PS - Please note that I normally do not take part in such childish behavior, but just had the urge last night to have a little fun and the roads were completely empty when this happened.

I think VTs daily high speed runs are rubbing off on you

Speaking of which, I wasted about 2 gallons of gas in the Grapevine on the way to LA Thursday night against a VW Passat and Toyota Camry Solara! Eh, was bored...

LOL! It's still dry here. There's no snow in the forecast. I actually have my winter wheels and tires at my local mechanic. As soon as a blizzard warning goes into effect, I'll be driving over there.

PS - I haven't seen you around town lately. Everything ok?

Everythings peachy. I actually like driving with the snows. It's like careless driving. No more hawking potholes

I actually laid off the gas and gave him a chance. I didn't want to embarras him in his $110K car. I probably could have taken him, but for my safety and his, I let him go.
Yeah right...when your steering wheel grows an M button.

Cheers,
Ray

Ja, indeed. It?s nice not to have to watch out so carefully, esp. when full-blown pothole season is just upon us.
