Whoever coined the term "gender confusion speedster" deserves a Web-based Pulitzer.

I did an SCCA autocross in Sacramento last weekend, and there were of course many Miatas present. They were all driven by (potentially confused) dudes...

Since when does ostrich come in blue plastic? What has porn done to society to make the French tickler into a shoe? You're confusing me, Greg, but that's okay. I firmly believe that you are decidedly of the male gender, even if you roll up to the yogurt shop in your Miata--just rock it like you mean it.

Default Shelby event

Can't go to optima Vegas because
of the Ranch BBQ at dad's. So kicking
around taking the Pantera to Thunderhill
with the Shelby boys. Heading to Texas a week
and a half later to the Pantera event but life
is short so what the hell

Just checking to see again who is running T-hill

Bob

I'm pulling out as a result of somebody buying the motor and transmission out of my Falcon tomorrow. I may still cruise out to complain about the glare coming off of Greg's shiny paint, however, and to get a few hits of race gas exhaust...

The old motor pretty much was a new motor: Ford Racing X302, with about 6000 miles on it. I think it may have been starting to kill the T5Z, since I tend to shift off the rev limiter pretty frequently (or just bounce off of it). The stuff was good still, but I just want to go in a different direction, I think. I didn't like driving the car anymore, unless I was pinning it--this isn't always the safest driving condition. That's not the car I set out to have, so it is now slowly coming apart before it can go back together...

I've got a shiny C4 Corvette in the yard, and have been contemplating playing "If They Mated" for a couple months now...

Meanwhile, I've got to try and avoid failing out of law school in my first year, and get a grip on the ADD...
