Looks like we made it to page 914! Heady stuff that!

Here's my homage to the pride of the Porsche corporation:

My terminally-ill buddy at the office has a 914 I helped him buy.

The small-block race motor I have sitting in my garage in Big Bear will - coincidentally - fit in his 914.

And we wait.

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.

Saw a 914 2.0 driving south on the 101 in San Rafael today. Brought back memories of a friend's car many years ago.

Why the fuck did I move to Texas from San Diego?

Been below freezing with sleet and rain the last few days. Most schools and Govt shut down since Tuesday

Hey now, Texas is a lot warmer than most places until it isn't. Then it's much colder. Texas is a land of one-upsmanship, you see. And you've beaten me again, you Texan, you. :lol:

I took Pee Pee Eye out for a whiz this morning. It was 11 degrees in Big Bear last night. I wore slippers outside instead of decent grippy footwear, which gave me plenty of time to consider my mistake while I waited.

To hit the concrete sidewalk.

Isn't the answer to that question always "One"?
