Everyone knows that Cuda wins everything.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Well you don't have to worry about competing with me. Found out the other day when I went looking for the Nov magazine so I could say "I know this guy!" I found out that she never re-upped our PCA membership after it expired in April.

I've always been an associate member since it was her 996 and I never changed that after getting my 958. Maybe it's time to change that...

I only joined after I got the 996 three years ago, but I like it. My region puts on a lot of fun events and I really like Panorama. Although every other story is “this guy found James Dean’s 356 in a barn in Ohio and after spending $500,000 on restoration at a shop in Tahiti it looks brand new!”

No shit. It amazes me how anal some people are. They are just freakin' cars. One of my favorite articles was last year when the editor bought a $2,500 924 and drove it home cross-country. Now that's the kind of story that appeals to me. I have very little interest in hearing about cars that don't get driven.

Doing research on cars to buy as a daily driver. Have been thinking about a 2013 or newer Jag XJ. I’ve had several XJs before, so when I landed on the Jaguar forums, I figured I had been there before. Put in my username and password and yup, looks like my reputation preceded me:
