I look way too similar to Da Crusher than I am comfortable with admitting.

Especially if I could wear that big ol' belt everyday to hold my gut in.

Wisconsin, the land of people eaters, drunks, and cheese enthusiasts. An eclectic bunch we are

When I was in high school, I somehow conned my parents on letting me go on a tour of Mexico with high school students from all across the country - which in reality turned out to be me, two classmates, two chaperones that were too busy banging each other to actually do any chaperoning, and a herd of chicks from Wisconsin.

I did not close the deal with any of the cheese heads, but it wasn't for lack of trying. I came close one night, but the chick partied out after a day in the sun and started projectile vomiting.

This is a "GOOD WEEK" for me. Finally, after a looooong wait, I'm happy to announce I just put down a deposit for another 996. I'm so excited I probably won't sleep at night. Going next week to inspect it. Fingers and toes crossed. :D

The loss of sleep comes after when you realize how insane/stupid you are for buying a car that is going to blow up and kill you the next time you crank it.

Ohhhh come on, just today I had some fun with a 718 after cars & coffee and it couldn't get away from my bone-stock going-on-17-year-old 911 Carrera. On the ride home car was downshifting as if it were saying "Thank you, Dr. Strangelove, you truly are rad." We high-fived, filled up, tucked in, and polished up for Cars und Kaffee tomorrow morning where I will hopefully see IkoIko911 and convince him to come over as he has also sworn off that other place we don't talk about.

How do you think I sleep?

One quote from Dom Toretto, and buster comes through!

Now few more messages to get you going.

If you can't find the right advice on this forum Mr. Georgia, you don't belong in your car.

Don't lose that cool of yours B3, that's your meal ticket. Attend the local AARP cruise, we'll see how you do....then maybe you get your invitation to RennRun 2018.
