Rock,
Thanks for the help posting pictures. I noticed the beautiful bouquet in Vic's wedding picture and better understand his comments on the flowers outside your garage.
Back on topic....sort of...
Here are a couple of pictures of my money pit. It's a 26 Eliminator with a blown 580 running on pump gas. Not the fastest boat on the lake but certainly the fastest I have ever been on the water. We recorded one pass at 114 this month just before pulling it out of the water for the winter.

114mph on water is nuts, be careful

Very nice. I grew up with and around boats so I am green with envy.

When we are done racing 4-wheeled machines, I dream of buying an offshore racer and doing some competition. There are few things like traveling over water at over 100MPH with 1000+ HP on tap.

The odd thing is that while the wife will strap in a race car and graze concrete walls at 150MPH, she is afraid of boats!!!!! I guess a won't have here for a throttle man.

I have an 06 Honda CRV, 04 Honda Pilot, and a new beater truck - 2000 Toyota Tundra. These three will get all the ticks this winter in OKC.

I have a great wife but I got to believe I broke her in the right way. We were married about 3 months when my buddy and I (using his truck) backed my new to me 18' Rogers bubble deck, jet boat down the driveway. She popped out of our house and said, "Ohh Bryan got a boat". Well honey, not exactly, IT'S Ours!
We have calmed down quite a bit from rubbing the fairings through the twisties and cranking out 3rd gear wheelies to a large, safe family boat. Age, wisdom and kids will do that to you. By the way the wife took the pictures so you know she's cool.

Ody was picked Up before everything else. (except the vette). It was the family cruZer for a while until I got the range. Now it's the hauler of all crap.


Its still my best car with the least amount of problems.

Am I the only one with an NSX in here? It's a great car to compliment the e55. Equally fun in a totally different way.
