Had a 60 cc Benelli version. Promptly blew the engine up. Put a 125 cc Zundapp engine in it, which oddly enough pretty much bolted up. But there wasn't enough room between the front wheel and the larger engine. No problem. Installed the longer forks from the Zundapp which created the needed...

No, she never had a GTS, but two of the S version. 400 hp if memory serves me, and they were very nice cars. I put smaller wheels on those (as usual, basically), and more suitable tires for here, and even though she's a handling connoisseur she liked them a lot. I'm guessing she'd still have a...

With an 80% chance of rain today, and 70 for tonight, the 'Cats get to sleep outside and get treated to a free car wash. Hopefully there won't be any hail.

Figures. All this Porsche talk, and now she wants to order a base Cayman. That'd be her third, not counting the GT4. But then she also claims that she doesn't need seven cars. I'm arguing that the Q8 isn't exactly interchangeable with a Cayman, so not the best one to trade in. At least she's...

And that's the advantage of a long driveway...by the time I get to the road the performance pages have loaded.

Ah, I meant the night vision we're born with. Which doesn't like having light directed at our eyes.

Vikings do mind, and don't reveal such personal things.

Hey, after 10 years I still look very nervously at the smoke from people burning the ditches around here. Which they do now, during the windy season. When that fire in CA took place I was both out of the state and the loop, so I don't know how large the burn area was, how many houses burnt...

Never did understand the readouts on HVAC, or the radio volume for that matter. Either I feel that the temp is right, or I don't, regardless of what the display says. Same with the radio. Is 18 too loud, or just right?

C'mon, man. What do you need night vision for? Tacky interior lights are a thing. Nearly a must have. How would you know where the steering wheel is, for example, if the center wasn't lit up?

Apparently living in a different universe, my version of the Challenger would have either the '70 or the current body. I'm fine with either one. But it would have the '70's interior, completely void of all the tech nonsense and nannies. More of a driver's car and less of a video game arcade.

You're saying that I should put the badges back on, but with Velcro, and then keep track of what weekday it is when I'm driving? I had planned to give them to DGatzby, so his Durango would get some extra get up and go.

Meanwhile, I'd gladly pay extra not to have all that fancy tech and a large hole in the roof. And just like with the Challenger, Trackhawk, and now the Durango, had it been obvious that they have the 6.2 I wouldn't have wanted one. Peel off a couple of badges and they look much like the V6...

I can't say that leaving CA was the best decision of my life. Moving to the USA was. But leaving CA is a close second. Anyway, I need to check if I have photos of those cars. One was a Darracq. And it was far from a palatial setting. Most were crammed into a small old wooden barn. Heck, even...

What hit him the hardest initially was all the animals that didn't make it, including quite a few exotics. Then, I'm sure, that most everything he'd worked for all his life (except for companies in other locations) was just gone. Buildings, orchards, vineyard, cars, all of it. And that many...

Oh, it cost him a few mil alright. As an aside, today I heard my girlfriend mention to someone on the phone that the Aston Martin she sold him came with a lifetime Sirius subscription. Obviously peanuts in the scheme of things, but still ironic. Well, at least that was must've been insured...

As I recall, like most of his cars, it wasn't even insured. Two of them were the only ones left in the world. And compared to everything else lost (the entire ranch, basically) the cars were not at the top of his list to worry about. He since left SoCal for Texas. We tried to get him to move...

If there's no more in the shaker, may I offer up that my girlfriend's boss' one burned up in a fire in California?

I'm sure that debate was going on long before I joined in, but I do like to add fuel to the fire. And some take it well. You and DavidKFla, for example. Some others, maybe not so much, but that's okay. I'm not here to win any popularity contests.

Well put, 4pac. But it's a good thing we're all different, or it'd be quite boring. Besides, I find many of the (to me) unreasonable posts entertaining.
