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]" />

trust is an interesting thing, isn't it?
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.

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.
1990 BMW 535i...no silly mods.
