I admire your bravado!
A local muffler shop chain runs a commercial here with a guy sitting the passenger seat holding a tray of 4 lidless coffees while the driver tears towards a railroad crossing. At the last minute the driver says chill out dude, I just had new shocks put on at Joe's Muffler Shoppe!

Doing well - no symptoms.

Got a new chair today. Deviated stitching and diamond quilt! Like sitting in a new Bentley GT!

Great on the "no symptoms". I see your new chair has the capability for a four way harness!

Looks like I'm going to be a Floridian. Got one foot out the door from CA. Anyone here in the South East?

Thinking I may ship the 996 to Jake during the move, and drive it back home when he's done.

What you wanna know? I'm mid-Atlantic, but I have family in South GA and my parents are in the Tampa/Orlando area.

Last I heard, Jake doesn't let you drive the car home. If you pick it up you have to pay GA tax on the work and he doesn't want highway miles during the break in.

Looks like it's ready for a 5-point harness, which should help you from leaping up and bludgeoning people.

I need one of those. Badly.

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