Re: It's a bad, bad day
The BMW looks exceptionally good considering the Camry pushed you hard enough to push all the others.

Re: Proud to be a racist too....
I'm not sure which attempt that was, but a change would require an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. To abolish the EC yes, to change how a states EC is allocated, no. Personally I would like to see the EC go away, I'm realistic, in my lifetime that will never happen. But states decide how there ...

Re: Proud to be a racist too....
I know WHY it was created, but in this day and age, shouldn't the electoral votes at least SOMEWHAT reflect the popular vote numbers? They could... and we attempted a few years back here in CA. If we could devise some sort of shaired appropriation of votes vs. winner gets all. I'd even go along wit...

Re: Proud to be a racist too....
Kinda interesting comparing the above site reporting as counted, vs. NBC Predictions, and how different they are. As of 6:59pm NBC reports Obama 200 McCain 124, the web site I found above is reporting Obama 149 McCain 159. I realize the "as counted" can be skewed heavy in the early reports...

Re: There will be a new look in Corvettes in So Cal
Like the mod, bet it gets strange looks on the street.
if your current camera mount is your only option, may I suggest setting the iris on the camera to the outside light vs inside the car for a better picture.

Re: Santa Anita Race trak
Apparently we have some misconceptions.... The primary front lot BMW and other companies hold their demo drives on is probably twice the size of Lot 12, so not sure where "small" comes from. Securing the space isn't that difficult, it has fencing on all the exterior edges (Huntington Blvd,...

Re: Darwinism at it's best
Heard a radio news story about the incident this afternoon. (according to them) the man saw the cubs, the mother was asleep a few feet away. He thought he could pet the cubs without waking the mother. Apparently the mother wasn't asleep and was able to swipe at him without even getting up. After doi...

Ash, As boys the majority of us didn't need scary dreams, we lived (gave) them to our parents. I was blessed with too girls, no payback for my childhood mishaps. Instead I get the privilege of teenage girl hormones. Don't know which is the worse punishment for my childhood pranks / tribulations on m...

Re: Marshall is out of town
When I was about 3 my mom was holding my hand as I was walking on a log at a local park, there was a small gap between that one and the next one, maybe 9 inches. Story goes she told me to step down, and get back up on the next one. At 3, sure I could have stepped across, but whats the challenge in t...

Re: Marshall is out of town
Picture on the car or not. I think Steve's new nickname should be "cupcake". It kinda goes with the personality of the car, and the obvious enjoyment of food of the driver.

Re: Ekstrand loudly requests a date be fixed.
Using the estimate above of 20 traveling to Kansas, I would guess 18 of them show up to any given practice day. You now need to fill those spaces. Additionally they are the more likely ones to enter two consecutive days, as second day practices without a gimic of some sort typically fall off in part...

Re: Race Report from TX
I can't say that there aren't gravel lots at LVMS (haven't explored them all), but there are several very large paved lots.
From the I-15 freeway, those lots at LVMS sure look a lot like gravel....I'd have to double-check that, never been there myself.
