I am not trying to be sexist or anything, but can someone tell me why there was a WHITEOUT WITH A 5 AXIS BODY KIT on beltway 8 going west today being driven by a woman?

Okay, that was pretty sexist..but I have bad experience with women drivers...and plus this fr-s was going about 55 in the fast lane.. . I honked my horn and drove by her, but she was ignoring me. I felt as if she didn't even know there was a forum :/

I work for HP too. SCIT. Half the people think that loop and bridge is a school zone drive super duper slow, and the other half of people think it's the damn Daytona 500.

Because she saw all the ads on TV and the internet, and when she got to the dealer to pick up the newest sports car available to show off, they offered her a limited edition body kit for an extra $10k. Just my guess.

Is this at University Park in spring or is there an HP next to Tomball too? I haven't seen any other Fr-s at either campus

Nobody around me understands when I say the people in oil companies so nice and friendly to work with.

I was in the Daytona 500 group, but that was when HP still owned both side of Compaq Center Dr.


Hix/Synack,
Do they still do the Chili Cookoff?

I had fun yesterday against over 20 current gen mustangs(5.0, boss, roush, shelby gt500) on GrandSport Speedway. The FR-S can hold its own against most of them The gt500 just had too much power in the straights though

Hix/Synack,

I work at BP so yea the oil company side is much nicer. I feel like the HP main campus is a McDonald's because all the employees act like cashiers. My mom works there doing benchmarking on custom server orders and she always says her group is a little island wading in a pool of shit. The oil side is not all gravy though, I do get yelled at and talked down to there quite often.

HP does a cook off? I have never been invited. I tend to go to the Letsos booth and other vendors like that.
