In the 1980’s was there on business. Customer was only about 2 miles from the airport. Had a couple days to kill waiting for the problem to possibly reoccur. Had a Datsun Z car as a rental. There are curvy roads outside Indy. Brakes on the Z car fade bad. |

Just be careful around Miami. They shoot at snowbirds who **** up traffic there. Here, driving slow in the left lane, even the speed limit gets you an impeding traffic ticket. |

When I bought the BMW M5, the purchase included time on a track somewhere down south ... one of the Carolina's I think. I never took advantage of it. One of the reasons I liked the Porsche more was that even at 30 mph on narrow back roads, it still felt like a sports car. But again, there are really no places to drive it to it's potential without either risking yourself, others or ending up in the clink. |

Really don't give it **** if it ****es anyone off. It reminds me of traveling down the ICW on a power boat versus a sailboat that is putt-putting along at 4 or 5 knots. You overtake the sailboat in the morning and then in the afternoon when you've pulled into a marina and are fueling up, the same sailboat soon goes putt-putting by you again. |

Road rage Wayne... In the old days, I'd race them. Now, I just let them pass me. If they are the type to give me the finger, I just smile at them. What's the big hurry? It's not like I am doing 45 mph. I am doing the speed limit or slightly above. |
