the thing about living at home is that there are tons of great memories i've had with dad...
I remember I was hammering on a fence in the backyard when Dad approached. He was carrying a letter or something in his hand, and he looked worried. I continued to hammer as he came toward me. "Son," he said, "why are you hammering on that fence? It already has plenty of nails in it." "Oh, I'm not using nails," I replied. "I'm just hammering." With that, I returned to my hammering. Dad asked me to stop hammering, as he had some news. I did stop hammering, but first I got a couple more hammers in, and this seemed to make Dad mad. "I said, stop hammering!" he yelled. I think he felt bad for yelling at me, especially since it looked like he had bad news. "Look," he said, "you can hammer later, but first-" Well, I didn't even wait to hear the rest. As soon as I heard "You can hammer," that's what I started doing. Hammering away, happy as an old hammer dog. Dad tried to physically stop me from hammering by inserting a small log of some sort between my hammer and the fence. But I just kept on hammering, 'cause that's the way I am when I get that hammer going. Then, he just grabbed my arm and made me stop. "I'm afraid I have some news for you," he said. I swear, what I did next was not hammering. I was just letting the hammer swing lazily at arm's length, and maybe it tapped the fence once or twice, but that's all. That apparently didn't make any difference whatsoever to Dad, because he just grabbed my hammer out of my hand and flung it across the field. And when I saw my hammer flying helplessly through the air like that, I just couldn't take it. I burst out crying, I admit it. And I ran to the house, as fast as my legs could take me. "Son, come back!" yelled Dad. "What about your hammer?!" But I could not have cared less about hammering at that point. I ran into the house and flung myself onto my bed, pounding the bed with my fists. I pounded and pounded, until finally, behind me, I heard a voice. "As long as you're pounding, why not use this?" I turned, and it was Dad, holding a brand-new solid-gold hammer. I quickly wiped the tears from my eyes and ran to Dad's outstretched arms. But suddenly, he jumped out of the way, and I went sailing through the second-story window behind him. Whenever I hear about a kid getting in trouble with drugs, I like to tell him this story.

All of those cars sounded absolutly gorgeous. The GT40 (EDIT: Ford GT. Stupid name changes...) especially. Anyone know who's Turbo Lotus that was? Sounded fast as hell.

i'm still trying to figure out why interpol/speedholes got sandy vaginitis over people NOT driving like douchebags on public streets.
quit being such a square, there's such a thing as driving fast and still being safe. short of a catastrophic mechanical failure, i'm not losing control of my car. i spent enough time at the track to know what the limits are.

That video had some good noises in it... the Carrera GT's turbine like smoothness is always good times

Speaking of, there's a dark grey Lotus Esprit V8 that roams around sometimes with an aftermarket exhaust and it sounds absolutely beastly... plus it belches fire. Lots of fire.

But can it go around corners at speeds that would make a 7 flip over?
eh?

A guy I know has an esprit with aftermarket airfilters, exhaust, ecu (more boost) and water injection. Its the last iteration, I think theyre called final editions? We swapped cars once, I enjoyed the car immensely except that I was about four or five inches too tall to be really comfortable. Seriously, that car is not designed for anyone over 5-10. The throttle felt like it was stiffer than my cars clutch, but it was nonetheless fun to drive. I think it spiked to 12psi and settled back to 10, or from 10 to 8, either way you could definitely feel it surge at about 3k and then back off a little on the way to redline. I didnt push it much in the corners, but it felt very planted, and the feedback was terrific, it made the Z-oh feel like a bus as far as turn in and overall responsiveness.
It sounded terrific, too. Let me see if I can dig up a vid...........

This is over a year ago, he's gotten faster since then, but so have I.
