What normally works for me is remembering that the gearing (if it is a manual) is crazy tall, so I'd end up wanting to spend another $20,000 on a shorter gearset. Stock 2nd goes to 85 mph, and 3rd to 121 mph. So winding out the gears on a back road isn't quite reasonable.

As long as you are the presenter there should be an icon of a rectangle with an arrow pointing up from the bottom. Open your presentation, then press that to share your screen. You can pick to share just the presentation so the others don't see your background of you cosplaying as Cher to your wife's Sonny.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

So, YOU didn't remember? -

AND, you think it's OK because she SAID she didn't remember either. -

I figured she DID remember and she just told you that she didn't remember so that you wouldn't feel so bad about not remembering. She must be a sweet lady -

HOWEVER, even the sweetest of ladies remember stuff like that and she has it filed away in a file that NEVER goes away.

Now remember this - naaaaaa ...... forget it ...... it's too fucking late -

I was there when her mother called to remind her lol. And I think this happened last year too. Getting some serious deja vu.

QFT. Although, if I could afford a GT3 R I think I could swing the speeding tickets. If only the wildlife would stay out of the way...
