Was just listening to "Smack That" by Akon. Mrs. S pipes up, "Hey, is that Chris Brown?"

"No, ma'am. Ike Turner."

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.

Forgot to get a memory card for it, cause of course you can't just slap in any old card :roll:

Oh well... I'm pretty good at waiting at this point... :lol:
Given the price of that type of item one would think they would throw in a card for free, but I guess not.

Funny enough, when she opened it she found that it did have one. It's not in the "what's included" list in the box or online. Of course it is not one of the options listed in the recommended list in the manual though :roll:

Was checking some stocks after close today on Yahoo Finance and saw an ad by Fisher Finance with the tickler "Want to retire comfortably?" The ad link featured a well dress dude on the phone leaning up against a 996! Wished I could figure out how to copy it here, but I'm not savvy enough.

On closer look it is a turbro so never mind that dude must be rolling in it!

I was just saying the other day that 2012 C4 GTS they have was over priced. If only they'd knock $250 off, then I'd be a buyer... :roll:

It's always a GOOD WEEK when best-selling author, occasional Gitmo AirBNB guest, and internationally-renowned automotive fashion consultant John Ireland shows back up.

He just subscribed to Jake's YouTube channel.

Wonder what kind of comments we'll get from him? Think he'll show up on RL again? Maybe we should snag him over here. ha! :lol:
