Now Jessi is another story.. One day A.J. Catanzaro (DAGS) was training
riders at our home track. He kept pointing at Jessi as she came by the
group during the day and later I asked him what they were watching. He
said, "I was showing them what smooth looked like". Jessi was thrilled
when she asked him the same question later.. A.J. is known for smooth,
nobody does it better... Well, maybe Tony A.J. currently races for GPF
and has been flying back and fourth to Germany for Supercross where he
is on the podium every week, and at age 16 is the reigning (US) National
Arenacross Champion... Yeah, I will let him judge Jessi, not some
vulgar old fart who wouldn't know a spoke from a sparkplug...


If you are a serious racer, the only judge that counts is the checkered
flag. How many does your team have? Is your racer competing against the
16-year-old wunderkind? How is she faring? Are they about the same age?

So, now you care about serious racing? Pfffftttt....


\

What makes you think *I* care about kiddie motorbike racing? You were
touting your racing team, then you mentioned a hot kid racer and then
you mentioned judging. That's why i mentioned the checkered flag. So how
many checkered flags has your team won when competing with the hot kid
racers?

She doesn't race pro yet... Buh, bye...

Well, you have to remember, Harry, being the best at everything, if he
were to race motorcycles, instead of being locked in his room taking
practice tests, he'd have started out pro.

Scotty thinks he's right and the vast majority of automotive
engineers
don't know what they're doing!
How long did he last as an 'oil change' technician for Mr.
Goodwrench?

Since you have some back to rec.boats the signal to noise ratio has
changed. There is more noise and less signal. Why don't you stop
stirring the pot, and start enjoying rec.boats as a boating forum?

mmmm ................when in Rome......

*Your* in hell, normally called Halifax.

Alright!! Nothing else so you have to turn back into the grammar cop!!!
How's that RAV4 that the salesman talked you into believing that it's a
truck?!


Duh!
The Honda Ridgeline is built the same way as my RAV4........ and it's
classified as a medium sized truck.


I thought you were aware that the rav4 was built on a celica platform.

He believed the car salesman, who most of us know will tell you anything
you want to hear to get a sale.

Harry doesn't understand the sport, that is simple to see and I am
pretty sure he wouldn't care or have a decent discussion about it even

The only motorcycle racing that appeals to me is the International Isle
of Man TT in any category. I especially like the sidecar races. The TT
races are very fast and very dangerous. These last few years, the TV
coverage has been terrific.

The only sort of organized car racing that appeals to me is Formula and
sports car racing over public roads, or interesting closed tracks such
as Lime Rock. Racing around circles or ovals bores me. I'm not saying
such racing can't be exciting or won't draw a huge fan base or doesn't
require a great deal of skill; obviously, it does. But it doesn't do
much for me. I attended the Daytona 500 when we lived in Florida and, to
me, the race was boring. I'm sure everyone else in the stands disagreed.
I really don't understand the appeal of NASCAR.

I know that to people like you who are ignorant of the sport, it looks
like people are just driving around in a circle. It's far, far from
that. That's how I know that you've never been in an organized race in
your life. If you had, you'd know better.

Sorry, bub, but I doubt your kid is going to make in the world of pro
motorcycle racing, not with you as team manager.

You basically have 2 tires doing all the work from one end of the car.
It is a lot easier to break them loose and be totally out of control.
My Prelude can get pretty squirrely when you are driving it hard.

As a teenager I always wanted a Prelude. The 4WS was revolutionary back
then.

The Mitsubishi 3000GT/Dodge Stealth was the next one but it was also out
of reach financially at the time.

Yeah, I kinda figured *that* was the lack of thought underpinning your
absurd statement, "Just doesn't make sense to have the steering and
drive on the same axle." Fortunately, Alec Issigonis wouldn't have
paid any attention to you back then, and no automotive engineer would
pay any attention to you today. But, hey, go ahead...go through life
wallowing in your ignorance.





It's all about handling and performance. If you are happy with FWD then
enjoy it.

No, he is just being an asshat, thats what he does.. If we all loved it,
he would hate it, that's why is is not allowed on any moderated
groups...


Evidently.

Why, to be an asshole, of course.

He lives a pathetic life.

The Mitsubishi 3000GT/Dodge Stealth was the next one but it was also out
of reach financially at the time.

A friend of mine who actually had two PhD's at the time bought one of
those Dodge Stealth's thinking that it was going to be a pussy magnet.
About 6 months after he bought it he said that the only people attracted
to the 3000GT/Stealth were 13 year old boys.

I didn't buy the 4WS Prelude. It was a such a different feel when
changing lanes on the Interstate but, you could turn one around in
little more than its body length from a stop.
