Got yelled at for thinking about using the A-pillar. That narrowed my options quickly.

He got in, but there was no way he could operate it.

Going from 0-60 in 4.4 seconds is real scary. You have to make damn sure there is nothing in front of you for a ways ......

That's 4.1 seconds, thank you very much.

Glad you're safe & sound at home.

You have to admit that once I figured out the secret, I looked pretty impressive getting out.

Yea, you move pretty good for a giant wookie. I was impressed.

Your wife was awesome. "Does this car have shocks?". Lol.

Ya well, I reckon that depends upon whether or not you have @Ultramaroon on board or not ......

Some times you just have to say f-it, take the day and go for a drive.

Indeed! I did.

Just waiting to see if this company I'm interviewing with emails me back with an answer for this thing they wanted me to work on that I have a question about.

Thinking of doing Ontario City for Christmas this year. looks like a pretty cool city with plenty to do. Plus the GF really likes pics of downtown during Christmas.

I know we've got a lot of Canadians here so I figured I'd see what you guys thought about the idea.

The Ultramaroon lotus position?

Oh, my, I was just given a CEL.

Nope, not on the FR-S but on mrs humfrz's Saturn.

The code reader says P0300 ...... UGH!

However, the good news is that when I took the car up to Bubba's shop, he fixed it and it only cost me 10 cents.

How?

He plugged in my code reader, placed a dime over the erase button, taped it down with duct tape, then left the code reader plugged in and stuffed it up under the dash .....

And here ya'll though ol Bubba fell off the pumpkin wagon right here in Puyallup .......

You know just erasing the code doesn't fix anything except the light... (although sometimes a sensor just randomly throws a code once and never does it again)
