Can't beat that with a stick. I could really start living my Trees Lounge fantasies out in that thing!

Too bad they don't make Performance Paint anymore. I thought that Gittix was one of those private eyes that had their own TV shows? Another fave is that crack about rear seat legroom only being expected in limousines. Aside from being a handling pig, only mitigated by having too narrow a rear track, the brake…

It's fixed now, but, no, that's not what I'm doing. There wasn't an opportunity to comment or view anyone else's. It just wasn't there.

They're automatic. You're welcome, no extra charge. Didn't realize what a shiftless character I am.

I had a rear hinged hood fly up while I was on the highway. Broken hood latch, thanks, VW. Couldn't see a thing, and it was a little dicey getting over tho the breakdown.

Sounds nice. Was it a difficult conversion? BRG really works on them. I saw a gorgeous TR3 a few years ago in BRG - lowered, minimal bumpers and chrome. It was striking.

Stuffing the whole car full of dielectric grease should get you about halfway there.

So you took out the bedadoes and riced it?

We just want you to be happy.

Prove it.

Do you have any idea how dangerous that would be if he dropped an electric iron into the water?

Your premise is wrong. There's lots of fun to be had in the midst of a snowy winter. It's just a little different from a sunny summer day. Or you can wear shorts all winter, it's up to you.

What's better than driving around, like always, and thinking, 'maybe today I'll actually get some speed out of this lump.'?

It's just that powerful. The owners manual asks you to use caution when engaging first gear, as it can adversely affect the earth's rotation.
