Damn, Doug. Shamu is looking decidedly bad-assed with the new wheels!

You can beat ALL of the people some of the time.

Some of the people ALL of the time.

But there is no way you will NEVER EVER EVER beat HOWARd!!!!!

Or probably: Chris "Red Baron" or Jeremy "hide from the sun" or Loren "the rally master" or that "other" Chris who drives a Miata too who used to coach you so you could beat me and is way too stressed out now.

Dougopolous has ONLY one mayor. AND we NEVER have elections.

Could you coach Jeremy? Maybe tell him to keep his right foot on the brake pedal more?

Maybe this video will help you out.

And everyone will get a chance to beat me at the event since I will be driving the mustang. I am not even sure it will fit through any gates.

Charles isn't bringing the 240 because he is going to see "Dancing on Ice" at the Forum that day.

I'd let her drive my stick shift any day. :D

Wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be when it started out, the instructor gave her good instructions. I did learn that in timing seconds were called points. ;)

Very sporting of you to stay in MO. Never did understand that car being in D Stock?

Isn't that: "Driving on Ice?"

Jim, are you sure we can do that course layout at SPC, it looks vary fast and complicated? Definitely not very Miata friendly.
