traction control off that thing could stay sideways forever before I ran out of parking lot. Allegedly.

Right there with ya. I spent two weeks in Japan with beautiful weather and came back last week to this mess. My lawn was knee deep and the rain means I can’t mow it. Every car show this weekend is canceled, again, so I’ll be stuck at home watching the grass grow longer.

No, it’s still happening. 80-100% chance of rain every day for nearly the next week.

I have found that getting in to work before everyone has one benefit in this weather. A freshly paved parking lot with standing water = epic drifts and slides before parking and heading into the office.

RIP in Peace, my earholes.

So, what you’re saying is:
“It’s okay for us dealers to waste your time by making you drive all over town to different dealers instead of giving you a price online or over the phone but for all that is good and holy don’t waste ours.”
Give me your best price in the first shot and I’ll leave you alone after that. Simple.…

Don’t you mean ‘sunset’? You’re facing down pit road towards turn 20 in the west.

End of that weekend on Sunday I was able to snap this really quick with the phone after everyone cleared out. A totally empty pit road, track, and stands. It looks so lonely.

As others mentioned, it's a purely emotional purchase. I also have a Golf R, a Range Rover, and my '61 T-Bird in the garage. I could afford a more expensive car but I don't think they'd be any 'better' at making me smile. It's just silly fun for running about town. It sounds and feels faster than it really is which is…

Don’t know much about Texas then, do you? Cars don’t rust here, just like most of California. Unless you live on the beach in Galveston and drive in the sand daily, your cars stay rust-free.

In Japan right now and I fly out on the 9th. Damn. I’d have totally gone.

Last time I tried that was with a WRX STI. I was told they would not place my order for me. They outright refused. Their excuse? “If we place a special order, that car comes out of our normal monthly allotments. They don’t ship us an ‘extra’ car. That means one less for our lot.”

No, I didn’t understand either. I…

I’ll have to stick with my current Mk6 Golf R. I’ve already told the wife that if they brought over an AWD R wagon we’d be at the dealer that week. Why does VW hate the States?

My older cars, yeah, I’ll change the oil myself. The newer ones? I’ve got extended bump-to-bumper service warranties. Why change it myself when I can swing by the dealer and let them do it for ‘free’?
