Feels good to be back.

I knew there had to be someone else who shared my sentiments.

I hate even stooping to that level to respond but she asked for it...several times over.

Taking the little guy home today in the C63!! Can't wait to start showing him car pics. I've been making F1 sounds to him since he was in the womb. I made some to him while my wife was recovering and it was the first time he opened his eyes....too funny. The wife just smirked.

If you and your wife had a girl, you could have named her Mercedes!

But I guess Enzo isn't too bad either.

Thanks everyone!!!

We wanted a girl but I'm not complaining about the opportunity to "extend the family lineage". My best buddy from high school vowed he was naming his son Enzo (it didn't happen, he opted to "duputize" him by naming him Jr.). Mercedes LOL.

The F430 is on the block. I can't justify it. She's been a garage queen the past six months. I think she's been out 3 times. I vowed I would never keep it only to have it sit in the garage and become eye candy for every delivery person that brings something to the house. It's drop dead gorgeous but I also have my eye on the upcoming McLaren P11. I have to credit the C63 with making the decision to sell it that much easier. A few good investments in this market and hopefully by time the P11 (keeping my fingers crossed) comes to market I'll be ready.

I'm haven't heard anything else on the engine sources since mid Oct. Guess the decisions will be economy driven. I just hope they don't decide on some interim patch like supercharging a direct injection V6 or V8, although that seems to be the trend.

Congrats bro! A son..... wow. They say you should play music while in the womb. I like your idea better, car sounds! Put him in go-kart at 3 or 4yr. He can be the next Lewis Hamilton!!

jtdominate

That's the plan....no seriously. He already has a Mach 5 power ride-on and a Enzo!!! Here's the kicker he was born on Hamilton's birthday, January 7th!!! My wife's been hearing the driver aspirations for the past 9 months. She thought I was joking when I told her his room decor was gonna be McLaren Mercedes, Ferrari and Dallas Cowboys. I ordered some nice prints from McLaren.com to frame and she asked "Don't you think it's a little early for that?" NOPE!!!

The Mach 5 and Enzo said for ages 2-7. He'll be getting fitted for the Mach 5 at 12 mos. and in the Enzo by 18 mos. Go karts by 3. LOL. This is gonna be a real joy!!! Now only if the US would embrace F1 and realize that a monkey can drive a car in circles.

That literally made me LOL. Congratulations on the new baby!

Congrats on the healthy child. No baggin on the red sox.

No real prob with the RedSox I just had to add that due to the representation in her sig. I HATE the Yankees. Go Rays!!! Gotta represent FL. Growing up I was a Dodger fan, my bro was a RedSox fan. I pull for them against the Yankees.

Great exchange with the haters who continue to wander in here looking for trouble. Hopefully we can get to a peaceful coexistence and focus on the cars....or guns!
Ask around about the 250, I've heard concerns about the modular design. I have a 226 which has a proven history and I just bought my wife a SP2022(polymer frame) in 9mm for Christmas.

While JKetch's response is over the top, it doesn't divert from the fact that you still turned to your wife who was nine months pregnant to bring you a jug of gas. Dilemmas like this occur, I understand. But you had a police car right behind your C63 and roadside assistance which exists for such moments. Not to mention the gas station was within walking distance.

Congrats on the kid though.

Air Marshall Eldritch

Wait one moment. The OP likely doesn't drive around with a spare gas can in the trunk. I don't. Who does, aside from landscapers? He could have walked to the station and returned with his two hands clasped together carrying 6 ounces of it, at best. His wife was needed to drop off the container.

I had a close call once. Drove up to visit family and figured I'd fill up on the way home. Well, I didn't realize that the entire town rolls up the sidewalks at 8pm. Not a single station open. Eventually got on the Parkway and rolled into a rest area on fumes, literally.

AsianML

Every single gas station I've been to sells gas cans.

glassJAw

Why congratulate on this useless moron having a baby? Any idiot can make one. Another useless sh*thead enters the world. Yay.

Is that b*tch of a wife making you pancakes yet? Seriously, she's a couple days out of labor you need to put her to work. Surely you need your floors cleaned too. Make sure she fills up that tank so you don't run out of gas anytime soon because it must kill you to give her another black eye. Tool.

Eurosport

she might have sounded harsh, but really what do you expect when you did what you did for a car and you're an MD.
last time i checked, 99.99% of MDs have class.
this post that you just made about Jketch just clearly reinstates your original post; if you treat a lady like you did with the gas, and you talk with a lady like you did in the above post, wtf are we suppose to think?

anyway i could care less how you are in rl, i know there's a lot of people that have different personalities on the boards than in rl, just like they are playing an RPG, WoW, etc...but i'm sure you're not a 16yo to make those type of responses. too bad because that's where those belong...

Boy Scouts, they are always prepared.

Or he could buy a gas can at the gas station like a normal person.

This thread is going downhill real fast...

Yippe another f**khead from Mass!!! Rip on a newborn kid. Well your senior Senator killed an unborn child must be something in the water up there or maybe the cold air has robbed you morons of any sense of reasoning. You must be the other half of that POS posting as Jketch. Two classless ****wads from the same state.

jtdominate

Not if the convenience store at the gas station is closed. Or maybe he could know that and opt not to waste his time walking to a gas station he knows only has the pumps turned on. Or wait maybe he could stand on the side of the road with a sign reading something to the effect of "need gas but need can first."

Or maybe his wife doesn't mind bringing a gallon of gas.

Why don't you write a book on what to do when you run out of gas. You seem to have all the wrong answers.

jtdominate

First- 99.99% of MD's have class?? Where do you get these statistics? The same profession where kickbacks are the norm for legally drugging people up when they don't need it. Ill have to remember that 99.99% of MD's have class. Thanks! (No offense to any MD's just taking issue with the train of thought of this post)
Second - I NEVER said I was a MD. I'm NOT. I was being sarcastic.
Third - Being female doesn't give you the right to be a b*tch. HUGE difference between a lady and the POS posting as JKetch.

Since when did it become a crime to ask a female to do a favor? Not like I commanded her and threatened stone her in public if she refused my beck and call. Gimme a break.

And to set the record straight, what I did for a car. The humor in the post was running out of gas just beyond railroad tracks. It sucked to have to be in a position where I had to call my wife to bring me gas. Sure I could have called Roadside Assistance but if she didn't mind, why do you??

Or maybe you feel the need to meet your wife/significant other at the gas station and pump her gas everytime she needs to fill up? It's not a crime for a female to pump gas into can in the US. Maybe in some parts of Mass. (dyed in the wool Republican here so I can't resist the liberal shots only figures I would bump heads with someone from the most liberal state in the county, guess it's my inner 16-yr old).

And yes I've got alot of free time on my hands at least for the next few months.

I would urge you to consider ignoring the negative posts from this elitist group. Any reply at all merely validates their comments. Think about it this way: anyone who has averaged 3-5 posts per day, EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS PROBABLY RAN OUT OF MEANINGFUL THINKING LONG AGO.
