The re-appreciation-effect
Parked the BS in the back garage to give it a winter rest and to avoid driving it in our recent floods. So pulled out my Masarati Coupe (6spd,400HP). I once thought it was a great car. I was quickly reminded that the BS is leaps/bounds beyond the Italian Camero.
So I'm think'n... maybe I should strip the Maz down and take to the dirt stock-car track out in Perris, Ca! How much fun would that be. Go AMG/BS !!!
Anybody else drive another car every know and then.. only to re-appreciate how insanly great our BS's are?
Also... I had Simeon mix-in his secret sauce to my ECU, (30+/- HP?)... Ooooo I like it even more.
I oftentimes get people asking..."what is that car"... so I made this license plate frame to clear things up. What do you think?
Top part = 537 HP PRIUS ???
Bottom Part = MAYBE NOT
Kinda smacks all the SoCal "eco-green" drivers on the 405 in their little hybrid little butts!

Good report, op. No doubt about it the Maser isn't getting close to the bs on the track or drags...might nice stock car tracker though...
