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!

Hey, my other car is a 2010 Prius. It is a great little car, and surprisingly satisfying to drive.

Thought of the leccy 'yota for my daughter but couldn't handle the handling, power or braking so went Mini...what a blast, it really flatters whoever's behind the wheel. New Prius has better power than the older one but still can't deal with the dynamics, though my DD is a Super Duty so I shouldnt be talking...

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...
