    hey jon, u were posting this just as i was telling u to in that other thread



    ok, well currently im in a 96 Acura Integra GS-R

    i had to retire from racing in my Honda S2000...i crashed her and almost killed myself...

    goin 110 around a turn w/ a flat tire is a bad combination...but somehow i survived, even though i should be dead right now... <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

    damn i miss that car...she outhandled everything on the road...and cost a hell of a lot less...

    i used to race her semi-pro

    i had high-speed training and everything...but still couldnt control her w/ the tire blown out like that...

    it was terrible...very sad...

    but she should be fixed in a few weeks, so might resurrect my racing career...if shes not sold... <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />



    oh well...shit happens, n'est pas?

    I've got this crappy old van.

    I'm a large person, so my car puirchases are all going to be vans or pickups. Large and cheap. i don't care about cars. I care about my Mac.

    Man, I thought 135 MPH was crazy fast enough for me...160 is where my bowels start to spasm, I bet.



    Well, 135 MPH was fast, but 120 MPH in "valley fog" is even scarier...There were contrails of condensed vapor at the edge of my hood.
