I live on the golf course in back of the tennis courts! Its basically my duty to show up

A friend had tickets right in the front with the rest of the corporate seats.....we had some good seats, but I rather steal the keys to the CLS and take that out!

I never drove it.

My wife was scared to drive it (translates to "eliminates the designated driver").

Folks in Eastern Kentucky really don't appreciate it. I was getting gas one day last summer and the lady next to me saw the prancing horse and asked me "Is that the new Mustang?"

Super fast but the 430 blows it away.

Thanks for the update on the ship.
i understand. the 360 isnt a daily driver or a family car. but why sell it?

I called the dealer yesterday and the conputers were down. They could not tell me where the car was.

I asked when the computer would be 'up' again. He was not sure. Get this. It was too cold and several of the girls were using portable heaters beneath their desks. It caused a breaker to trip and hence a computer crash!

Isn't that what politicians do when they retire if they have not been scandalous enough to write a book?

Hmmm, let's see - No, I don't know any politicians who AREN'T scandalous enough to write SEVERAL books.... :p

BTW, congrats, traumadoc! I heard your car is on U.S. soil!
I'll visit my dealer on Monday to check what's going on with my baby. They should start production soon (maybe they already did?) if they want to keep their promise (delivery 2nd week of January...)..

Actually, portable heaters are a VERY common cause of a thrown circuit breaker but that is usually only applicable to the computers on the users desk rather than the server or mainframe that actually runs the programs. Use to happen all the time at the bank I used to work at. But, he should have been able to simply turn off the heaters, throw the breaker and then simply turn the desktop PC back on.

This may be disappointing after Wimbledon but the top 50 players in the world are required to be in Cincy or pay a fine
