Default Notes for all who replied to the "today I drove" thread, and more... - 07-14-2006 , 10:56 PM






Note #1 Captain Morgan Private Stock is fueling this post... Highly
recommended for $1.00 over the standard blend. It's like the original
with more vanilla.

Note #2: "American Graffiti" is on right now and yet somehow I'm
resisting it long enough to post. Maybe it's because that movie seems
cornier every time I watch it (yet still I keep watching it)...

Note #3: T308, I think it is badass that you're getting another 250GT/E
(I'd take a 250-anything, I love the classics) and like you, I'd love
an SA someday. Letterman has at least TWO, which makes me very
jealous...

Note #4: Attn. Michael Becker: Seriously I took no offense and you are
more than welcome to say whatever you want on this forum, assuming you
haven't already become addicted to Ferrarichat with its quicker
feedback and more substantial content...

Note #5 Psycho Mike aka test subject: Those .410 bore buckshot loads
don't spread much, they just tear about a 1.5" hole straight through a
bad guy. They're available on the internet if you can't find 'em
locally. If you wanna end the bad guy's existence I'd recommend them
and slugs. Do a google search on box o truth and also (I think) it's
www.brassfetcher.com for some cool ballistic info.

Note #6: TR1, I'm glad you're feeling better and I really hope you end
up driving that Mondial to Monterey, or failing that, you and the
infamous crewchief might tour wine country or, if visiting his family,
ethanol country in it... What? They are the "cornhuskers" after all...

Note #7: Rue, I'm impressed you're keeping the faith with the 914-6...
Despite rust and family matters the car remains in the family. Very
cool...

Note #8: Paulo, you're still one hell of a guy. Ever the diplomat, you
strike the perfect balance in here and your better half is always a
treat. God bless Tennessee...

Note #9: Phil, if you still lurk in here, just know you are missed. I
hope you, the lovely missus Phil, and the boys are all doing well...

Note #10: Joe, "Iaaaaaaain", Funky, Speaker, Thomas, the South African
kid with green hair from the Porsche board, etc. etc. etc. I guarantee
I'm missing some very important people but its late, so thanks for the
memories, drop in again anytime...

There Mike, now you have a lovefest...

I can't read the rest right now. Too much champers and Andrew Murray
Syrah. I'm plowed....

You know, I've never seen it. Can you believe that?

With this latest acquisition, T308 is officially 'seriously cool'
(previously he had only achieved 'way cool' status).

I had to read that again in a hurry! I misread 'cornhuskers' as a rather
similar word who's latter two syllables are 'sucker'... and there I was
thinking 'Blimey, Matt, that was a bit strong!'

God ... it almost sounds like you have a pistol to your forehead
(though, having just watched "The Shawshank Redemption" for the 500th
time, I think the under the chin shot works better). You're not saying
goodbye, are you? Because if you are, please send all your remaining
firearms and your music collection to me here in Prescott.

I too love the Private Stock. I've even found it *cheaper* than the
standard at a couple stores here.

"I love you, maaaaan!"

That's so sweet. If only it were true. I felt fine after my surgery.
I've got something else I've been dealing with that is getting worse
and sucking the life out of me. I get to do this neat thing called an
Insulin Stress Test next week. My doctor tells me it's not uncommon for
the patient to take a swing at the medical staff during the test. Could
be fun.

<<and I really hope you end up driving that Mondial to Monterey>>

Thanx! Only it appears that dad's not doing the Historics this year.
(!!!) Wanna see pics of what he did to the 512 at the BRIC?

<<or failing that, you and the infamous crewchief might tour wine

One of these days, man, one of these days.

<< or, if visiting his family, ethanol country in it... What? They are

Go, team!

<<Note #9: Phil, if you still lurk in here, just know you are missed. I

I second that! Or third it. Whatever. We all agree.

No, I'm not saying goodbye, but if I were you'd get the AR-15...

Ugh, sounds like fun... I bit down on a drill once while getting a
tooth filled... Good luck with that, hopefully yours is one of the easy
ones...

Yes please! I'm guessing it backed into a barrier all by itself,
mid-corner? Something along those lines?

Not unlike that nasty cone that leaped out at him at Laguna a few years
ago. This time a tire wall did most of the damage. He's honestly not
sure if he got clipped by another car before that.

<< -Matt- "Just remember kids, power steering fluid is flammable.">>

Makes for a purty picture!

Speaking of which. Check your e-mail.
