I always thought coaching kids in NYC was worthwhile. I wouldn't put driving
any car up there with that.

Driving a Supra or MR2 with the roof off is very exhilarating, but I gotta
agree with Jeff the satisfaction one gets when one sees a youth excel at
something you have taught him or her is tough to beat!

For an adrenaline rush, come rappelling with me some time!

Good point.

Different kinds of satisfaction.

I'll bring some Nitro (and NOT for the car, either!)

Hey, how about bringing a Nitro 591 SC, that would be a rush.

True, but the adrenaline rush only lasts a few minutes after you make it
down the rope ;-)

Don't worry, most of our older Scouts have CPR training. I figured out a
while ago that the adults were a lot more likely to need it than the Scouts,
so it made more sense for the Scouts to know instead of me ;-)

I agree with Jeff here. Coaching kids has been one of the highlights in
my life.

How about all 4 windows down, back window down, sun roof fully open,
