Nice!

I spent the afternoon drinking beer, doing a little yardwork, and washed a car. Cheaper for sure, but not as fun.

We spent the day preparing for our upcoming vacation, but last week we washed a car.

:rofl: True, but since this service actually requires photochopping I usually subcontract out to Pete. If you want to save a few bucks you can send it to him directly. HOWEVER, if you do this you get no warranty and once Pete gets your fax even TMT can't help you if you cross him.:rofl::rofl::rofl:

I see you are working your way back to 85 mph around Pete's curve real gradually.

You must have had a lot of time to think while the Ghost was spinning and over correcting on that one the first time- you covered some distance!

I've driven thru Pete's Curve many times after the mishap. It's a bad memory that I re-live everytime. I will always blame the damn ASR. Now I have the habit of turning that thing off, the last thing I need is the car braking on a curve.

I don't know if you noticed, but your Vette is surrounded by a herd of Hondas and other various Ricers............Run Forrest run!

That's my son's house, he drives a Nissan Titan. You can see I also had the Camaro there as backup in case the ricers tried any funny stuff. My son's Titan is pretty nice and mildly modified. He would brag about it's power so we went to the track and were lucky enough to get put up together. He doesn't brag too much anymore.:D

I'd have to find the time slip to remember for sure. That Titan is pretty healthy for its weight but my LT1 was stock w/145K on it. I think I ran mid 14's and he was low 15's or high 14's. His RT was outstanding and mine,,,well, lets just say the older you get the slower your reactions get.:leaving:

It was 106°F here yesterday. Sweet, if come here you may need one of those John Travolta/bubble boy suits with an AC in it. We would live it on until you properly acclimatize to the SoCal hot dry weather.
