I think I'd recognize the 'Ring on just about any pic, but thanks for sharing the pics bro! And good job on letting the passenger in on some fun

mine usually just gets sick pretty fast

BTW is it like bug season out there, or smth?

Man, once it got warm here the bugs came out in swarms!

She is a really good sport, she had a blast on the ring. Not only that, but she goes shooting with me too. (Note, pink hearing protection

)

Looks like you guys make a great couple

much respect to ya

Mine just cringes and goes like "I don't like it when you speed up and make a turn" hahaha but I'm taking her on a drive to the mountains this Saturday and she promised to "behave", so we shall see

I don't go to a shooting range, but I've actually been long thinking about it - it is a really fun hobby. A buddy of mine took up archery, but I just can't think about it without a smile. And there are no gun ranges closer than maybe an hour and a half drive from where I live...

It was 22 Euro per lap. If you bought 4 laps, it was 75 euro (~$100). The track is 20km long. I know that I will miss it here. I am going to savor my last year and a half. Just yesterday I was thinking about how good life is here, I was walking the dog around the castle that is an 8 min walk from my front door. How crazy to have a 900 year old castle that close to your house!

Same reason I'm still here. I've lived in several countries (USA, England, Scotland, Germany) and this is by a big margin the best standard of living. We pay more for our cars and fuel, but somehow it all works out better. I'm managing to keep my tax rate at about 30% (being self-employed). I'm only having to use about 20% of my net income to run my life so I'm saving 80% of it. Ideal situation. No debts, living way below means and the highest standard of living around. It don't get any better than this. I'd never take my car on the ring though. I get all the speed I need on the Autobahns.
