I watched those with the grandkids when they were younger. I swear I was laughing louder than they were.
Never gonna make you cry...

We flipped to the Spanish language HBO by accident one day and caught the movie on. Cheese in our house will forever more be referred to as "Queso Grommit. Queso" in a lusty voice.

Best claymation ever! Probably time to scare up the old Wallace and Gromit and “The Curse of the Were-Rabbit” for my kiddies at Halloween. I may still have “A Grand Day Out” and the second one on VHS in a box next to the Ron Jeremy Gold Collection. Thanks for the memory-jogger heads up!
And in keeping in with the thread title, I ordered some Miller’s Nanotech+ for next oil change. My engine burns DT40 and the Leichtlauf in it now seems to shear too much at normal temp.

I did some of this hoonage:
And some of this autocross:

The man has figured out the solution to avoiding the donkeys that bleat about crests pointing at stems! Ditch the crests altogether!
Though I also see that his washer caps are missing, so maybe he's just one of those "must shave all extra weight" loonies...

Hey theprf, who's the old guy driving your car?! It actually looks like he knows what he's doing.

You are using the term "old" as a relative term and non-descriptive right?

I am a bit surprised that no helmet was required. We have to wear them at autocross where the top speed is about 50 mph.

I made note of the missing helmet too. That surprises me. Even the non-official AutoX I do they require a "real" helmet. DOT approved at a minimum.

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?
Thanks men.
Jeepers, I'm not THAT old (mid 50s). I had my helmet because I planned to run the open track day after except the serpentine belt broke. I was surprised the helmet wasn't needed. The autocross track was really small. Yes the car goes pretty well. One of the autocross instructors couldn't believe it is 20 years old and has 170k miles. I've been track driving for about 7 years and this was the first time on a small autocross track.
You can't run center caps on the main track because they melt from the brake heat, so I don't need to worry about aligning the crests.
Oh, the washer caps are still there, just painted black.
